I was at this concert! My dad was the chief information officer at the UN for 40 years and got me and my brother in, including behind the scenes. I believe this was the first public performance of ABBA ever in America.
This is by far my favorite ABBA song; the chorus gets me every time, and I have to start dancing at the piano part at the end every single time I hear it. This band was/is truly phenomenal. I wish I had gone to their live concerts but I wasn’t born yet. 😔🎤😆
I watched this concert in 1979 when i was 13 years old and i bought the record.At that time i spoke no word in English.I can not believe 40 years have passed since then.Greetings from Argentina.
Indeed. We are all like flowers: when we are young, we are beautiful and fresh, like flowers that have just bloomed…. but when we get over one point of age, we deteriorate… and just like flowers, we wither away…
For nearly everybody in the audience here, in Jan., '79, this would have been the very first time that they heard 'Chiquitita', considering that it was still to be released commercially. But you see them clapping along to the song. Looking carefully at the individuals in the audience, some appear to be in their 60s and 70s. It's amazing to think that maybe one or two of them had lived through the era of Charlie Chaplin and Prohibition in the 20s and Laurel & Hardy and the Great Depression in the 30s and here they are now witnessing Abba live!
Pete: even now, I would imagine that this televisual event, if it was shown in its entirety again today, on any main or national TV channel in most civilised countries, say at 9pm on a Saturday night, would still draw a great viewership. It's a sincere performance to just entertain and to be entertained; the show has a multitude of contemporary talented stars. Nobody is trying to act the big-shot or be 'on message'. There are no crazy camera movements nor aggravating constant flickering screens (which today is cover for mediocrity). Everybody knows this event was for a good cause. It was a great promotion for America and American popular culture when the show was, I believe, exported for broadcast around various countries in 1979, the year of the child. The Marxists must have been a tad envious - and a tad curious too. I don't mind Abba not singing live here. I don't think their performance here was live. English was not their first language.
my friend everything was LIVE, we spent 3 day sound checking, I had coffee with ABBA, they all spoke English there was a buffet set up we all ate together... it was broadcast on TV on NBC, i have a VHS...
My favourite group is the Beatles. However, this was the first time ever that I saw ABBA live on TV. Since then, they have become my second favourite group of all time.
¡¡Cómo los AMO!! 😍 Me duele no haber nacido en esos tiempos de su época dorada y cerca de ellos para haberlos conocido y disfrutado de su música en vivo. 😭😭🤧 Me toca conformarme con sus videos y espero poder asistir a una de las presentaciones con IA en ABBA Voyage.
Impressionante : a voz da Frida encaixa-se com perfeição na voz da Agnetha e vice versa! Essa sincronia é "saborosa" de ser ouvir! De fato, é uma sensação que mexe com todos os "sentidos"! A muito tempo que procuro uma explicação para o que sinto ao ouvi-las! É exatamente isso: "sinestesia"!
1:09 Frida looks on in admiration and love of Agnetha's otherworldly beautiful voice. And Frida also had one of her own. Agnetha's live voice, both of them really - were pretty much pure and seemingly flawless. So much so that i'd maybe think this was not live, but with that entire orchestra and thier immense natural gifts, i think it is live, but then again - maybe not , maybe so - so hard to say .
LastOfTheMaguas, The back up tracks are mixed with live feed from the girls mics. Its live lead vocals, just watch how the girls keep the mics at a distance from their mouths to avoid feedback from the sound system.
Recuerdo este concierto (tve).Fue la primera vez que escuchaba Chiquitita.Probablemente mi canción favorita de mi grupo preferido. Inolvidables,maravillosos,ellas sublimes..
Um vocal feito apenas por duas vozes que preenchem os ouvidos e faz o cérebro trabalhar com tantos tons diferentes. O ABBA foi brilhante e tão fantástico que perturbou muitos com tamanha capacidade de cantar. Eu queria poder expressar em palavras o que de fato sinto sobre o ABBA.... Esse grupo encantou o mundo e ainda encanta as novas gerações....
El 9 de enero de 1979 fue presentada por primera vez en público esta extraordinaria canción, cuyas regalías fueron donadas para la UNICEF; en primer termino la maravillosa voz de Agnetha, acompañada de Anni Frida. Hace 40años y la canción sigue presente en la memoria de millones de fans de ABBA ¡FELICIDADES CHIQUITITA!
