Anni-Frid, Princess Reuß von Plauen (born Anni-Frid Lyngstad 15 November 1945 in Bjørkåsen, Ballangen, Norway), styled Her Serene Highness, is a Swedish singer (of Norwegian and German origin), best known as Frida Lyngstad, one of the four members of Swedish pop group ABBA. Lyngstad showed musical talent at an early age, beginning in her first years at school. On Fridays, she was often asked by her teacher to sing in front of the class and soon became known in school and in the neighborhood for her beautiful voice. At the age of 13, she got her first job as a dance band and schlager singer in 1958, with The Evald Eks Orchestra. Mr Evald Ek himself remembers: "It was hard to believe, such a young person could sing that well. She was so easy to rehearse with and she was never shy onstage. The only thing I taught her was to sing out. In those days, she had a tendency of holding back her voice a little". With the Evald Eks Orchestra, the 13-year-old Lyngstad, performed every weekend in front of a dancing audience. The sets often lasted up to five hours. The songs she liked most to sing were the evergreens; "All Of Me", "Night And Day" and "Begin the Beguine". To advance and develop, she also started to take singing lessons. Later, she teamed up with a 15-piece 'big band', who performed a jazz repertoire covering Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and Count Basie; her vocal idols being Ella Fitzgerald and Peggy Lee. In 1963, she formed her own band, the Anni-Frid Four. [1] |
