My younger brother got Ernie for a christmas present 1971 (and I bought it in the 90's when it was a hit again
 ). Still a fun record. New Seekers was my top record for early 1972, and American Pie is a classic, and also a hit again in the 90's. I just bought his latest new single this week, called American Boys.

...and that Euro song also topped my charts back in the day
 Still think it should have won, much as I like Vicky Leandros'. She should have won with Love Is Blue...

My # 1 is Ireland (Sandie Jones - Ceol An Ghra), it was the only occasion in Eurovision history of the contest on which a song was performed on Gaelic language.

My # 1 is Ireland (Sandie Jones - Ceol An Ghra), it was the only occasion in Eurovision history of the contest on which a song was performed on Gaelic language. For that time period it would have to be Kenneth McKellar I think, but there were plenty of bad entries from the UK in the late 80's! Outside of Eurovision Clannad did a lot of great Gaelic tracks, and Enya did some too I think. |