Jorge Ortega 9 de Enero,una fecha interesante;es la fecha de nacimiento de Joan Báez,cantante folk de los'60.Qué bien habría estado en dicho concierto.
ABBA, VIA LÁCTEA DO MEU CÉU. AGNETHA, ESTRELA IMORTAL DOS MEUS SONHOS. LEMBRANÇA PERENE, AGREGANDO PEDAÇOS DE EMOÇÃO PERDIDOS NO TEMPO. TEMPO DISSIPADO NO TEMPO SAUDADE INFINITA...
Chiquitita, bellísima canción Una melodía que nace de la introducción de Björn en guitarra, crece de maravilla en el piano de Benny y cobra toda la fuerza con la voz líder de Agnetha, armonizada de excelencia por Frida Exito de fines de los 70 en especial en el mercado hispanoamericano P2 en Inglaterra Nota: es inico de Enero 79 hacia dos semanas de la separación de Agnetha y Björn (última composición en pareja y primer interpretación separados)
aaaa que bonitos sonidos de estos 4 personajes fueron la inspiracion de mi niñes en pleno camino a cambios pero siempre se quedo en mi corazon a cada vez que podia escuchar esta bella melodia no me cansaba dia con dia era tratar de entender el buen mensaje de la letra.Año 1980 fue el principio de viaje junto con el grupo abba gracias por esta musica que no pasara demoda por el buen mensaje
Ten days before the concert i had turned 13 years.At that time English was a tongue i longed to learn.41 years i can exchange ideas with many people 'round the globe.I don't know their faces, though.It's beautiful to understand what their songs express.
+Jim Harris yes she is amazing ...thanks...but at the same time Agnetha is in a class all by herself. Watch ABBA the Movie....she is a goddess....and she is so humble....the best ever...
Agnetha's beauty is enhanced by many things. She has an aura of charm that is sweet, graceful, and sexy at the same time. And with that pristine voice and golden hair, anyone can be enchanted by her really. She has a presence that is rather addictive. True class.
Yes chiquitita song I remember it when I was younger and I watched full show regarding to UNICEF 1979 I can't Express in my word that what was my feelings at that time perhaps i can bring to back that time which is impossible but in my heart that love once again became alive my wishes once again turns into hope to meet the gorgeous singer and say I love you since 1979 at that time my wish was to get her for ever and claim that she is my own so stars shining at sky which is not in approach there is no limit to see dream might may be true May you live long love you where ever you are Inam Khan (Patan) From Pakistan KPK province
Oh wow just found this. Thanks so much for posting. I remember watching it on TV, but totally forgot that Gilda (may she rest in peace) introduced them. How wonderfully hilarious that she intentionally mispronounces their full names (Goran Bror Benny Andersson, Bjorn Christian Ulvaeus, etc.) to wonderful comedic effect. I'm sure ABBA loved it. Back then, I never missed an ABBA TV appearance, as rare as that was in the US.
АББА моя молодость. Господи боже мой, 47 лет прошло, но АББА-любовь на всю жизнь, просто Класс! Любим! Помним! Скучаем! 2024. НА Агнету похожа моя первая любовь Ирина Иванова.❤❤❤❤❤
when i was a child I always thought when I grow up I will marry a woman like Anna (Agnetha) and now more than 30 years later I realized that you cant always get what you want :( Beautiful song .....beautiful words....
Завжди чекаю моменту, коли зазвучить Фріда. Це момент фірмового звуку АВВА, наповненого енергією меццо великої Співачки Фріди, яка ніби завжди в тіні, але енергетично вона завжди наповнює пісні оптимізмом і життям
This was at the height of their career. Unfortunately, everything changed in the following years. I was only 17 then, but, I remember hearing them on the radio throughout the 70s, then in clubs. I wasn't sure if they were Spanish at first, with songs like Chiquita and Fernando, but, I liked their sound, and catchy music. Lay All Your Love On Me ua-cam.com/video/Ln-Ua2teJKw/v-deo.html became very popular in clubs, and that's when I became hooked on ABBA. Now they are part of history, and very much loved for their wonderful music. Happy to see them still healthy and looking well.
