Happy birthday, Anni-Frid Lyngstad!



Anni-Frid Lyngstad, born November 15, 1945 in Ballangen, Norway, is one-fourth of the Swedish super-group ABBA. She's the only non-Swedish member of the group.  

She had a moderately successful singing career in Sweden, but it wasn't until she joined ABBA that she reached international fame.  She was married to fellow bandmate Benny Andersson for three years.  ABBA went on to sell 150 million albums and singles world-wide.

Her first solo album following the end of ABBA, Something's Going On, was released in 1982 and reached #1 in Sweden, and the single went to #1 in Belgium and Switzerland.  It is one of the best selling solo album of the ABBA members.
