Carola (see previous entry) released "Se onko hän" (Is it him) in 1970. It was not the first Finnish version of this song, it was done By Marjatta Leppänen a year before (we hope to find also that version to be presented here).

The best-selling version was recorded as "It Must Be Him" that same year by Texan singer Vikki Carr (real name Florencia Bisenta de Casillas Martinez Cardona, no wonder she chose another stage name. too). It reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Carr went on to record it in Spanish and Italian, as well. Later years Vikki has had enormous success in the Latin music world.
