One of Abba's best ever songs, but also one of their least known ones. It seems impossible to get a video of them performing it, live or otherwise, so one just has to make do with montages like this.

More Abba, this time from late 1982. By this time the group was close to breaking up, and this song didn't even get into the UK top 30 chart. Even so, it's a very impressive effort, and far better than at least 99% of stuff released by anyone else in the 1980s.

Another underappreciated Abba single, from the spring of 1975. They won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with 'Waterloo', but were largely ignored outside of Sweden for over a year after that. It was only after the releases of 'SOS' and 'Mamma Mia' a few months later that they became a major force in chart music.

Here's another performance of this song on ZDF, which is a German TV channel, but the YouTube upload clearly has a Portuguese dimension.
