I'm in a Corfu state of mind. Local chanteuse Vicky Leandros in her first Eurovision attempt, 5 years before she won, and 10 before she hooked up with Kim Fowley!
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...
