Anni-Frid Lyngstad

In 2004 she re-entered the limelight by recording a song in conjunction with former Deep Purple legend Jon Lord "The Sun will Shine Again" and also appearing with Benny and Bjorn at the London 5th Anniversary performance of the musical based on Abba songs, "Mamma Mia". To prevent people from assuming that the "monkey" mentioned in the album's title might be a reference to former member Cee-Lo, the current members have stated that it is actually more or less a reference to the industry (Goodie Mob was dropped from Arista after lackluster sales of their commercial effort World Party) and truly believe that this album will pick up where Still Standing left off. After the break-up of Abba in 1982 Frida released a successful album, "There's Something Going On" though the follow-up "Shine" was less popular and proved her last foray into the music world for some years. Despite the group's woes as performers and as people, their new album One Monkey Don't Stop No Show was released in June, without Cee-Lo. In 1992 Anni-Frid married His Highness Prince Heinrich Ruzzo Reuss von Plauen (1950-1999), of the Princely Reuss family. His debut single, "Steppin' Out" featured southern R&B newcomer, Sleepy Brown, on the chorus and received some radio and video airplay. She married Benny on October 6, 1978 - divorcing in 1981. Other than Cee-Lo's commercial achievements, Big Gipp is the only Goodie Mobb member who achieved some notoriety as a soloist.

She made a second in 1971, produced by Benny Andersson, laying the foundations for ABBA. The solo array was rounded out by the vet, Big Gipp's 2003 Mutant Mind Frame. In 1967 Anni-Frid won a TV talent contest, and made an album for EMI. Next, Khujo Goodie, despite a near fatal car crash that cost him a leg, released Man Not The Dog. Anni-Frid got her first job as a jazz singer at the age of 13, then formed her own band, the Anni-Frid Four, marrying the bass player Ragnar Fredriksson at age 18, with whom she had two children before divorcing. T-Mo started the trend with his 2000 album, T-Mo 2 The Fullest; this was followed by Cee-Lo Green And His Perfect Imperfections. Synni died before Anni-Frid was two, so she was brought up by her grandmother in Eskilstuna, Sweden. Cee-Lo was not the first and definitely not the last member of the group to try his hand at a solo career.

At the end of WWII Anni-Frid, her mother and grandmother fled to Sweden for fear of reprisals from the Norwegian population - whose socialist government put many German-fathered children into mental institutions, or sent them overseas. His 2003 single "I'll Be Around" (featuring megastar producer and fellow southerner Timbaland) was a much more commercially successful song, but still maintained his idiosyncratic style. After a German magazine published the story of her origins in 1977, Anni-Frid discovered that her father had not died. The album explored many new frontiers for hip hop, with elements of soul, jazz and pop combined with Cee-Lo's signature vocal style, positive messages and constantly changing delivery. Anni-Frid was born illegitimately in Ballangen, near Narvik, Norway as a result of a liaison between Synni - her mother - and a married German sergeant, Alfred Haase, during the German military occupation. Anni-Frid believed that her father had died when his ship to Germany was sunk during the war. Group member Cee-Lo has since embarked on a solo career, releasing the critically acclaimed album Cee-Lo Green And His Perfect Imperfections in 2002, to limited commercial success. Anni-Frid-Synni "Frida" Lyngstad (born November 15, 1945) is best known as one of the four singers in the pop group ABBA. In1999, the group released World Party, their third release.

The album's follow-up was Still Standing, which expanded Goodie Mob's considerable fanbase just as the Dirty South broke into the mainstream with OutKast's Stankonia. Along with OutKast's Southernplayalisticadillacmuzak, it put Atlanta on the hip-hop map. Based out of Atlanta, Goodie Mob's debut, Soul Food (1995) was critically acclaimed. Goodie Mob is one of the premiere hip hop acts to come out of the Dirty South.
