Frida - Come To Me (I Am Woman) live - Platengala 1984 • TopPop

Princess Anni-Frid, Dowager Countess of Plauen (née Lyngstad; born 15 November 1945), better known by her nickname Frida, is a Norwegian-Swedish singer, songwriter and environmentalist. She is best known as one of the founding members and lead singers of the Swedish pop band ABBA. Frida recorded two albums after ABBA split up in the early 1980’s: ’Something’s Going On’ in 1982 and ’Shine’ in 1984. ’Shine’ features songwriting contributions from musicians such as Stuart Adamson, Kirsty MacColl, Simon Climie (of Climie Fisher fame), and Pete Glenister – Alison Moyet’s co-writer and producer. The Shine album is also unique as it saw the debut of Lyngstad as a songwriter in both “Don’t Do It“ and “That’s Tough“, the latter also features her son Hans Fredriksson as co-writer. (Frida also wrote “I Don’t Wanna Be Alone“ during this period). The track “Slowly“ was written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA. This is the last commercially released song written by the ABBA composers to be recorded by either of ABBA’s female vocalists to date. The lead single from the album was the title track, “Shine“. In some countries “Twist in the Dark“, “Come to Me (I Am Woman)“ and “Heart of the Country“ were released as singles. Shine reached the Top 10 on the album charts in Sweden, Norway and Belgium, and the Top 20 in the Netherlands. This is a live recording of Frida’s performance at the Platengala 1984 in the Netherlands, October 1984. ’Come To Me (I Am Woman) was written by “ (Eddie Howell and David Dundas) Watch our great music videos ❯ More TopPop?
