Tonight the Super Trouper Lights Are Gonna Find Me

It's back to one of the super groups from the 70's with one of their few hits from the early 80's. You can tell from today's video and song released in late 1980 that the super group ABBA was not going into the 80's without a fight. Their dress (especially Frida's horrific sweater), and hair, and lighting of the video still suggests a vintage 70's song and look. Maybe they knew what lay ahead in terms of disbanding, and so they held onto the 70's as long as they could. Though not as popular as "The Winner Takes It All" from the same album, here is the modest U.S. hit that was the title track for their next to last album called "Super Trouper"...
