1979 was a year of tremendous change for ABBA. Agnetha and Bjorn had separated, their incredibly popular ABBA: The Movie had consolidated their worldwide success, and as if all that weren't enough, they "went" disco. Songs like "Voulez-Vous", the upbeat "Angeleyes", and more throwaway "Does Your Mother Know" embraced the style wholeheartedly, leading some fans to worry about ABBA's future for the first time. Where had the pure pop thrill gone? they mourned. "I Have a Dream", meanwhile, with its choir of children singing (recorded live at Wembley Arena, at the final concert of ABBA's last world tour), was possibly the most saccharine song they had yet produced. Yet any disc that contained the majestic "Chiquitita" couldn't be completely written off--and the awesome Super Trouper was only a year away. --Everett True