★ Best Wishes to Agnetha Fältskog on Your Happy Birthday !! Wish You and Your Family Have A Incomparable, The Most Splendid and Beautiful, Be Full of Love and Fascinating with Blessed Special Happy Day !!🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂
Although after 1979 ABBA started to decline in the music charts, they actually wrote some of their best and most unique songs in the early 1980s when they were about to disband. “The Visitors”, their last album, contains exceedingly beautiful and great compositions like “One of Us”, “Head Over Heels”, and “Two For The Price of One.” Then songs like “I Am The City” and the unreleased “Just Like That” were written too in the 80s. Many people overlook the fact that their best material came at the end of their careers.
Also did you know that ABBA for 35 years shared their royalty fees (50/50) with UNICEF? Over 4 million dollars to help children around the world. 3 years ago the songwriters gave away 100 % of the royalties: “So that is why, from now on and into the future, 100 % of the royalties to Chiquitita will go to help towards the promotion of rights for girls. Chiquitita means ‘little girl’ and we must never abandon the little girls,” Björn concluded. I hope this inspires other artists to do the same.
This song has an effect on me like no other song from when it was released and still to this day So its not only never aged it even still has the exactly the same effect on me to this day how is that That just shows how magical this song is incredible
a wonderful song, but also the beginning of ABBA‘s end. this was their first public appearance after the break-up between Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus on Christmas 1978.
con este trabajo para unicef los conocí.... recuerdo VIVO de mi adolescencia, tenía 13 años. en S.S.de Jujuy.... GRACIAS MOZPIANO por el video y su calidad !!!
চিকুটিটা সত্যি করে বল, তুমি আর আমি কাঁদি......... Lyrics: Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes, there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, tell me the truth I'm a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on You were always sure of yourself Now I see you've broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita So the walls came tumbling down And your love's a blown-out candle All is gone and it seems too hard to handle Chiquitita, tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita চিকিটিটা, কি হয়েছে বলো তুমি তোমার নিজের দুঃখে আচ্ছন্ন তোমার চোখে আগামীকালের কোনো আশা নেই তোমাকে এভাবে দেখে আমার কেমন ঘৃণা হয় এটা অস্বীকার করার কোন উপায় নেই আমি দেখতে পাচ্ছি যে আপনি ওহ খুব দুঃখিত, এত শান্ত চিকিটিটা, সত্যি করে বল আমি একটি কাঁধ আপনি কাঁদতে পারেন আপনার সেরা বন্ধু, আমি একজন যার উপর আপনাকে নির্ভর করতে হবে আপনি সবসময় নিজের সম্পর্কে নিশ্চিত ছিলেন এখন দেখছি তুমি একটা পালক ভেঙ্গেছ আমি আশা করি আমরা একসাথে এটি প্যাঁচ করতে পারি চিকিটিটা, তুমি আর আমি জানি কিভাবে হৃদয় ব্যথা আসে এবং তারা যায় এবং দাগ তারা রেখে যাচ্ছে আপনি আবার নাচবেন এবং ব্যথা শেষ হবে আপনার শোক করার সময় থাকবে না চিকুটিটা, তুমি আর আমি কাঁদি কিন্তু সূর্য এখনও আকাশে এবং আপনার উপরে জ্বলজ্বল করছে আমাকে তুমি আগের মত করে গান গাইতে দাও একটি নতুন গান গাও, চিকুইটিটা আপনি আগের মত আরো একবার চেষ্টা করুন একটি নতুন গান গাও, চিকুইটিটা তাই দেয়াল ধ্বসে পড়ল এবং আপনার ভালবাসা একটি প্রস্ফুটিত মোমবাতি সব চলে গেছে এবং এটি পরিচালনা করা খুব কঠিন বলে মনে হচ্ছে চিকিটিটা, সত্যি করে বল এটা অস্বীকার করার কোন উপায় নেই আমি দেখতে পাচ্ছি যে আপনি খুব দুঃখিত, এত শান্ত চিকিটিটা, তুমি আর আমি জানি কিভাবে হৃদয় ব্যথা আসে এবং তারা যায় এবং দাগ তারা রেখে যাচ্ছে আপনি আবার নাচবেন এবং ব্যথা শেষ হবে আপনার শোক করার সময় থাকবে না চিকুটিটা, তুমি আর আমি কাঁদি কিন্তু সূর্য এখনও আকাশে এবং আপনার উপরে জ্বলজ্বল করছে আমাকে তুমি আগের মত করে গান গাইতে দাও একটি নতুন গান গাও, চিকুইটিটা আপনি আগের মত আরো একবার চেষ্টা করুন একটি নতুন গান গাও, চিকুইটিটা আপনি আগের মত আরো একবার চেষ্টা করুন একটি নতুন গান গাও, চিকুইটিটা
Saul Martinez , isso mesmo! Impressionante : a voz da Frida encaixa-se com perfeição na voz da Agnetha e vice versa! Essa sincronia é "saborosa" de ser ouvir! De fato, é uma sensação que mexe com todos os "sentidos"! A muito tempo que procuro uma explicação para o que sinto ao ouvi-las! É exatamente isso: "sinestesia"!
