How The Greatest Song 'Dancing Queen' Was Made
In this rare behind-the-scenes footage from 1975, the members of ABBA are seen in the studio, huddled around as they experiment with the now-iconic melody of “Dancing Queen.” Benny gently plays different chord progressions while Björn scribbles lyrical ideas, and Agnetha and Frida hum along, searching for the perfect vocal harmony. The energy is electric yet focused, capturing the magic of a timeless hit being born right in front of our eyes.
