Un Amore Inutile - Voitko unohtaa

Tuire Lehtimäki is a songstress that I don't know anything about. She recorded just one unsuccessful single in 1969. On the B-side was the third Finnish version of "Ma Che Freddo Fa" (see the other two here) and on the A-side was this "Voitko unohtaa" (Can you forget), another cover of an Italian hit. It's a shame that Tuire didn't continue her recording career, becouse she had that something special in her voice. The original song was named "Un Amore Inutile" (Love in vain) and it was a 1968 hit for Italian singer Isabella Iannetti (b. Carmela Jannetti).  She released about 20 singles in the 60's and was a frequent sight at a variety of song contests. We have met her before in Finnpicks, see here.

Here's the pair:

Il mare in cartolina - Huulet huulia on

We have met Kössi Härmä once before (see earlier entry) . He released several singles and one album in 70's, but never achieved any great success with any of those. This song "Huulet huulia on" (Jokes are just jokes) was released as a single in 1971, on the flipside of that earlier finnpick of his. The lyrics were written by Vexi Salmi. The original song was called "Il mare in cartolina" (The sea in postcard) was a modest hit for Italian singer Isabella Iannetti, after faring well in the RAI Television's popular song contest "Un disco per l'estate" (A record for the summer) in 1970.
