Lili & Susie (initially Lili & Sussie) is a Swedish pop duo composed of the sisters Lili Päivärinta and Susie Päivärinta. [1] They scored a number of hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Their single Candy Love, written in the tradition of Italo Disco, was a dancefloor hit in the discoteques around the mediterranean in 1986, with modest success in northern Europe. Their biggest hit was "Oh Mama" in 1987. "Oh Mama" spent six weeks in the top five of the Swedish singles chart. They dissolved in 1993 and released a best-of compilation called The Collection 85-93 in 1994. The duo competed in the Swedish pre-selection to the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 with the song "Okey, okey", finishing 5th, at the final of Melodifestivalen 1989.
