First published on Cookaway Music formed by Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway back in 1968 after a few years with Maribus (DJM) and Mills Music. This is Finnish popular singer Katri Helena performing the Gene Pitney hit “Blue Angel” (aka Sininen Enkeli). Composed by Roger Cook. Finnish lyrics from Chrisse Johansson, Titta Kerttula and produced by Scandia Team. Released on LP via Scandia Records way back in 1978. Katri has presented Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest twice, in Israel 1979 with the song "Katson sineen taivaan" and in Ireland 1993 with the song "Tule luo".
Something different for a change. Instead of hearing the same hits over and over again, I have dug out 3 thousand related songs to Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway. All are NON HITS!
I will be playing one song a day. It looks like I'll be finished in around 9 years time! All songs are somehow related to Cook & Greenaway. Written, produced, performed, back vocal, Record label, Publishing. ENJOY!
