In 1971, ABBA sang backing vocals for the singer, who passed away yesterday.
The death of singer Barbro "Lill-Babs" Svensson yesterday is front-page news in Sweden. She made her first record as a 16-year-old back in 1954 and has never quite been out of the spotlight since then: that's 64 years. Sweden's biggest daily, Dagens Nyheter, devoted their entire culture section to her passing today.
Swedish showbusiness being as small as it is, there are many connections between her and ABBA, the most prominent one of course being her 1971 hit single 'Vlkommen till vrlden' ("Welcome To The World", bit.ly/2GW8KVD), which was written by Bjrn and Benny, and also featured backing vocals by all four future ABBA members. ABBA manager Stig Anderson wrote her 1959 novelty mega-hit, 'r du kr i mig nnu, Klas-Gran’ ("Are You Still In Love With Me, Klas-Gran", bit.ly/2IqC7fx), which also laid the foundation for his own music business empire.
/Carl Magnus Palm/

Gemini
During 1985 Bjrn and Benny recorded a new pop album with the brother-&-sister group "Gemini". The both singers had participated in the "Chess"-project and both were close friends to the ABBA family.
The album called simply "Gemini" included 6 songs written by Bjrn and Benny. Two of them were well-known compositions: "Just Like That" (recorded by ABBA in 1982 and never released) and "Slowly" (recorded in 1984 by Frida and released on her album "Shine"). The album was recorded at Polar Music Studios in Stockholm and released by Benny's new production company "Mono Music AB".
The album entered the Swedish LP chart on November 29th, 1985 and stayed there for 6 weeks peaking at #9.
The European release of the album "Gemini" featured different cover but the same track listing.

Gemini - the second album
At the beginning of 1987 Bjrn and Benny worked again with Karin and Anders Glenmark recording a new album with Gemini. B & B contributed with 6 songs to the LP. The album was recorded at Polar Music Studios in Stockholm and released in April by Mono Music. It became quite big hit on the Swedish charts but not in Europe. Gemini and Benny Andersson went on a promotional trip through Europe. They paid a visit in Moskva where they appeared in a big show hosted by Alla Pugacheva. A Russian version of Gemini's album was released in Sovjet Union.

Klnleges kislemez a gyjtemnyemben.
A Funky feet c. dal BB. szerzemnye 1976-bl, egy idben rtk a Dancing queen c. No.1. slgerkkel egytt.
Soha nem jelent meg az Abba eladsban, mert nagyon hasonlt az emltett sikerszmra.
Az Abba pont annak ksznheti sikert, hogy dalaik nem egyformk, mind ms.
gy a Hep stars szlisti vettk fl kislemezre,/ Benny rgi egyttese/, Svenne s Lotta.
Nagylemezk is jelent meg Abba dalokkal.
Ez azrt klnleges, mert csak ltaluk volt hallhat akkoriban.

In 1975, ABBA start recording ‘Dancing Queen’, released as a single in 1976 to become a number one hit all over the world. However, beside 'Dancing Queen', there was a song called 'Funky Feet', recorded in July 1976, which bears a striking similarity but was discarded by ABBA and released as a single by Svenne and Lotta in Scandinavia that same year.
