Reelin’ In The Years 67: Après Toi
Posted in 1970s, Lyrics, Music, Reelin' In The Years at 21:03 on 24 May 2013
I missed marking the Eurovision Song Contest last week so thought I’d make up for it now.
Vicky Leandros, as Vicky, sang L’amour Est Blue in the year Sandie Shaw won the contest, 1967. However she triumphed with this belter in 1972. A song in French by a Greek singer representing Luxembourg. Only at Eurovision.
By the way, is there anyone else who hears a resemblance in the tune for each verse to a certain work composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber?
For some reason it must have been thought no-one in the UK would buy a song with a lyric in French, as Vicky’s UK chart entry came with the reworking of Après Toi as Come What May.
