The Joy of Abba

SINOPSIS

Documentary exploring how pop legends Abba raised the bar for their music genre in the 1970s and early '80s, popularising the sound of Swedish melancholy. The programme explores how the quartet of Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad came to dominate the British music charts with simple, catchy melodies, but also divided opinion due to the mass-produced prolificacy of their output.
