ROXETTE - Jim Colyer

I gave myself to the Swedes for awhile. Roxette was a great 90s band from Sweden fronted by Per Gessle and Marie Fredricksson. Their albums, Look Sharp! & Joyride scored big. "It Must Have Been Love" was a #1 hit from the film, Pretty Woman. Roxette had 4 #1 records in the U.S. That is amazing when you consider that ABBA had only one #1 in the U.S. (Dancing Queen). Roxette was influenced by ABBA but more influenced by The Beatles.
