Agnetha Ase Faltskog was born in Jonkoping, on the shores of Lake Vattern in southern Sweden, on April 5 1950. She grew up in a musical and artistic environment. Her father Ingvar regularly put on amateur shows. Her mother Birgit would often sing at home.
Agnetha discovered a neighbour's piano when she was just 5. Everyday the little girl would tap away on the keyboard, the sounds she could make fascinated her. Two years later her parents gave her the instrument she desperately wanted.
She made her stage debut at 7 when her father asked her to sing at a Christmas party in front of an audience of mainly elderly people. She sang "Billy Boy". Her trousers fell down in the middle of the song, causing great hilarity, but this didn't diminish her passion for the stage.
Multi talented Agnetha is an accomplished singer, songwriter, lyricist, record producer, arranger, stage performer and actress. She was also blessed with beautiful good looks and long blonde Swedish hair. Agnetha is an all round nice person and proud mum of two, Linda and Christian.
Here Agnetha is the prettiest ballerina you've ever seen!
From Ring Ring album (1973). Lyrics:
Every day in the morning on her way to the office,
You can see her as she catches a train,
Just a face among a million faces,
Just another woman with no name,
Not the girl you'd remember,
But she's still something special,
If you knew her I am sure you'd agree,
'Cause I know she's got a little secret,
Friday evening she turns out to be,
Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor,
This is the moment she's waited for,
Just like Cinderella,
(Just like Cinderella),
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way,
This is the part that she likes to play,
But she knows the fun would go away,
If she would play it every day,
So she's back every morning to her work at the office,
And another week to live in a dream,
And another row of early mornings,
In an almost never-ending stream,
Doesn't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain
Everybody seems to think she's a bore,
But they wouldn't know her little secret,
What her Friday night would have in store,
Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor,
This is the moment she's waited for,
Just like Cinderella,
(Just like Cinderella),
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way,
This is the part that she likes to play,
She would like to play it every day,
Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor,
This is the moment she's waited for,
Just like Cinderella,
(Just like Cinderella),
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way,
This is the part that she likes to play.

Every day in the morning on her way to the office
You can see as she catches a train
Just a face among a million faces
Just another woman with no name
Not the girl you'd remember but she's still something special
If you knew her I am sure you'd agree
'Cause I know she's got a little secret
Friday evening she turns out to be...

Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like Cinderella
(just like Cinderella)
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way
This is the part that she likes to play
But she knows the fun would go away
If she would play it every day

So she's back every morning to her work at the office
And another week to live in a dream
And another row of early mornings
In an almost never-ending stream
Doesn't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain
Everybody seems to think she's a bore
But they wouldn't know her little secret
What her Friday night would have in store...

Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like Cinderella
(just like Cinderella)
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way
This is the part that she likes to play
She would like to play it every day

Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like Cinderella
(just like Cinderella)
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way
This is the part that she likes to play
