Abba - The history of the Swedish Band
All four band members were from an early age involved in music, they also were married couples but they persued initially their own music careers.
In April 1970 all four of them went on holiday together to the island of Cyprus. They sang for fun on the beach and finally ended up giving an improvised live performance for the United Nations soldiers stationed in Cyprus. This was the future ABBA members first performance together, even thouhg the band Abba did not exist then yet.
The name ABBA was coined much later. According to Wickipedia this is the story how the name was coined:
"ABBA" is an acronym formed from the first letters of each group member's name: Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid (Frida). The first 'B' in the logo version of the name was reversed on the band's promotional material from 1976 onwards and became the group's registered trademark. The first time the name is found written on paper is on a recording session sheet from the Metronome Studio in Stockholm, dated October 16, 1973. It was first written as "Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida", but was subsequently crossed out with "ABBA" written in large letters on top.
