December 9, 200915 yr Israel - 1976 - Chocolate Menta Mastik - Emor Shalom - 6th - 77 Points The Israeli Charlie's Angels! :yahoo: 1976 is not one of the strongest years IMO but there are two songs I love: Ireland and Greece. And Norway so didn't deserve last place. Poor Ann-Karin!
December 9, 200915 yr Next one is no longer with us :cry: I'm of course talking about Italy!!! :snif: The singer is alive as far as I know :P Italy 1973 - Massimo Ranieri - Chi Sarà Con Te Sara It came 13th with 74 points :) Italy is so deeply missed. Massimo, apparently, is still going strong. Back when I had Italian TV on cable, he starred in a numerous music galas. But I personally prefer his 1971 entry "L'amore é un attimo". 1973 was quite an off-beat year. Portugal's song is still remembered for the way it got past censorship despite being quite an in-your-face complaint against the dictatorship regime. But I guess it was the paso-doble rhythm that got it into the top 10. 3 masterpieces from that year: Luxembourg, Spain and Israel. And what a shame they didn't appreciate the fun in Belgium.
December 9, 200915 yr And the last one for today, They came as fast as they went.. It's the only African country who have been to ESC.. it's MAROCCO - 1980 - Samira Bensaïd - Bitakat Hob It came 18th with 7 points :P What a shame Morocco never came back. This ethno-disco number really got me wondering what would they come up with next. I think they only entered this year because Israel withdrew. My 1980 faves? Ireland, Turkey, Austria, Morocco, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
December 9, 200915 yr Next out is PORTUGAL from 1981, It's Carlos Paião - Play-Back It came 18th with 9 points :P Love it :wub: Love this song and what a shame how it was painfully overlooked. 1981 had the best set from the 80's. My faves: Denmark, Portugal, Ireland, Belgium, Greece and France.
