1972-1973

During 1972, the four members of the future ABBA performed together on many recordings where Agnetha and Anni-frid were used as backing vocalists. At the end of 1972 Benny, Bjorn and Stig were approached by the Swedish Broadcasting company to submit an entry in the Eurovision song contest. The song they chose for the 1973 Eurovision contest was Ring, Ring. 1973 was not going to be their year, even though the audience loved Ring, Ring, the judges did not choose it. Stig Anderson believed in this song and he had Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-frid record it in English, Swedish, German and Spanish.

On February 23rd, 1973, Elin Linda Ulvaeus was born. After Linda's birth, Agnetha spent most of the next decade trying to be with her daughter on a full time basis. Although it was difficult for Agnetha to manage two careers, that of mother and singer, time has proven that she did a splendid job.

In 1973, Cupol released her fifth Swedish language album, Agnetha Fältskogs Bästa. It contained a compilation of all of her previous albums.
