Agnetha Then and Now | home
Pre ABBA pg 2
Agnetha says about the day she found out she was going to have a baby:
I couldn't believe it was true! I was so happy I walked around in a
daze the whole afternoon...I called Björn...I had to cry for a bit...
"You have to come home!
Your going to be a father!" She first knitted some orange baby socks!
Agnetha and Frida became close during this time. It was Frida that she looked to for advise
and support. The 2 couples became close. Both were living near each other in Vallentuna.
A pensive Agnetha awaiting the birth of her first child.
The fab four do a photo shoot in December for a magazine (Vecko Revyn) pretending to
be celebrating Jul. It is at Björn and Agnetha's house in Vallentuna.
The Swedish Song Contest was held and Agnetha was due to give birth
any day! The winners were to go on to the Eurovision Contest. Unfortunatly
"Ring Ring" didn't win for them. They came in 3rd because of the judging,
but the song became a hit anyway.
1973
February 23, 1973 Agnetha gives birth to Linda at Danderyd hospital.
Back out on the folkpark tours June 1973.
By now the girls were singing more on the records and recieving equal billing.
After the birth of Linda social lives changed. Agnetha and Björn now had a baby to consider
and their lives changed direction. The 2 couples only spent time together now when they were
in the studio.
In 1972 Björn and Agnetha moved out to Lidingö and Benny and Frida moved to an apartment
in Stockholm.
