She was born on November 15, 1945, in Narvik, Norway, without of all time well-educated her beginner wHO had been a German soldier posted there during the German military control. When her mother died at a cy Young age, Frida was left wing in the care of her gran and they settled outside of Stockholm. It was in that location that cy Young Frida observed her sexual love of euphony and she was shortly playacting at every chance. At the age of 22, she north Korean won a vocal challenger and was offered a recording foreshorten.

For well-nigh a decade, few acts in the cosmos would reach the winner of ABBA and the lot would outlast the marriages of the 2 couples (Frida would be divorced from Andersson in 1981).