WOW! Totally and completely 100% live! I can hear them, individually, the back up singers, each instrument, absolutely amazing! I was very young then, I wonder if it was on tv, I'm assuming yes, since that was the Saturday Night Live people on stage too!
Yes, well the fade out should have given it away. But it has the 2 pianos of the recording, Bjorn doesn't have the right guitar for the intro, the backs are those by Agnetha and Frida on the recording which overlap with the mains, and so on. Agnetha is very good at lip-syncing which might mislead. But they were good live. If you want you check out the live concert in 1979 at Wembley where they do this song (though skipping a verse) - as well as several other hits. You can easily find them by searching You Tube for Abba Live. There are several uploads of the same material. Some people even prefer the live version of Chiquitita to the recording.
+ZeroSheFlies Great observation, and I now can hear what you're talking about. My all time favorite live is still the 1976 movie live in Australia! Although I was only 8yrs old back then, it was the greatest thing ever! Oh boy do I miss the old days, America was do much better back then!

Muchas gracias por toda la muy buena información Chiquitita es una canción bellísima, está en mi Top Five de las interpretadas por la voz líder de Agnetha
the best live version of that great song,..........and a deep look into the old times, the 70th
That's not a live version. It's the studio version. They made lipsync.
I was at this concert! My dad was the chief information officer at the UN for 40 years and got me and my brother in, including behind the scenes. I believe this was the first public performance of ABBA ever in America.
Yes, their tour began later that year; before the tour they only made personal appearances on TV shows in USA before that time
@timpren - I think you are one of the luckiest person on the earth to be present in this concert of this ABBA group at UNICEF(1979).
@@shankarghose1357 I think too👍
Gornjeseecis 3:09 3:19
I'm
Es espectacular.Que actuacion, y que escenario.Emocionante de verdad.
I saw ABBA live in September, 1979 in Chicago. Both girls had cut their hair. The concert was incredible. They sound so good live!
LUCKY GUY!!!I TOTALLY ENVY YOU!!!
It would be interesting to compare what you saw with the ABBA show in London.
This is by far my favorite ABBA song; the chorus gets me every time, and I have to start dancing at the piano part at the end every single time I hear it. This band was/is truly phenomenal. I wish I had gone to their live concerts but I wasn’t born yet. 😔🎤😆
Your going to see in the abba arena and a separate sea t for you enjoy the show
I’m 16 and I’ve made a beautiful cover of Chiquitita with an entertaining video!
I’m sure you will like it!

My God , Agnetha never looked more beautiful. Truly an angel on earth.
Indeed.
We are all like flowers: when we are young, we are beautiful and fresh, like flowers that have just bloomed…. but when we get over one point of age, we deteriorate… and just like flowers, we wither away…
Yes,she is stunning in that black dress & the black around her throat.
Yes, all black suits her with the long blond hair.
El mejor concierto que se halla realizado en la vida,,Unicef 1979

@Dustshoe I was the lighting director for this show, They were diplomats from all over the world and their families, trust me they knew ABBA
that must have been awesome to see all of us fans can only wish we had that opportunity
Gary Rand of course the fun part as always were the 3 days of rehearsals...
Pete: even now, I would imagine that this televisual event, if it was shown in its entirety again today, on any main or national TV channel in most civilised countries, say at 9pm on a Saturday night, would still draw a great viewership. It's a sincere performance to just entertain and to be entertained; the show has a multitude of contemporary talented stars. Nobody is trying to act the big-shot or be 'on message'.

I don't mind Abba not singing live here. I don't think their performance here was live. English was not their first language.
my friend everything was LIVE, we spent 3 day sound checking, I had coffee with ABBA, they all spoke English there was a buffet set up we all ate together...
it was broadcast on TV on NBC, i have a VHS...
