ABBA History – Björn Before ABBA | 60 Years Hootenanny Singers

30 September 1963. Exactly 60 years ago today, a very young Björn Ulvaeus entered the stage with the newly christened Hootenanny Singers. I am thrilled to finally, on this channel, talk about and celebrate the legacy of Björn’s band before ABBA, the Hootenanny Singers. In this episode, we will learn just how important they were for Björn as an artist, individual, and especially for ABBA. 0:00 Intro 1:04 Björn Ulvaeus – Poet & Musician 2:23 Hootenanny & Polar 3:00 Conquering the Nordic Countries 3:35 Musical Development 4:53 The Road to ABBA 7:06 Legacy 9:15 Outro ——— Written, narrated, recorded & edited by Bobby’s Brother.
