Did you know that Dorothy Parker's Threnody was recorded by Frida
(Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA) 1982? It was on her album "Something's Going
On" and the melody was written by Per Gessle. Frida had earlier said "if
I'm ever gonna do a different record, it will be songs with Dorothy
Parker's poems as lyrics. It's in her texts I find strength, insight and
comfort when I go through hard times. Her books have meant a lot to me."
(badly translated, but something like this ;))
