Cascade was a Finnish pop/soul group that was active in 1974-1977. It was founded by the members Ami Aspelund, Aimo Jaara, Marjo-Riitta Kervinen and Kari Kuusamo. They released four singles and one album before they disbanded due the other projects of the members. Their second single "Pigallelle jonoon vaan / Angie baby" was released in 1975. "Pigallelle jonoon vaan" (roughly translated "To the line for Pigalle") is a nice cover of Labelle hit "Lady marmalade" that was originally released in 1974 and spawned numerous covers all over the world. The b-side song "Angie baby" is a cover of the Helen Reddy song with the same name. It was originally released in 1974 aswell and it reached the Billboard top 100 number one position in December 1974. While "Pigallelle jonoon vaan" is a grooving party number, "Angie baby" follows the original pretty well being a slow and a little bit weird but at the same time very beautiful song. This 45 isn't too commonly seen but both songs were released on Scandia's Huipulla 7 compilation and "Pigallelle jonoon vaan" also on Sonet's Maailmalla Soi 1 compilation.

To all the people that wonder what Pigalle is, the Wikipedia gives an answer:

"Pigalle is famous for being a touristic district, with many sex shops on Place Pigalle and the main boulevards and prostitutes operating in the side streets. The neighborhood's raunchy reputation led to its World War II nickname of "Pig Alley" by Allied soldiers. The Divan du Monde and the Moulin Rouge, a world-famous cabaret, are both located in Pigalle."