Non esistono parole terrene per definire queste due voci, bisogna solo godersele il più possibile. Abba fenomeni extraterrestri ❤
Mi sono sempre chiesto per quale motivo non hanno avuto il successo nel tuo paese così come lo hanno avuto nel resto del mondo ...
God I wish people still composed music like this!
Amen and amen. This song grabs my heart and squeezes. No other group song has that effect on me. Touches my soul.
Talent on loan from God is what it is.
Me too! It’s such a pity for the new generations…
Same!! I wish 😫
i love the tone of the ABBA girls tremedous talent and I adore Agnetha
No me queda más que decir Simplemente maravillosa, sublime interpretación, exquisita canción clásica de clásicas 👍👌🎵❤️
Absolutely perfect! One of the best acts ever ...
the audience was really dead, hardly any applause for such a great song
অ্যাবার গাওয়া এমন সুন্দর গানটি আমি প্রথম শুনি ১৯৭৯ সালে দুবাই-তে।১৯৭৯ সালটা ছিল আমার জীবনে ঘটনাবহুল ও স্মৃতিমধুর।
Este es el recuerdo mas dulce, que tengo de mi adolescencia : Abba cantando en la UNICEF.
Don't stop listening to this masterpiece. All money goes to Unicef against child abuse, since 1979 ❤❤
My favourite group is the Beatles. However, this was the first time ever that I saw ABBA live on TV. Since then, they have become my second favourite group of all time.
ABBA`s Has GROWED To N0 1 - Legend`s In The MusicHistory - Their prob. The Biggest in The future
An immortal performance 1st given at UNICEF. I could listen to these two women all day long, they take me to another world.
Me too. They are also VERY EASY on the eyes - SMOKING HOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great voices great música lovely Agnetha yeah
Agnetha and Frida are superb singers in their own right, but only they can compliment each other to create the ABBA sound.
¡¡Cómo los AMO!! 😍
Me duele no haber nacido en esos tiempos de su época dorada y cerca de ellos para haberlos conocido y disfrutado de su música en vivo. 😭😭🤧
Me toca conformarme con sus videos y espero poder asistir a una de las presentaciones con IA en ABBA Voyage.

LastOfTheMaguas,
The back up tracks are mixed with live feed from the girls mics. Its live lead vocals, just watch how the girls keep the mics at a distance from their mouths to avoid feedback from the sound system.
1:09 you can see the respect between them
Who cares. Just enjoy the music and the girls voices!!!
i agree iv,e never seen so many so called music critics we are fortunate to have such a good quality video
are u sure that is live?
Recuerdo este concierto (tve).Fue la primera vez que escuchaba Chiquitita.Probablemente mi canción favorita de mi grupo preferido. Inolvidables,maravillosos,ellas sublimes..

Agnetha is straight from heaven....nobody is more beautiful and talented...
Only Frida can match Anetha xxx
No, when u die, u go straight to Heaven ! 🙏🏻
Frida is straight from heaven as well. Frida is so special. Both girls making the song sound like a heaven.

Chiquitita, bellísima canción
Una melodía que nace de la introducción de Björn en guitarra, crece de maravilla en el piano de Benny y cobra toda la fuerza con la voz líder de Agnetha, armonizada de excelencia por Frida
Exito de fines de los 70 en especial en el mercado hispanoamericano
P2 en Inglaterra
Nota: es inico de Enero 79
hacia dos semanas de la separación de Agnetha y Björn
(última composición en pareja y primer interpretación separados)
"Chiquitita" Mater piece of music all of times. Great Abba !!!!
aaaa que bonitos sonidos de estos 4 personajes fueron la inspiracion de mi niñes en pleno camino a cambios pero siempre se quedo en mi corazon a cada vez que podia escuchar esta bella melodia no me cansaba dia con dia era tratar de entender el buen mensaje de la letra.Año 1980 fue el principio de viaje junto con el grupo abba gracias por esta musica que no pasara demoda por el buen mensaje
My favourite performance of all time. An absolute classic!
European class of abba as a universal gift for everybody
The most beautiful singers to ever grace the stage. Damn, Anna can really belt it!
@Dustshoe I was the lighting director for this show, They were diplomats from all over the world and their families, trust me they knew ABBA
It was good! Because they represented their country. That's how amazing this band was. That's how so amazing their music touched world wide.
