Björn Ulvaeus

by Ed Hogan
Guitarist/songwriter Björn Ulvaeus was one half of the production duo that included fellow Swede Benny Andersson who produced the huge hits by '70s supergroup Abba, who is best known for the number one pop single "Dancing Queen."



Björn Christian Ulvaeus was born on April 25, 1945, in Gothenburg and began his performing career in a folk group. Producer Stig Anderson (who would later co-write Abba's "Dancing Queen") discovered them in 1963 and they moved to Stockholm. Anderson dubbed them the Hootenanny Singers and signed him to his label, Polar Records. Ulvaeus' song "Baby Those Are the Rules" was a Swedish Top Ten hit. He met Andersson, who had hits as a member of The Hep Stars, at a party and the two decided to form a writing and producing team.
