Agnetha Fältskog was a singer with the Swedish band ABBA, famous for hits like "Mamma Mia." In 1969, Fältskog became engaged to Björn Ulvaeus. At the time of their engagement, Ulvaeus was working with a songwriter named Benny Andersson. Andersson was engaged to an Anni-Frid Lyngstad, who, much like Fältskog, was becoming an increasingly popular singer in Sweden.
The two women sang back-up vocals for their fiancés and performed with them at small concerts. In time, these two couples used the first letters of their first names -- Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid -- to form the name of their musical group, ABBA.
In 1976, Fältskog posed for Sweden's POSTER Magazine (issue 2 1976). She shared the photoshoot with a row of dolls and a massive paddle-shaped lollipop.
