Abba (1972) People Need Love

 From their debut album Ring Ring (1973) credited to "Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid", the group hadn't solidified as a permanent act, and while it shows with the focus being a bit too much on the boys with additional backing from the girls, it's still a phenomenal song and the first real taste of Abba in the powerful harmonies with a Wall of Sound production Benny and Bjorn had leaned from their 60s bands and an aireyness from Swedish folk music. The song has the upbeat teachings of some of their best hits too.

A jaunty pop song filled with a reverse echo transition, rock guitar, joyful traded harmonies between the two sets of members, the ethereal power of their Scandinavian voices against a powerful backing is truly memorable. It reminds me of Mike Curb Congregation hits, this was the era of I'd like to buy the world a Coke' not to mention the bubblegum La Las; but its the ending fadeout of warbling, cross harmonies and more reverse echoed filters on the vocals now to create a nice experimental tag.
