ABBA has been in the music business for 50 years. To celebrate that happy event, INFE Ireland and INFE South Africa are hosting the ABBA TOP 50. We’ll be posting what we think are the 50 best ABBA songs in alphabetical order. Enjoy!
ESC Covers picked JILL DRESKI’s cover of SUMMER NIGHT CITY. It is also in English.
THE 36th ABBA SONG IN OUR LIST IS:
Summer Night City, a song written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus as a tribute to their hometown Stockholm. It is the group’s second non-album single, released on 6 September 1978. It was also featured as a bonus track on both the 1997 and 2001 CD re-issues of Voulez-Vous. Despite the group’s negative views of the song, Summer Night City was another sizeable hit for ABBA, but not one of their biggest.
