Was a Finnish jazz and pop singer. She was born in Helsinki as Carola Christina Standertskjöld. As the vocalist for Esa Pethman's jazz quartet and Hazy Ostwald's sextet in the early 1960s, Carola made fame in Finland, Sweden, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Switzerland. In 1966 with Heikki Sarmanto Trio, she recorded a jazz session in studio, which was shelved by YLE as uncommercial. Carola's accosting tone was supported by the groovy approach of her supporting orchestras. The style was partially inspired by American jazz singers of the 1950s. Simultaneously, it was in the spirit of the modal jazz scene going down in Europe in the 1960s. Mostly, Carola's jazz repertoire consisted in idiosynchratic versions of American jazz songs in English, while her most famous jazz song "The Flame" was an original composition by Esa Pethman and the lyrics by the singer herself. In late 1960s and early 1970s
