Willy Larsen was the accompanist of many singers. One of the most famous was also the humorous singer Leo Kauppi, who was born in Kotka. He clearly outperformed all other American Finnish singers in record sales and was much more famous at the time than, for example, Hiski Salomaa. One of the best-selling records of all time was Tatu Pekkarinen's song MATTI Jurva's MATTI MAAILMAN MATTI. Leo Kauppi's records sold tens of thousands of copies in America and Finland. Kauppi sang many songs by J.Alfred Tanner and Tatu Pekkarinen on the record, but he also made the lyrics himself. The best known of them was the WAVES OF THE SEA WAVES composed by Antti Kosola, which even sold more than 30,000 pieces in the United States alone. Born in 1900, Leo Kauppinen, or later Leo Kauppi, was first an immigrant in Canada, from where he moved to the United States before the mid-1920s. During the Great Depression, he moved to the Soviet Union in the early 1930s and disappeared into the cadres in the Stalinist purges of 1938. Leo Kauppi recorded this MAAILMAN MATTI with accordion accompaniment by Willy Larsen on Columbia in New York on September 7, 1926.

Leo Kauppi, originally Kauppinen, (February 4, 1900 – 1938)[1] was a Finnish American wrestler, singer and songwriter. He was the most popular Finnish American singer in the 1920s.[2]
Kauppi was born in Kotka, where he and his brothers were well-known wrestlers. Initially Kauppi was not very interested in music, but used to perform at the local festivals in Kotka. He became a sailor and left his ship in a Canadian harbor in 1923. Later on he moved to Detroit and to New York City in 1924. He and his wife Hilda Nyman settled down in The Bronx and Kauppi started to perform at the Finnish American hall on 126th Street and at Työn Temppeli-hall on Fifth Avenue.[3]
In 1926 he started to make recordings for Columbia Records. Mostly he sang songs written by Tatu Pekkarinen and J. Alfred Tanner,[1] but some of his songs were written by himself. His greatest success was the waltz Meren aallot, to which he had wrote the lyrics. The record was made in December 1927 and it was sold in 30 000 pieces in the US, Canada and Finland. It was Finland's most successful record ever, until Ture Ara's record Emma was released in 1929.[1] Other of Kauppi's successful records were Maailman Matti, Kuuliaiset Kottilassa, Emma, Sjöman Andersson and Herra Petteri.[2] Kauppi made his first four recordings with the Finnish born accordionist Willy Larsen, but the most part of his recordings were made with the Finnish American musician Antti Kosola and his orchestra.[4] In total Kauppi recorded 40 songs between September 1926 and March 1931.[5]
Kauppi's career ended because of the great depression in 1931. Along with about 6 000 Finnish Americans, he and his wife moved to Soviet Karelia. They settled down in Petrozavodsk, where Kauppi worked as a swelter and continued singing for the local radio station. When Stalin's terror reached Karelia in 1937, thousands of Finns were arrested and executed.[6] Kauppi was arrested in 1937 and sent to a slave labor camp in the Soviet Union for 10 years.[7] He died there in 1938.[1] Hilda Kauppi was arrested in September 1938 and was executed near Petrozavodsk.[8]

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:
As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.
Quick note on grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the correct multiple item discount!
Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials
As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.
If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.
US Domestic Shipping:
Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:
Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)
1 record: 4.75 – 5.50$
2 records: 6.50$
5 records: 8.00$
10 records: 12.00$
MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 35$.
Please send me a message if you would like to get an estimate for you shipping rates!
I am very happy to ship records worldwide.
Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower
One record usually ships for 25$ for 10" 25-35$ for most 12" records (Less for Canada).
