Anni-Frid Reuss, Dowager Countess of Plauen(Anni-Frid Synni
Lyngstad; born 15 November 1945), widely known as Anni-Frid Lyngstad and
also known by her nickname "Frida", is a Norwegian-born
Swedish singer, songwriter and environmentalist, who is best known as one of
the founding members and lead singers of the Swedish pop band ABBA. Born in
Bjørkåsen (Ballangen), Norway,
to a Norwegian mother and a German father, she grew up in Torshälla, Sweden,
and started her first solo career there, as a jazz singer in 1967, through a
talent competition called New Faces.
She won the
competition with her song, "En ledig dag",
leading to a television appearance on Hylands Hörna on Dagen H; as a result,
she was signed by EMI, and in turn was
signed by Stig Anderson's record
label, Polar Music, after
years of releasing several singles and an album, Frida under the earlier record label. Although she had moderate success in
Sweden, as she was a contestant for Melodifestivalen 1969 with her song "Härlig är vår jord", she did
not reach international fame until she joined ABBA, which has sold over 150
million albums and singles worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music
acts in history.
After the
break-up of ABBA, she continued an international solo singing career with mixed
success, releasing the albums Something's
Going On(1982) and Shine (1984); the latter being her last international album. In 1996,
Lyngstad recorded her final album in Swedish, Djupa andetag(Deep
Breaths), released by Anderson
Records, before retiring from music.
In April
1964, Anni-Frid married Ragnar Fredriksson, with whom she had two children;
they divorced in 1970. The following year she was engaged to Swedish pianist Benny Andersson, also a
member of ABBA, until they married in 1978. The couple separated in 1980 and
divorced in 1981. In 1992, Lyngstad married Prince Heinrich Ruzzo Reuss, Count of Plauen, who was a
prince of the former sovereign House of Reuss; since
then she has held the titles of Princess Reuss and Countess of Plauen with the style of Her
Serene Highness. Heinrich Ruzzo died of lymphoma in October 1999, leaving
her the titles of Dowager Princess and Countess. She currently
resides in Genolier VD, Switzerland,
sharing a home with her British partner, Henry Smith, 5th Viscount Hambleden.
I can see that it won't be long
You grow cold when you keep holding on
You know you've changed and your words, they
lie
That's something you can't deny
I call, you're not at home
You're home, but you're not alone
If you wanna leave then why don't you say it
Your love has gone anyway
I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
Won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on
I know a good thing must come to an end
But it's hard to take losing a friend
I know what you think and what's in your mind
So darling, look, why pretend
I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
It won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
It won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on
I know there's something
I know there's something
I know there's something
I know there's something
I know there's something
I know there's something
(I know there's something).
