Lay Lady Lay - Hei, leidi hei

Hector recorded his album "Hotelli Hannikainen" in 1976 and he himself has described it as an urban country album. One example of that is the track "Hei, leidi hei" (Hey lady hey).

It was released in 1969 on his "Nashville Skyline" album. It became one of Dylan's top US hits, peaking at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was originally written for the soundtrack of the movie 'Midnight Cowboy', but wasn't submitted in time to be included in the finished film.
