Agneta Åse Fältskog (born April 5, 1950) is a Swedish singer, songwriter, and a former member of the pop group ABBA. She first achieved success in Sweden with the release of her 1968 self-titled debut album. She rose to international stardom in the 1970s as a member of ABBA, which is one of the best-selling music acts in history.
In 1969, Agnetha Fältskog was beginning to rise as a prominent pop singer in Sweden. At just 19 years old, she had already made a name for herself with her debut single “Jag var så kär” (“I Was So in Love”) in 1967, which became a big hit in Sweden.
By 1969, she had released multiple successful singles and was known for her clear, emotional voice and striking appearance—long blonde hair, fresh-faced look, and a 1960s pop style. Musically, she was still a solo artist and had not yet joined ABBA (which wouldn't form officially until a few years later, in the early 1970s).
In her personal life around that time, she was in a relationship with German songwriter and producer Dieter Zimmermann, who tried to launch her career in Germany—she even recorded a few songs in German.
In 1970, she released “Om tårar vore guld” (“If Tears Were Gold”). The Danish composer Per Hviid claimed that she used 22 bars from his composition “Tema” (“Theme”), although it was written in the 1950s and had never been recorded. The case dragged on until 1977 when a settlement was reached and Fältskog paid the Danish musician SEK 5,000,000.
