I Can See Right Thru You - Naisen haluan

The third disco tune of the week is one by duo Jakke & Jokke. The duo consisted of brothers Seppälä; Jarmo and Jorma. They released several recordings in 70's and 80's as a duo and with their backing band Seikkailijat. Jokke Seppälä also ventured solo career. This "Naisen haluan" (I want a woman) was released as a single in 1979. It failed to hit the charts. The original song "I Can See Right Thru You" was performed by a Britsih rock group called Supercharge. The band was founded in 1974 in Liverpool, and had success in the latter part of the 70's especially in Australia. Their pruducer was the famous Robert "Mutt" Lange", who also wrote today's finnpicked song.

Sunshine Reggae - Sunshine Reggae

Jokke Seppälä (real name Jorma Seppälä) started his recording career in the 70's in a rock group called Session. After that has worked in the backing groups for Kisu and Vicky Rosti, and as a backing singer in Finnish ESC entries, but also made a short recording career both as solo artist and as a duo with his kid brother Jakke. Seppälä has also produced other artists and written songs for them. In 1984 Jokke recorded "Sunshine Reggae". It was released as a single and was a modest hit. The original "Sunshine Reggae" was written and performed by a Danish group Laid Back. Laid Back was founded in 1979 and the band actually comprised of only two members; Tim Stahl (keyboards) and John Guldberg (guitar). Their greatest international hit was this "Sunshine Reggae" in 1982. You can see a music video of the song, here.
