Dear,Mr.Ola Brunkert.

I love your technique.

MADRID, Spain (AP) — A former drummer for the Swedish pop band ABBA was found dead with cuts to his neck in the garden of his house on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Police said Monday an autopsy showed it was an accident.
A neighbor found the body of 62-year-old Ola Brunkert on Sunday evening at his house in a coastal area outside the eastern town of Arta, a Civil Guard spokesman told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
He said an autopsy was carried out and confirmed initial investigations. “It was an accident,” he said.
The spokesman said Brunkert hit his head against a glass door in his dining room, shattering the glass and cutting himself in the neck. He managed to wrap a towel around his neck and left the house to seek help, but collapsed in the garden.
Brunkert lived in the coastal apartment complex of Betlem in the municipality of Arta, in the eastern part of Mallorca.
Brunkert had lived in Arta for around 20 years. His wife, Inger. died less than a year ago, an Arta municipal official told the AP. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to discuss the case.
ABBA band member Benny Anderson told Swedish daily Expressen he was sad to hear of the drummer’s death. “It is tragic,” he said.
Band member Bjorn Ulvaeus added that Brunkert had been “one of the best.”
“I remember him as a good friend when we worked together in the mid-1970s. He was a very creative musician who contributed a lot when we toured together and worked in the studio,” Ulvaeus told Expressen.
According to ABBA’s official Web site, Brunkert and bass player Rutger Gunnarsson were the only musicians to appear on all ABBA albums.
Brunkert first played with ABBA on the group’s first single, “People Need Love,” and toured with the band in 1977, 1979 and 1980.
He had been a jazz drummer and a member of the blues band Slim’s Blues Gang, before joining pop group Science Poption in the mid-1960s.
ABBA, with the four regular members Agnetha Faltskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Ulvaeus and Andersson, was one of the world’s most successful bands, with album sales of more than 370 million. The group has not performed together since 1982, but continues to sell nearly 3 million records a year.

Beautiful song…
funny you should say that.
Led Zeppelin was actually the first foreign band to record in ABBAs very own state-of-the-art recording studio!
They spent 2 weeks there in November 1978, recording tracks for their “In through the backdoor” album.
i love it!

ABBA, is God’s (Or whoever is up there) gift to music. Period.
If this is the music they play in Hell, sign me up.
Well don’t generalize. I’m a girl and I must say I personally am dismayed at the way some other girls I know treat their boyfriends. It’s as if they didn’t love them at all? I’ve lost all belief in romance between men and women… I’m more of a girl-lovin’ chick but I find it sad that the opposite sexes are dividing. Dads today have no backbone it is quite pathetic I must say, but women are bitchier now because of the way society evolved in to COMPETING. They are nasty because of competition.

This song is an all-time great. It will be a bookmark to the 70’s for all time.
i’m not much interested in comparing ABBA to the Beatles, and such, but rather, i would say: DAMN, they were GOOD. 10splitter says it RIGHT: “They sing like angels…:)” Good-call, 10splitter!
