Italian Reacts To Hidden Finnish Music Gem: Topi Sorsakoski ja Agents - Surujen kitara

[@rustyspace900]

Agents was so popular that they almost single handedly saved the struggling old school dance hall culture at the time of Disco and Rock.

[@oh2mp]

Topi Sorsakoski (real name Pekka Tammilehto) was one of the best singers of that genre in Finland. Unfortunately he passed away in 2011 in the age of 58.

[@juhanifredrikson1719]

Originally recorded by Peggy Lee "Johnny Guitar" from the movie Johnny Guitar. if I remember correctly, it's composed by Victor Young and the lyrics are by Peggy Lee

[@cayenigma]

You are correct

[@vandalfinnicus1507]

Cool. I remember the song from Fallout New Vegas. Sorsakoski and other Finnish legends are much more interesting to me now as a 40+ person, than when I was young.

[@aki9525]

R.I.P. Topi Sorsakoski.

[@hepeli2]

Real name Pekka Tammilehto

[@MrBanaanipommi]

Topi sorsakoski once visited our home,well, my mother told that, probably my father never knew lol, i was little kid back then. When topi died, our classroom was silent as heck, we were like14-15 years old and everyone of us knew who he was... me and my friend still playing his songs while being at the lake or drinking

[@timoilonen1926]

The leading guitarist of Agents is Esa Pulliainen (The one with the Finnish flag on his guitar) He is considered as one of the best Finnish guitarists ever☝️ You should also react to Agents/Esa Pulliainen - Yksi ainoa ikkuna (Instrumental live)

[@zami8827]

Esa Pulliainen from agents is one of the best guitarist that Finland have to offer.

[@perttipertti6457]

Topi Sorsakoski had a great voice. whether young or old

[@TheMmm79]

I don't usually listen to this kind of music, but this one I ❤

[@saturahman7510]

His voice is lovely. Greetings from Finland

[@turvis94]

Reijo Taipale - Satumaa is other big Finnish pop/tango music gem, you should watch

[@veikkom.j.442]

Hi Mauro. Thanks for this and other interesting reactions. The band Agents was founded in the fall of 1979. Band members: Esa Pulliainen (guitar), Hans Etholén (accompanying guitar), Juha Takanen (drums), Jukka Ollila (keyboards; later Eero Ojanen) and Esa's brother Kai Pulliainen (bass). Agents' second soloist in the early 1980s was Pekka Tammilehto alias "Topi Sorsakoski". The collaboration between Topi Sorsakoski and Agents ended in August 1992. There were over a thousand gigs and five albums behind them. All records sold gold and four reached the platinum mark. Esa Pulliainen, a stylist and guitar virtuoso, was responsible for arranging the songs. Topi returned as a soloist in 2007 for one album and a tour. Topi died on August 13, 2011. The song you are reacting to is apparently from Topi's 50th anniversary concert on October 27, 2002 at Helsinki's Kulttuuritalo.

[@simoollila1290]

Lyrics The guitar is playing Sadness rings So quiet The chords of it The joy is gone Your departure took the joy out of it The sadness was all that was left Grief now, the guitar is playing, the guitar is playing Once it rings for you in the clearest Kiel Its sound is dark to me now Come to me again, come my love Then I would be so happy Just sadness, the guitar is playing, the guitar is playing Once it rings for you in the clearest Kiel Its sound is dark to me now Come to me again, come my love Then I would be so happy just sadness, the guitar is playing, the guitar is playing

[@osemarvin2847]

Goddamn, that was well pronounced! Especially "Topi Sorsakoski" and " Surujen". I didn't expect that!

[@mariamm9460]

Hi, Love this, i played electric guitar younger times🎸much happy to listen to this, thanks Mauro..I miss now my guitar ❤🙏

[@markoaaltonenHH]

Wau... I'm a Finnish drummer and I've seen Topi many times in those days 💥🤠👍

[@UliMuliko]

My favourite lead singer for Agents was always Rauli Badding but Topi is also great

[@mtauren1]

This is the song Johnny Guitar

[@Aurinkohelmi]

Yeah, those translations were a huge thing in here at some point 😊

[@jonidickhoff2890]

R.I.P to Topi Sorsakoski. He died in 2011 in 58 years old.

[@penaarja]

And experieencing so much different gategories of Finnis music

[@KaiHellmann]

Finish guitar Emeritus, Esa Pulliainen. Soft hands…

[@mehtimies]

Esa Pulliainen in leadguitar. Finnish guitarist legend

[@EsufuisOfficial]

We Finnish are excellent at especially melancholic and sad songs... Im doom metal artist myself

[@teroalhonniemi5494]

Topi is King.

[@saturahman7510]

You must listen ' Hopeinen kuu '

[@Freebrd420]

Hello Mauro! Great reaction again! I hope you can react Piirpauke - konevitsan kirkonkellot. There is strong symbolism about history of Karelian and Finnish tribes, its abvious what is evil side in this video, same happens in Europe now days. Concuers are trying to steal others treasures, wheat in today Europe, to rule world with hunger by first taking food away.

