The Eurovision Song Contest 1969 was the 14th competition of its kind since the event was launched by Eurovision . It took place on March 29, 1969 in Madrid in Spain under the official title of 14th Gran Premio de la Canción de Eurovisión , as last year's winner had come from this country.
particularities
Four different performers and countries won the competition:
- Salomé for Spain with the song Vivo cantando
- Lulu for Great Britain and Northern Ireland with the song Boom Bang-a-Bang
- Lenny Kuhr for the Netherlands with the song De troubadour
- Frida Boccara for France with the song Un jour, un enfant.
As there were no rules for a tie, all four countries were declared winners.
Spain was the first participating country to win twice in a row. Only the participants in Luxembourg, Israel and Ireland succeeded in doing this again.
The youngest participant in a Eurovision Song Contest until then came from Monaco. Jean-Jacques , who sang the song Maman, Maman , was only twelve years old.
The program was moderated by the Spanish announcer Laurita Valenzuela. The artist Salvador Dalí was responsible in advance for the advertising and partly for the artistic design.
As early as 1968, a single in France with the label “La chanson officielle du Liechtenstein pour le Grand Prix Eurovision 1969” (Liechtenstein's official contribution to the Grand Prix Eurovision 1969) was released. However , this had nothing to do with Liechtenstein's serious attempt to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1969, if only because the country is still not an EBU member and is therefore not allowed to take part in the competition. The title “Un beau matin” (One beautiful morning) sung by Vetty is a parody of the French duo of authors Jacques Martin (text) and Jean Baïtzouroff (music) of the Eurovision competition and the style of the songs presented there. The title can be found as a gag on the 3-CD sampler "Eurovision - Les plus belles chansons françaises" compiled by Patrick Campistron, but also as a winking reminder not to take the Eurovision Song Contest so seriously.
Attendees
Lenny Kuhr , interpreter of the Dutch winner's title, on her return in 1969
Frida Boccara , interpreter of the French winner's title, 1969
Lulu , interpreter of the British title, 1969
This year there were only 16 participants, as Austria decided not to take part because Spain was still a dictatorship at the time.
Voting procedure
The same voting procedure applied as in previous years. In each country there were again 10 jury members who were each allowed to give one vote to a song. The results were communicated by telephone and publicly.
