First, their band was called Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid. Anni-Frid, better known as Frida, became Benny's wife in October 1978. In some time they became not only the members of one band, but spouses - Agnetha and Björn were married in July 1971.
In 1969 two women appeared in their lives: Agnetha Fältskog, a solo singer, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. At that time they had already been successful musicians: Björn was a member of the Hootenanny Singers, and Benny played keyboards in The Hep Stars. ABBA appeared in June 1966 shortly after Björn Ulvaeus met Benny Andersson at a party.
