Seija Saara Maria Simola (25 September 1944 – 21 August 2017),[1][2] married name Franzén, was a Finnish singer.
Simola was born in Helsinki. She began her musical career in the mid-1960s, in the band Eero Seija & Kristian Trio, and her debut solo album, Seija Simola 1, was released in 1970. The 1970s would be her most successful decade.[3]
In 1978, she represented Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle) at the Eurovision Song Contest 1978. There she performed the entry Anna rakkaudelle tilaisuus (Give love a chance), on 22 April 1978. The song finished in the 18th position with a total of two points. Despite this poor result, Simola continued a long and successful career in her native Finland. She died in Vantaa.
