Kylie and Dannii Minogue - The Winner Takes It All
"She walks in beauty" George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron 1788–1824
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

I would like to answer the question that you posed in your recent bulletin:
I love ABBA because of the rich harmonies of Frida and Agnetha's singing. I love the rhythm, color, texture, articulation, purity of intonation, emotionality, warmth and range of their incomparably beautiful voices.
And I love ABBA because of the richness and vitality of the imperishable melodies and compositional structures created by Benny and Björn (and helped to fruition by the recording engineer Michael Tretow). The folk melodies and rhythms that Benny and Björn infuse in their musical compositions add spice and zest which keeps their music interesting no matter how many times I listen to it.
I could enjoy listening to Frida and Agnetha sing a capella. And I could enjoy listening to Benny and Björn's instrumental masterpieces of Western art music. But put the girls' voices together with the boys' music and the result is pure musical ecstasy!
In addition, there are several non-musical reasons why I love ABBA. I love the unique personality that each member of ABBA has. I love the way that ABBA delivered their songs on stage with dancing, fun costumes, and entertaining flair. I also love ABBA for sentimental reasons because their music is a very important part of the soundtrack of my life.
And I love ABBA for a million other reasons that simply cannot be expressed with words!
Thanks, Kathryn, for asking this great question :) ~~~Matthew
Good morning! Abba has some of the best songs of all time! I think Agnetha has a better voice than any singer today. Their will never be another Abba!!!
