AboutArmi Aavikko
Real Name: Armi Anja Orvokki Aavikko
Profile:
Armi Anja Orvokki Aavikko (1 September 1958, Helsinki – 2 January 2002, Espoo) was a Finnish beauty queen and singer. She was chosen as Miss Finland in 1977 and was best known for her duets with singer Danny.
Toward the end of her life, Aavikko struggled with alcoholism and depression.
Everything started when Armi Aavikko was chosen as Miss Finland in February 1977. A part of the duties of the new Miss Finland was to work as a show host for Danny (13)'s show, helping them to find the new Miss Finland. When Danny and his team found out that she can sing, they decided to release a duet, and the single "Tahdon olla sulle hyvin hellä" came out in April 1977. The single was a big success. Danny & Armi released two albums together, and after that Armi released a solo album in 1981, and another in 1993, under the name "Armi & Lemmikit".
She worked together with Danny for 18 years. Even though they only released two albums together, she still continued working on the "Danny & Armi -show" until 1995, when she decided to concentrate on her personal problems.
She died on 2 January 2002 from pneumonia at the age of 43. Aavikko achieved some posthumous fame in 2006 when the 1978 music video "I Wanna Love You Tender" featuring herself and Danny became an Internet phenomenon.
