#BIRTHDAY: Anne-Karine Strøm from Norway is 74 today That thing when you think a song title hasn’t been used before, but in actual fact it has. Take a certain Azerbaijani singing in Rotterdam a few years ago. She sang about a Dutch temptress. Maybe she didn’t know that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Romina Power from Italy is 74 today You can’t beat a nice little greeting to get you in a good mood. And today’s song is three minutes of good mood. In fact, if you were to watch the contest this song came from, you’d have about two […]
#BIRTHDAY: Robinson from Austria is 78 today Austria is one of those countries that have put in their fair share of good songs, and other songs over the years. They’ve had bands, and duos but only soloists have ever won. In the 1970s, Österreich had a love/hate relationship […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sue Schell from Switzerland is 75 today Many people have trodden the boards more than once, some with aplomb, and some doing stuff we’d rather not talk about. And I’m not possibly going to mention singers from the world’s oldest republic. But today we have a lady […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sandra Stevens from the UK is 75 today Do you want a vocal group? One of that curious breed where four(ish) voices are better than one? Well today is your lucky day. In 1976, the United Kingdom of stuff sent the Brotherhood of Man to The Hague […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mary Cristy is 72 today Do you remember the 1970s? Maybe a relative or friend told you about them. They were a time of one-night contests, hair lacquer, long dresses and cigarettes. And French was the predominant language of our favourite TV programme. In 1976, an English-language […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mariza Koch from Greece is 80 today When you look at how some countries are performing these days, it’s often good to see how they got to where they are. It can be surprising. When you think of Greece, you might think of the 21st Century when […]
#BIRTHDAY: Catherine Ferry from France is 70 today It’s good to have a really good look back in time to those earlier contests. The days of simplicity, when a singer had to actually sing, with fancy-schmancy backdrops and pre-recorded backing vocals. In 1976, we saw our friends in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Al Bano from Italy is 80 today Our friends in Italy are a very musical bunch. ‘Only’ three wins, but with the capability to win far more often should they choose to. And they even choose the range of configurations, from soloists to groups. And even, occasionally, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Peter Reber from Switzerland is 74 today There are some classic songs around and people argue about them. Today’s IS a classic. Go on, challenge me if you dare! The sharp-eyed amongst you will quickly spot that there are three people on stage today. The birthday boy […]
