BEFORE IT WAS A HIT SONG…

These songs are well known but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with prior versions of the same song.

Fernando

With the exception of "Dancing Queen", ABBA's best selling single is "Fernando". The disc reached #1 all over the globe in 1976. The female lead was performed by Frida.

She recorded the original version of "Fernando". This 1st interpretation was sung in Swedish for her solo LP 'Frida ensam'. The album was issued in 1975, a year before it was given new English lyrics and re-recorded by Frida with the other 3 members of ABBA.

Each new song will be added to the spotify playlist named: ‘Before It Was A Hit Song’.  You can check out the previous earlier / original versions of the hit songs you know and love.