[@hextatik_sound]

It's by no means a hidden gem. It was a huge hit in Finland back in the day.

[@coollakshman]

I love how they experiment with different genres while still staying true to their sound. Next reaction - Nick Thurl end up dead 😍

[@tarmokortelainen4572]

Rauli Badding Somerjoki is also very famous singer with Agents, worth to listen.

[@jukkaviertio6393]

"Lankinen Pulliainen vihreät niityt", You will like it.

[@daleynevantaus224]

Check this out, if you want to listen to more finnish classical love songs. This is from as far as 1943, from wartime and originally sang by Erkki Eirto. This Leif Wagers version is more familiar to finns and still played in many, many weddings in Finland, including mine at 1999. This is the classic of all classics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4a0potjh9SHraM

[@TheJaggat]

Topi is so good here, and The Agents lovely. Dont miss another version,Jonny guitar, Spotnicks.

[@jps8678]

A always will love you i am More metal Guy from Finland but this is awes8me Topi had hes thing 😂

[@88Nyman]

Guitar with Finnish flack was guitar of Masters in finland

[@ezkis]

Proud to Be Finnish❤️

[@petrihakkinen2336]

Once we were in dancing hall and Topi should be singing there. He wasn't angents singer anymore then. And Topi was drinking in boat and his band played set and half way on second set Topi came singing so drunk that barelly can stand

[@samartik74]

There is one legend Dave Lindholm - annan kitaran laulaa vaan

[@agroamatoori3654]

Nowadays singer of agents is Ville Valo. Ville Valo use to be singer of rockband called HIM. You should listen Ville Valo& agents. When love and death embrace. That song is old hit from HIM.(His Infernal Majesty)

[@jeppej4265]

Valo was only with them for a year or so, one tour I think. Vesa Haaja has been the latest long time singer altough Maustetytöt did tour with them last year. I think guitarist Esa Pulliainen has been touring with MrBreathles lately, but I'm interested to see whats next on the Agents front!

[@Katsastusmies]

Excellent reaction! When I was young I heard this artist many many times and wondered who listens this kind of crap. 20 years later starting to play guitar at old age and of course Esa Pulliainen (guitarist) is one of the best one so started to listen this crap more. Now I have bought all the vinyls I get my hands on. Agents & Ville Valo you might want to check out also, ikkunaprinsessa and paratiisi(older versions). At least ikkunaprinsessa has also Spanish subtitles. You'll find it with ""Agents & Ville Valo Ikkunaprinsessa Subtitulos Finés Español" Both versions have Esa with that iconic guitar

[@Sunnuntaisoittaja]

If you want to know who is best Finish singer then listen to Olavi Virta 1915-1972.

[@maritaandelin5470]

I totally agree! I consider myself mostly a metalhead but OMG when I hear Olavi's songs... He was so great. ❤ And he also was a great actor.

[@tapsa7730]

I just find your channel, and that what you react. topi Sorsakoski is best. Kauan se soi!

[@merjakeskitalo1491]

Topi ❤❤❤

[@eliaylonen4501]

Listen Topi Sorsakoski's On kesäyö! It's very nice song! 😊

[@maritaulmanen8793]

❤❤❤❤ kiitos sinulle sinne tähtiin

[@hepeli2]

You have to listen to Topi S& Agents and" Salattu suru" or Beatles cover " Olet rakkain"(=And I love her)

[@jak8]

Topi❤

[@sirqazu]

It hurts to say goodbye Yön väistyessä Varjojen yö Vain yksin me kaksi Ajomies Olet rakkain Yksi ainoa ikkuna Rakkain Tuuli tuo tuuli vie Kellot soi Cherbourgin sateenvarjot Vihreät niityt Eeva Leningrad Moskovan valot Lyhdyn syttyvän nään On kesäyö

And one of the best: Voitko alkaa uudelleen

Esa Pulliainen on the guitar... He might be better than Alexi Laiho...

[@ssamotorsfinland]

Kylläpä oli surkea veto Topilta. Ihan kun olis hoono soomi. Levy versio paljon parempi.

[@butterflies655]

Upea esitys.

[@JuusoAlasuutari]

Interesting. To me (and many other esp. younger Finns) these artists have been the boring stuff that drunk sentimental middle aged bar patrons dig.

[@mauronicolo89]

I might look young, but inside i'm just like them ahah

[@MrBanaanipommi]

@@mauronicolo89 me too, im 27now and i play rather this than any rap songs ever made..

[@tapsa7730]

Im 18, and i lisen him and others legends

[@JuusoAlasuutari]

I think these things go in cycles. Every generation has their blind spot and doesn't necessarily see the beauty in front of their eyes.
