Today Tunes du Jour celebrates the birthday of Agnetha Fältskog, one of the two women in ABBA.
Our playlist kicks off with “SOS,” a favorite of John Lennon, Ray Davies and Pete Townshend, who called it “the best pop song ever written.” It inspired the main riff of The Sex Pistols’ “Pretty Vacant.” My favorite piece of trivia about the song – it is the only record to hit the Hot 100 where both the song title and the artist performing the song are palindromes.
Enjoy this playlist of tunes on which Agnetha handled lead vocals.
