ABBA

Voulez Vous (Back To Black Vinyl)

1979’s VOULEZ-VOUZ, the Swedish foursome’s sixth album, was probably their commercial pinnacle, as nearly half of the album’s ten tracks became substantial hits.

The discofied title track, the anthemic “I Have A Dream,” Bjorn Ulvaeus’ vocal showcase “Does Your Mother Know?” and the UNICEF benefit single “Chiquitita” were inescapable on AM radio in the waning days of the ’70s. However, those tracks aren’t the album’s only merits, as the bittersweet “Angeleyes” and the downright spiteful “The King Has Lost His Crown” are among ABBA’s best and most beloved songs.

In 1979, ABBA were the biggest-selling band in popular music. The slick yet substantial VOULEZ-VOUS shows why this position was justified.