At that time Kurt Waldheim was the General Secretary.
For over 35 years the royalties of this song have been donated by ABBA to UNICEF.
u serious? damn
@Eurotrash on Tour
Why not both girls?.
Ten days before the concert i had turned 13 years.At that time English was a tongue i longed to learn.41 years i can exchange ideas with many people 'round the globe.I don't know their faces, though.It's beautiful to understand what their songs express.
@Eurotrash on Tour
Wow; you know my grandfather was fond with blond women but liked Frida.😁😁
@Eurotrash on Tour
Ok; nothing is written about taste.
I remembered watching ABBA sing it in concert on TV
ABBA marcou uma geração e me toca muito agora em 2020.
Please show me someone more beautiful than Agnetha...she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.. .
Absolutely!!!
+John Hynes You might want to look up Mairead Nesbitt of the "Celtic Woman" group. Corn-silk blond pixie fiddler that rocks the house. Enjoy.
+Jim Harris yes she is amazing ...thanks...but at the same time Agnetha is in a class all by herself. Watch ABBA the Movie....she is a goddess....and she is so humble....the best ever...
In the 70s there were lot of gorgeous women: Barbara Bach, Farrah Fawcett, Olivia Newton John,
Agnetha's beauty is enhanced by many things. She has an aura of charm that is sweet, graceful, and sexy at the same time. And with that pristine voice and golden hair, anyone can be enchanted by her really. She has a presence that is rather addictive. True class.
Excuse me! Feeling slightly down + listen to Abba then all of a sudden the world's ok for a few minutes?♥️♥️
Люблю их. И мне всласть поговорить о них.
Это взрыв. Это,просто ,чудо.
I never really thought that have transmitted lots of # 1 joyful songs around the world would be harmful to the relationship of this wonderful quartet.
Duas vozes lindíssimas, cantam com ternura e meiguice
Que saudades, desse grupo (ABBA,).
SENCACIONAL.
Yes chiquitita song I remember it when I was younger and I watched full show regarding to UNICEF 1979 I can't Express in my word that what was my feelings at that time perhaps i can bring to back that time which is impossible but in my heart that love once again became alive my wishes once again turns into hope to meet the gorgeous singer and say I love you since 1979 at that time my wish was to get her for ever and claim that she is my own so stars shining at sky which is not in approach there is no limit to see dream might may be true
May you live long love you where ever you are

El mejor momento de ABBA con una Agnetha a la que solo le faltaron las alas de angel.
Oh wow just found this. Thanks so much for posting. I remember watching it on TV, but totally forgot that Gilda (may she rest in peace) introduced them. How wonderfully hilarious that she intentionally mispronounces their full names (Goran Bror Benny Andersson, Bjorn Christian Ulvaeus, etc.) to wonderful comedic effect. I'm sure ABBA loved it. Back then, I never missed an ABBA TV appearance, as rare as that was in the US.
Gilda was on SNL in 1975 when ABBA was musical guest and were made fun of in subtitles under performance...was always upset how SNL treated ABBA
АББА моя молодость. Господи боже мой, 47 лет прошло, но АББА-любовь на всю жизнь, просто Класс! Любим! Помним! Скучаем! 2024. НА Агнету похожа моя первая любовь Ирина Иванова.❤❤❤❤❤
Qué bellos recuerdos! eran otras épocas, hoy ya no hay música como la de aquellos años...
Gilda Radner💔 introducing ABBA... I couldn't have chosen a better time to grow up.
How Lucky you would have been if you have seen them playing live!
when i was a child I always thought when I grow up I will marry a woman like Anna (Agnetha) and now more than 30 years later I realized that you cant always get what you want :(
Beautiful song .....beautiful words....
I will give up everything I have to go back in time just for one day.
Que lindo recuerdo. Pude ver ese recital en directo por TV. Eramos chicos y entusiastas.
Belíssima essa apresentação do Abba.
Завжди чекаю моменту, коли зазвучить Фріда. Це момент фірмового звуку АВВА, наповненого енергією меццо великої Співачки Фріди, яка ніби завжди в тіні, але енергетично вона завжди наповнює пісні оптимізмом і життям
Escuchándola en el 2018. Sigue siendo mi canción favorita.
