Ritchie Blackmore: Abba’s Biggest Fan!?!

Ritchie Blackmore has done more in his lifetime than most will achieve in two. Deep Purple, Rainbow, a successful solo career, so when a man who is seen as a legend in the business and a guitar hero to most finally names his favorite band, as you’d expect, the rock world sits up and listens. But who would it be? Hendrix? Led Zeppelin? Huey Lewis and The News? No, none of those - though Huey Lewis and the News would’ve been a close guess - as it seems that Ritchie Blackmore’s favorite group ever none other than those Swedish Pop Sensations, Abba.
