The family story goes that when I was 3 years old I asked a pianist at a party if he could play "Love is Blue." Of course, being a yank, I had the cheesy Paul Mauriat version in mind. Nevertheless, even at a young age I knew it was a sad and beautiful world...

#ESCWeek ...A truly beautiful song.. ... in 1967 the contest took part in Vienna. It will take part in Vienna this year as well, for the first time since then. This was the year that the UK won, with Sandy Shaw's 'Puppet on a string' with 47 points...it's nearest rivals that year got 22 points.. This song came 4th...but became the biggest hit all over the world.....Vicky Leandros was singing for Luxembourg back then, is Greek and sings in eight languages...
