Riki Sorsa, born December 26, 1952, represented Finland in the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest with a song about that typically Finnish music style: 'Reggae OK'. It surprised the international juries so much that they forgot to vote for it. The song ended up in 16th place (with 20 countries participating).Sorsa started his music career in 1975 in the band ZOO. Despite his poor placing in the Contest, he continued his career in Finland, releasing more than a dozen albums between 1981 and now.
