Eurovision Song Contest 1967
Encyclopedia
The Eurovision Song Contest 1967 was the twelfth Eurovision Song Contest
. The presenter became confused whilst the voting was taking place, and declared the United Kingdom
's entry to be the winner before the last country, Ireland, had announced its votes. The winning entry "Puppet on a String
", sung by Sandie Shaw
had one of the widest margins of victory ever witnessed in the competition; it garnered more than twice as many votes as the second place song. Shaw intensely disliked the composition, though her attitude towards the song has somewhat mellowed in recent years, even releasing a new version in 2007.
The entry from Luxembourg, "L'amour est bleu", sung by Vicky Leandros, came in fourth; nonetheless, it went on to become the biggest international hit of the 1967 contest, and a year later would be a big instrumental hit for French musician, Paul Mauriat, under the English version, "Love is Blue".
Denmark chose not to participate and left the contest at this point, to return in 1978. The reason was that the new director for the TV entertainment department at DR thought that the money could be spent in a better way.
The United Kingdom's win was their first. Television presenter, artist and musician, Rolf Harris
provided the commentary for BBC Television viewers. Switzerland received zero votes for the second time.
Portugal was represented by Eduardo Nascimento
who was the first black male singer in the history of
Eurovision Song Contest
, performing "O vento mudou
" ("The wind changed"). Rumors claimed that Portuguese prime minister Salazar
had chosen this particular singer to show the rest of Europe that he wasn't racist
.
The stage setup was a little bit unusual this year. There were two revolving mirrored walls on both ends of the stage and started revolving at the start of each song and stopped revolving at the end of each song. The hostess, Erika Vaal ended the program by congratulating the winning song, country and saying good bye in several different languages.