I cannot get enough of this beautiful song and it brings me to tears everytime! I love it.
tremendo!!!! pensar q lo vi en blanco y negro en ese mismo año.....todo un acontecimiento fue ...
This was at the height of their career. Unfortunately, everything changed in the following years. I was only 17 then, but, I remember hearing them on the radio throughout the 70s, then in clubs. I wasn't sure if they were Spanish at first, with songs like Chiquita and Fernando, but, I liked their sound, and catchy music. Lay All Your Love On Me ua-cam.com/video/Ln-Ua2teJKw/v-deo.html became very popular in clubs, and that's when I became hooked on ABBA. Now they are part of history, and very much loved for their wonderful music. Happy to see them still healthy and looking well.
Классная песня на Все Времена ✌🏼🎸✌🏼
Great band produced great music, I watched the concert in 1979, I was 18 then
Que mujer tan bella... Se parece a Anna kournikova
Do you know that almost 13 centuries ago many Scandinavians settled in what today is Russia.Even the name comes after the Rus, scandinavian people.
Yes I know the varegos

Yes!!!.
Какая же красивая Агнетта. И песня шедевр
Momento en que el mundo se hizo un solo amor sublimes
Grande!!!!bellissima nel tempo
★ Best Wishes to Agnetha Fältskog on Your Happy Birthday !!
Wish You and Your Family Have A Incomparable, The Most Splendid and Beautiful, Be Full of Love and Fascinating with Blessed Special Happy Day !!🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂🎂🙂
What would it have felt like to be there? The public will have imagined that such beauty would become a hymn?
Brilliant, beauty best ❤❤❤❤
merçi ABBA , vous nous manquez beaucoup
Although after 1979 ABBA started to decline in the music charts, they actually wrote some of their best and most unique songs in the early 1980s when they were about to disband. “The Visitors”, their last album, contains exceedingly beautiful and great compositions like “One of Us”, “Head Over Heels”, and “Two For The Price of One.” Then songs like “I Am The City” and the unreleased “Just Like That” were written too in the 80s. Many people overlook the fact that their best material came at the end of their careers.
ABBA, I love you

Also did you know that ABBA for 35 years shared their royalty fees (50/50) with UNICEF? Over 4 million dollars to help children around the world. 3 years ago the songwriters gave away 100 % of the royalties: “So that is why, from now on and into the future, 100 % of the royalties to Chiquitita will go to help towards the promotion of rights for girls. Chiquitita means ‘little girl’ and we must never abandon the little girls,” Björn concluded. I hope this inspires other artists to do the same.
Spectacular😱😱😱😱. Wish I was there.
In all courteousness, for UNICEF, sweetly Excellent. :D Thx! :D - The Bellamys
Doesn't get any better than that, does it?🤩♥️♥️👍
This song has an effect on me like no other song from when it was released and still to this day
So its not only never aged it even still has the exactly the same effect on me to this day how is that
That just shows how magical this song is incredible
the group pop number one in the world ....
That was cool that the blond signed an autograph on stage
@@MarioDruet donna summer was a fan! lol
ABBA ngelet nje mrekulli!
As melhores das melhores 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😍🤩👍🏼
Realmente é maravilhoso
a wonderful song, but also the beginning of ABBA‘s end. this was their first public appearance after the break-up between Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus on Christmas 1978.
Music from heaven! 🙏
Mi infancia en una sola canción.... Que recuerdos....!!!!!

চিকুটিটা সত্যি করে বল, তুমি আর আমি কাঁদি.........
