My friends from the ABBA Tribute Band put this tribute to all the Nurses around the World!
Like us here in America, they are consigned to shelter in place at home which means they too can no longer tour, but came up with this very lovely tribute to all the nurses treating the Covid-19 virus.
It's "Thank You For The Music" now turned....."Thank You To The Nurses".
It's lovely, so here's a link from their Facebook page ABBA-Arrival UK The Hits of ABBA and then their web site. WITH THEIR PERMISSION OF COURSE. Your welcome!!!!

ABBA recording new song!
But their joint project completely eclipsed their previous successes. After winning the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo in 1974, the band sold almost 400 million singles and albums around the world.
Mamma Mia!, the musical based on their hits and produced by Ulvaeus and Andersson, has been seen by more than 50 million people.
During their most successful period, the band survived marriage break-ups between Ulvaeus and Faltskog, and Lyngstad and Andersson, but they finally called it a day in 1983.
Their final recording sessions, in 1982, produced the hits Under Attack and The Day Before You Came, which featured on the compilation album The Singles.
Their last public performance came three years later, on the Swedish version of TV show This Is Your Life, which honoured their manager Stig Anderson.

ABBA's 50th anniversary!!! AWESOME!!!
http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7393617/abba-reunites-performs-stockholm-50th-anniversary
The four members of ABBA have come together for an improbable performance. Agnetha
Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad
made a rare joint appearance on Sunday (June 5) for a celebration to
mark the half-century since the legendary pop group was born.
The Swedish superstars were joined with other musicians, homegrown actors, celebrities and guests for a private party at the Berns Salonger hotel in downtown Stockholm, the Expressen reports.
The act split in 1982 and hasn't performed together since 1986. ABBA’s music has enjoyed a huge boost thanks to the lucrative Mamma Mia! stage show, which opened in 1999 in London and later became a Broadway hit. The jukebox musical has grossed more than $2 billion from more than 40 international stage adaptations and been seen by more than 55 million people.
Legend would have it the members of ABBA once turned down a $1 billion fee to reunite for a tour.

Wow who would have thought?
Björn, Benny, Agnetha and Anni-Frid’s surprise appearance marks the
first time that the group have appeared on stage together in public in
30 years. Their final public performance was aired on Swedish television
in January 1986, when they performed an acoustic version of
‘Tivedshambo’ as part of a 55th-birthday celebration of their manager,
Stig Anderson; later that year they also performed at a private
40th-birthday party for their old manager, Claes af Geijerstam.
ABBA launch the new venture the same year that one of their most iconic singles, ‘Dancing Queen’, turns 40.
Taken from their Arrival album and released in August 1976, it topped the charts in nine countries.
Whether the group – one of the most beloved in music history – have any more surprises in store for the anniversary of one of their signature songs remains to be seen; meanwhile, the opening of Mamma Mia! The Party is sure to send ABBA’s dedicated fan base into a frenzy.
