Still unstoppable
dallasvoice.com10-disc ‘ABBA: Album Box Set’ reminds us why the Swedish quartet was — and still is — a dance music sensation GREGG SHAPIRO | Q-MusicGreggShapiro@aol.com Aside from ABBA, can you think of another Swedish quartet with two female (Anni-Frid and Agnetha) and two male (Bjorn and Benny) members, a 50-year history and multiple hit singles, as well as 10-CD and 10-LP box sets?
