SUPER TROUPER

Swedish pop fourpiece ABBA were one of the biggest acts in the world in the 1970s. They first came to prominence after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with “Waterloo.” The song was later released as their first official single, and it reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. One of the musicians to appear on every ABBA album except for their final studio album, The Visitors in 1981, was guitarist Janne Schaffer.

Though he will forever remain connected to the ABBA story and music, Schaffer is also, and has been, a very successful session guitarist and solo artist in his own right. He began undertaking a studio session career in 1970; the following year, he received a call that would alter the course.”
