Vi i femman = We in fifth grade

Vi i femman is a programme which started in 1963 on Swedish Radio (from 1970 on Swedish Television) for the Fifth Grade school children groups.

This was their first performance as Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid (pre-ABBA remember!) on this children's quiz show.

They performed People Need Love to playback.

A snippet of this performance was included in the officially released Super Troupers DVD (2004).
