‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’ a Round of applause for Stig Anderson
The Driving Force Behind ABBA
Today’s post is just a short one. It is a tip of the hat to Stig Anderson. Mr. Anderson was the man with the vision behind the hit machine known as ABBA. He co-wrote many of their major hits such as
‘Waterloo’
‘Fernando’
For Stig Anderson it did not all begin and end with ABBA. Throughout the ‘60’s and early ‘70s he was among not only Sweden’s most prolific songwriters and producers, he was in the upper echelon of world music production. His name is attached to over 3000 songs.
His level of production is almost unprecedented.
The hard work paid off in the form of incomparable success and accolades that continue to this day.
Think of how many times the music Stig Anderson had a hand in producing has made you smile.
He was born on this day in 1931.
Let the ‘Midnight Special’ shine a light on his memory.
