Their best selling song, fantastic stuff. I don't know if that band ripped ABBA off but it wouldn't be the first time lol, they have been a huge influence on the music scene

I don’t think this is their best song but it was a really huge hit almost all over the world.

so happy to see you again with ABBA songs "Fernando" (1976) is a soft ballad, so nice and beautiful The best is the beauty of their vocal harmonies, very soft at the whisper level but at a level of perfection, that explodes in a magic chorus I have compared it to "Chiquitita" (1979) because both songs have similarities and contrasts Both have the title in Spanish, and was recorded in spanish too (to the album in spanish "Gracias por la Música" In 1980) Both are pop ballads with an initial verse sung alone and from the second chorus in duet, with a very catchy and popular chorus (in my country Argentina are songs that we would sing in a circle of friends, because we all know their lyrics) The two videos show the contrast of fire and snow, night and day They were both very most worldwide successful, only behind "Dancing Queen" ABBA had already recorded "Dancing Queen" and it came from the success of "Mamma Mía" It was the manager who convinced them to record "Fernando" so as not to repeat the style (Frida had done it before in 1975 on her solo album in Swedish and it was a success, but with lyrics of a lovesong, and these to ABBA is a friendship story about mexican soldiers) The manager was right and everything was a success, one after another in that year 1976, with three singles #1 consecutives in UK Mamma Mía (2 weeks) Fernando (4 weeks) Dancing Queen (6 weeks) In addition, this variety of options had different results in each country. "Fernando" was a colossal success in Australia (14 weeks at #1 surpassed the "Hey Jude" mark) and 7 weeks at #1 in Germany "Dancing Queen" was 14 weeks #1 in Sweden and 6 weeks #1 in the U.K.and 8 weeks #1 in Australia Both were #1 in the U.S. but in various rankings: "Dancing Queen" on the Billboard and "Fernando" on Adult Contemporary The official video of "Fernando" was filmed in February 1976, with Dancing Queen the next day in these Official Video you could see: Bjorn & Benny, both in guitars Frida & Agnetha confronted both in frontal and profile images (repeating "Mamma Mia" technique used) premiering her gypsy style dress and a last comparation "Fernando" (1976) is first ABBA single with Frida in lead voice, and recorded in her solo album in Swedish (released before ABBA) as "S.O.S." (1975) is first ABBA single with Agnetha in lead voice, and recorded in her solo album in Swedish (released after ABBA) Thanks so much for these video and reaction I wish you a great weekend See you in the next My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

Fernando is another big hit of them! For same fans, the spanish version is even better... Nice to see you again with more ABBA 😃. See you next time ✌️. Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍

That was a good spot, if it wasn't sampled it was definitely ripped. Thanks for the upload and the wonderful ABBA

Great song great reaction. This was written specially for Anni-Frid aka Frida the red headed girl. She did a fantastic solo album in her native Swedish called "Frida Ensam" (Frida Alone) she did this with just her vocals and it was a big hit all over Europe. So technically this is a remake. Thanks and take care

Fernando spent fifteen weeks at number one and spent 27 weeks on the australian top 20 charts in 1976

Time to check out: Frida "I know theres something going on" in her solo

The have to much best songs. All completey different. Don't think there is no other band so versatile

Frida was stunning in this video.

You are tripping 😂

Thx, yes, but there were worse things like almost plagiarism in 1983 the band Journey with "their" song Faithfully , The piano melody is very similar to "The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA 1980.

Must you talk while a gifted artist is performing

You may or may not be tripping, but you are digressing.
