Chiquitita - ABBA

ABBA gets unfairly stuck with a cliche label.  Most people know "Dancing Queen" (a great but way overplayed song in its time and after) and not much else.  This song had huge airplay when it came out in 1979. There are few pop songs with more power. I love the harmonies and the old world, cabaret-like, feel of the song.  There are a lot of qualities in this song that never appeared again in anything heard in America.
