Music Video of the Day: Bald Headed Woman by The Hep Stars (1966, dir. ???)

Posted on by Valerie Troutman

Of course there are! This is turning into the ABBA hole.

Since I do plan on including Frida’s and Agnetha’s post-ABBA music videos leading up to, and following 2004’s The Last Video (ABBA), it means I need to do any pre-ABBA music videos as well. Go figure that a band that would become well-known for their videos would have members that made music videos prior to its creation.

In the 1960s, Benny was in a band called The Hep Stars. That’s him on keyboards. You can read about them on Wikipedia.

The only thing that has me a little worried is that many of the videos after this for the members of ABBA, before ABBA, were part of TV specials as opposed to standing on their own. However, they seem to just be music videos that were shot and aired in a row for varying reasons. They aren’t A Hard Days Night (1964). Besides, there’s no way I’m not including the one where Björn does the tango.

Enjoy!