Lyrics:
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes, there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown-out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
চিকিটিটা, কি হয়েছে বলো
তুমি তোমার নিজের দুঃখে আচ্ছন্ন
তোমার চোখে আগামীকালের কোনো আশা নেই
তোমাকে এভাবে দেখে আমার কেমন ঘৃণা হয়
এটা অস্বীকার করার কোন উপায় নেই
আমি দেখতে পাচ্ছি যে আপনি ওহ খুব দুঃখিত, এত শান্ত
চিকিটিটা, সত্যি করে বল
আমি একটি কাঁধ আপনি কাঁদতে পারেন
আপনার সেরা বন্ধু, আমি একজন যার উপর আপনাকে নির্ভর করতে হবে
আপনি সবসময় নিজের সম্পর্কে নিশ্চিত ছিলেন
এখন দেখছি তুমি একটা পালক ভেঙ্গেছ
আমি আশা করি আমরা একসাথে এটি প্যাঁচ করতে পারি
চিকিটিটা, তুমি আর আমি জানি
কিভাবে হৃদয় ব্যথা আসে এবং তারা যায় এবং দাগ তারা রেখে যাচ্ছে
আপনি আবার নাচবেন এবং ব্যথা শেষ হবে
আপনার শোক করার সময় থাকবে না
চিকুটিটা, তুমি আর আমি কাঁদি
কিন্তু সূর্য এখনও আকাশে এবং আপনার উপরে জ্বলজ্বল করছে
আমাকে তুমি আগের মত করে গান গাইতে দাও
একটি নতুন গান গাও, চিকুইটিটা
আপনি আগের মত আরো একবার চেষ্টা করুন
একটি নতুন গান গাও, চিকুইটিটা
তাই দেয়াল ধ্বসে পড়ল
এবং আপনার ভালবাসা একটি প্রস্ফুটিত মোমবাতি
সব চলে গেছে এবং এটি পরিচালনা করা খুব কঠিন বলে মনে হচ্ছে
চিকিটিটা, সত্যি করে বল
এটা অস্বীকার করার কোন উপায় নেই
আমি দেখতে পাচ্ছি যে আপনি খুব দুঃখিত, এত শান্ত
চিকিটিটা, তুমি আর আমি জানি
কিভাবে হৃদয় ব্যথা আসে এবং তারা যায় এবং দাগ তারা রেখে যাচ্ছে
আপনি আবার নাচবেন এবং ব্যথা শেষ হবে
আপনার শোক করার সময় থাকবে না
চিকুটিটা, তুমি আর আমি কাঁদি
কিন্তু সূর্য এখনও আকাশে এবং আপনার উপরে জ্বলজ্বল করছে
আমাকে তুমি আগের মত করে গান গাইতে দাও
একটি নতুন গান গাও, চিকুইটিটা
আপনি আগের মত আরো একবার চেষ্টা করুন
একটি নতুন গান গাও, চিকুইটিটা
আপনি আগের মত আরো একবার চেষ্টা করুন
একটি নতুন গান গাও, চিকুইটিটা
They are four geniuses..♥♥♥♥

BONÍTA CANNSÍON ! IMPOSIBLE. NO LLORAR GRACÍAS POR EL VÍDEO !!AUDÍO....EN. ALTA CALÍDAD GRCÍAS POR COMPATIR
Saul Martinez , isso mesmo!
Impressionante : a voz da Frida encaixa-se com perfeição na voz da Agnetha e vice versa! Essa sincronia é "saborosa" de ser ouvir! De fato, é uma sensação que mexe com todos os "sentidos"! A muito tempo que procuro uma explicação para o que sinto ao ouvi-las! É exatamente isso: "sinestesia"!
WOW! Totally and completely 100% live! I can hear them, individually, the back up singers, each instrument, absolutely amazing! I was very young then, I wonder if it was on tv, I'm assuming yes, since that was the Saturday Night Live people on stage too!
+Richard Dewey No its playback (lip syncing).
+ZeroSheFlies That's too bad, I really thought it sounded live. Oh well, those were the days anyhow.
Yes, well the fade out should have given it away. But it has the 2 pianos of the recording, Bjorn doesn't have the right guitar for the intro, the backs are those by Agnetha and Frida on the recording which overlap with the mains, and so on.
Agnetha is very good at lip-syncing which might mislead.
But they were good live. If you want you check out the live concert in 1979 at Wembley where they do this song (though skipping a verse) - as well as several other hits.
You can easily find them by searching You Tube for Abba Live. There are several uploads of the same material.
Some people even prefer the live version of Chiquitita to the recording.
+ZeroSheFlies Great observation, and I now can hear what you're talking about. My all time favorite live is still the 1976 movie live in Australia! Although I was only 8yrs old back then, it was the greatest thing ever! Oh boy do I miss the old days, America was do much better back then!
Live in Australia is very good and the live sweden '81 Dick Cavett is also real live
Дякую!!!
Impresionante ¡¡¡¡¡
Agnetha so beautiful and Frida so hot. Love ABBA
wspaniała piosenka 😊🙋💏💑👪👍👍👍💖kocham wszystkich ludzi 👱❤💖
Frida is even more beautiful.
