Agnetha Faltskog Biography |
||
|
Agnetha Ase Fältskog was born on April 5th, 1950, in the southern Swedish town of Jönköping. Not even her parents, Ingvar and Birgit, could have predicted the fame their daughter would eventually achieve. Agnetha`s father opened a door that would eventually lead to stardom. Ingvar Fältskog loved the local amateur dramatic society and often put together shows for the local community. In 1956, he organized a Christmas show that was Agnetha`s stage debut.
Agnetha signed with the CBS-Cupol label and her record topped the Swedish charts on Sunday, January 28th, 1968. Her first album released by Cupol was called Agnetha Fältskog. The year 1969 brought an album titled, Agnetha Fältskog Vol. 2. It was a major success and Agnetha had a place in history as one of Sweden`s leading female vocalists. But something even greater than all of this was about to happen in the summer of 1969... she met Björn Ulvaeus, the man of her dreams, and the beginning of a musical collaboration between four wonderfully talented people. The groundwork for ABBA was being laid. On July 6th, 1971, Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus were married in the village of Verum in southern Sweden. The couple decided to separate in late 1978, and Fältskog moved out of their home on Christmas night, 25 December 1978. In January 1979, the couple filed for divorce, which was finalised in June 1980. Both Fältskog and Ulvaeus agreed not to let their failed marriage interfere with their responsibilities with ABBA.

Ex-husband) :: Benny Andersson [Associate] (ABBA singer, composer & keyboards) :: Anni-Frid Lyngstad [Associate] (ABBA singer and composer)Trivia and QuotesQuotes I may have aimed too high sometimes, asked too much of myself and demanded too little from those around me. It`s strange that the newspapers don`t see a connection between their false revelations about my private life and my need for seclusion and security. I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it`s really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything. There was a time when the music fell silent. Both within me and around me. I must be allowed to be as I am. My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones. This idea of trying to repeat a success doesn`t interest me. It`s only really done to make money. There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection. When I`m living in the world of luxury and celebrity, which is where I found myself for a large part of my life, it`s a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity, like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it! It has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn`t keep our family together. You never get it back, but to this day I don`t regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don`t want to go into! I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels` tracks behind me in the snow.Trivia In 1996, her autobiography Som jag är was published in Swedish (in English the following year as As I Am), followed by several compilation CDs of her Swedish and English recordings.
