The second Eurovision singer we are featuring here with a cover of a well-known non Eurovision song is VICKY ROSTI. She represented FINLAND at the 1987 Eurovision song contest with SATA SALAMAA. She has covered the hit HELP of the BEATLES in Finnish but kept the title also Help.

FINNISH COMPILATION CD SET
I just got a 3 CD set compilation from Finland. It seems to be a series called MUISTOJEN 70 LUKU featuring 20 Finnish songs per CD, so a total of 60 in such a set. I got the set dedicated to the year 1977 so it is 60 songs that were popular in Finland in that year. It is more or less split 50-50 between original songs and covers. Most interesting of course is the covers of Eurovision songs. This set contains the following
FRANCE – L’oiseau et l’enfant
In Finnish it is sung by Katri Helena (who herself took part for Finland at Eurovision twice). She called her cover LINTU JA LAPSI
MONACO – Une petite francaise
In Finnish it is sung by Merja Rantamaki and it is called OON TYTTO MAALTA
SPAIN – Ensename a cantar
In Finnish it is sung by Arto Sotavalta and it is called SAI LAULU AIKAAN SEN
SWITZERLAND – Swiss lady
In Finnish it is sung by Kari Tapio and it is called AIKUINEN NAINEN
Of course also there is the 1977 Finnish entry LAPPONIA sung by Monica Aspelund
