Have a disco shock!

''ABBA, actually, even blew one big chance to break into the American market. The Bee Gees invited ABBA to record "If I Can't Have You" for the SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER album, but ABBA declined since they never recorded songs by outside writers. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER turned out to be the biggest selling album of 1978 and "If I Cant Have You" as recorded by Yvonne Elliman went to #1 in the United States''

IF true .....
I can honestly hear in my mind them taking that song to an even higher level than did Yvonne .

As far as that then breaking them into the American market ....not necessary... ....
ABBA had already begun 1977 , months before the release of Saturday Night Fever, by riding the top of the American chart ( #! ) with their colossus smash DANCING QUEEN .
For that matter , WATERLOO had them in the Top 10 way back in 1974.
