You've Got a Friend - Voit luottaa ystävään

Here's another James Taylor cover. Danny released "Voit Luottaa Ystävään" (You can trust a friend) in 1971. It was on the B-side of "Valvoin tänään aamukuuteen" -single (finnpicked here).

Taylor's rendition was released as a single from his own 1971 album "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon". It went all the way to number 1 on the Billboard charts.

Oh Carol - Voi Maija

Whether you want it or not, the Frederik Friday is here again! Frederik recorded "Voi Maija" in 1975 in his 3rd album "Se jokin minulla on" (I've got that something). The song is done in the usual tongue-in-cheek Frederik style. The song is originally the famous "Oh Carol" written and sung by Neil Sedaka in 1959. It has become one of the true classics of the pop genre. At the time, Sedaka was already a professional songwriter and after studying hit records in several countries, Sedaka incorporated common factors like a certain drum beat and the use of a girl's name. "Oh Carol" was the result. Sedaka wrote this for the songwriter colleague Carole King, who was his girlfriend while studying in Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, New York. Using the same melody line, Carole King write a funny answer song 'Oh Neil' in 1960. As it's rarely heard we present it here as a "bonus track".
