Don't Stop - Pelkkää elämää
For his eponymous 1979 album Kari Tapio recorded "Pelkkää elämää" (Just life). The arrangement was done by Veikko Samuli. This just might be the one and only Fleetwood Mac cover made in Finnish. The original song "Don't Stop" was one of Mac's greatest hits. It was written by the keyboard player Christine McVie and sung by her and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham.,The song was culled as a single from the band's 1977 album "Rumours". The album has sold about 50 million copies worldwide and is one of the biggest-selling albums of all time.

hello my friend I'm looking for a nice blog here, I found many Turkish songs you want to send a thank you.
Not quite the only FM cover in Finnish. Obviously loads of FM Mark I blues songs have been covered by Finnish bands, usually in English. However there are at least two songs that have been done in Finnish: Black magic woman by Sleepy Sleepers and Man of the World by Heikki Hela and by (of all people) Matti & Teppo.
This 'Man of The World" in Finnish sounds interesting. It was always one my favourites of the "old" Fleetwood Mac. I'll try to catch those Finnish ones.
Tosiaan, Topi levytti "Man Of The World" -version nimellä "Nuoruuteni" sinkun b-puolelle 1992. On sen jälkeen julkaistu ainakin "In Memoriam" -albumilla. kuuntelin sen äsken, eikä minusta ollut kovin onnistunut koveri ...
Tuo Matti ja Tepon Maailmanmies on kuitenkin eri biisi kuin Helan FM käännös. Kontra yhtyeeltä löytyy vielä Long Gray Mare suomeksi,löytyy Suurimmat iskut kokoelmalta. Myös FM 2:lta löytyy käännös; Seppo närhen uidakin voit Uumajaan (Monday Morning). Lisäksi Bob Welchin Ebony eyes on käännetty, biisi on kuitenkin soolotuotantoa.

Myös 'Maailmanmies' Sorsakoski muisteli menneitä kappaleella *Nuoruuteni*.
Jollain Agents-levyllähän se muistaakseni oli.

To my surprise I found out that Katri Helena has recorded FM's "Little Lies". I present it here someday.
