Juhani Juice Leskinen, better known as just Juice Leskinen (pronounced ˈjui̯se ˈleskinen), was one of the most prominent Finnish singer-songwriters of the late 20th century. From the early 1970s onward he released nearly 30 full-length albums, as well as writing song lyrics for dozens of Finnish artists. Several of Leskinen's songs have reached classic status in Finnish popular music. His early records are considered staples of the so-called Manserock movement of the mid-'70s. In addition to Leskinen's musical work, he extended his focus to poetry and playwriting with nine collections of verse and seven plays published. "Juice Leskinen," Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia
