their crowds go crazy every time.<br /></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #050505;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Their

absolute favourite is <i>Draumur Um Nínu</i>. The Icelandic entry from 1991 (known as

has become the ultimate "beyond Eurovision classic" in Iceland and the crowd singing
along conforms that.<br /></span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #050505;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">They
also did <i>Paper</i>, the 2017 Icelandic entry by Svala Björgvinsdóttir, daughter of Bo.

Above is a lovely coverversion of the Dutch 1968 entry <i>Morgen</i> (Tomorrow), originally by Ronnie Tober.<br />
The coverversion is by The New Faces, a Scottish trio who released a whole range of singles but never made it to the charts.<br />
The band would have been perfect Eurovision material, if you listen to their songs (there's some on Youtube) they're a good mix of 60's beat and cheesy stuff in <i>Puppet On A String</i> style.<br />
Above was uploaded by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MrCharleChalk" target="_blank">Mr Charlie Chalk</a>, recommended Youtuber preserving many almost forgotten songs.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dehongliad Cymraeg Y Fori</span><br />
Welsh Eurovision singer Mary Hopkin recorded the song as <i>Y Fori</i> (Tomorrow).<br />
It first appeared on a 1968 EP <i>Mary Ac Edward</i>, Mary being Mary Hopkin and Edward Edward Morris Jones.<br />
On the EP only the Welsh lyricist was credited (Geiriau Ann Clee)<br />
When it was released on a compilation LP in 1979, <i>The Welsh World Of Mary Hopkin</i>, the composers credited were Friml / Hooker instead of the original Joop Stokkermans, Theo Stengers (and Clee)<br />
And on a later compilation which was probably not very official, <i>Y Fori</i> was categorized as Trad. (Traditional) oh well.<br />
The recording is a bit odd too, it appears to be fading much too early, at 2 minutes, while Mary is still happily singing along. Edward is not on <i>Y Fori</i>.<br />
Other covers on the EP are Welsh versions of <i>Something Stupid</i> and <i>Guantanamera</i>.<br />

Mary Hopkins' biggest hits were <i>Those Were The Days</i> in 1968 and <i>Goodbye in 1969</i>. She also recorded Spanish, German, Italian and French versions of <i>Those Were The Days</i>. (For you language fans)<br />
In 1969 she performed at the Sanremo contest in Italy. All songs were performed twice of which one rendition was by an international singer. Sergio Endrigo's <i>Lontano Dagli Occhi</i> was performed by our Mary. The song finished 2nd.<br />
Mary Hopkin entered Eurovision for the U.K. in 1970, she ended 2nd with <i>Knock, Knock Who's There? </i>and scored another international millionseller.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ronnie Tober</span><br />
Ronnie Tober himself recorded several versions of <i>Morgen</i> and indeed <i>Someday</i> (see below)<br />
A re-recording of the English version (recorded in London) was probably aimed at the U.K. market with a more "British" beat sound than the original.<br />
<i>Morgen</i> ended 16th at the contest (out of 17) with only 1 point (thank you Italy).<br />
He scored 9 top 40 hits in the Netherlands but <i>Morgen</i> wasn't one of them.<br />
His 1965 preselection effort <i>Geweldig</i> (Grrreat) did better (it got to #23) and is probably better remembered than <i>Morgen</i>.<br />
See below for all Ronnie's releases and coverversions of <i>Morgen</i> and the Eurovision tunes Ronnie covered himself.<br />

The 6th Eurovision song contest was held in Cannes, France. A record breaking 16 countries were present and the contest was won by Luxembourg. They hired French singer Jean Claude Pascal to do the job and his <em>Nous Les Amoureux</em> was the first of five Luxembourg victories.<br />
But it's another song I want to rant about a bit here, as several versions have been frequenting my playlists recently.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;">Angelique</span><br />
<em>Angelique,</em> written by Aksel V. Rasmussen, was the Danish entry. Danish Italian Dario Campeotto performed it and ended 5th.<br />
Campeotto recorded the song in Danish, Italian and French and 40 years later also in English.<br />
<em>Angelique</em> is one of the Danish entries that became an evergreen at home but also inspired a few international stars to record the song.<br />
<br />
The song was covered in at least 10 languages with an Estonian version by Kalmer Tennosaar probably being the most exotic.<br />
1958 Eurovision winner André Claveau recorded the song in French for his EP <em>Les Amoureux De Minuit</em> (Pathé Marconi EG 557).<br />
Dario Campeotto himself recorded coverversions of several Italian entries <em>Volare</em> (1958), <em>Piove</em> (1959), <em>Romantica</em> (1960), <em>Al Di Là</em> (1961) and <em>Uno Per Tutte</em> (1963).<br />

I know of two Portuguese versions recorded in Brasil which were both originally released on good old 78 RPM discs.<br />

Ray Franky was a popular singer in Belgium sincejust after WWII and all through the 50's and 60's. He was the first Belgian artist ever who received a golden disc. His most popular song (from 100s) probably was <em>Oh Heideroosje</em> (Oh, Little Heather-rose).<br />
Ray Franky also recorded <em>'n Beetje</em> (Netherlands 1959) and <em>Romantica</em> (Italy 1960).<br />

Of the 44 versions I have listed an impressive 19 are in Finnish (and only 6 in Danish).<br />
I think the oldest of the Finnish ones is from a 7" inch single by <strong>Olavi Virta</strong> (Nor disk ND 16) but the Fins have been singing about <em>Angelique</em> in most decades since that version.<br />
Other Finnish versions are by Matti Asla, Johnny Forsell, Kari Tapio and Raimo Sirkiä. <br />
Olavi Virta also recorded Finnish versions of <em><a href="http://eurocovers.blogspot.com/2007/09/holy-priest-open-stained-glass-window.html">Aprite Le Finestre</a></em>, (Italy 56), <em>Volare</em> and <em>T'En Va Pas</em> (Switzerland 63)<br />

I haven't been able to find much about them, but I did read they were regulars at Moçambique hotels. But they're probably from Rome. And there's five of them.<br />
Their <em>Angelique</em> is a blend of English and Italian and was originally released on the LP <em>I Cinque Di Roma</em> (Parlophone). I just added it here because it's so utterly lovely.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><strong>Colin Day</strong> (one of the Allisons, <a href="http://eurocovers.blogspot.com/2008/08/team-gb-1961-are-you-sure.html">see this Eurocovers post</a>) recorded an English version which was released as a b-side to his single <em>Brasil</em> (Parlophone R 4803).</div><div><br />
There was a version written in the U.S. with lyrics by Dick Loring and Allen Hood for Ardmore Music*, but I don't know if any American singer ever recorded it. (do you?)<br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A Song can
be a bridge, Eurovision fans know that. Die-hard Eurocovers fans also know
Donato Plögert, the German singer, actor, entertainer, multi-talent whose
German language versions of Eurovision Cult classics have earned him a loyal following
among fans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Now the hardest working man in German theater has released a digital album with all of his Eurovision coverversions to date and a few we haven't heard before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">From the
first ones from his 1996 album <i>Eins Blieb Ungesagt </i>up to his version of the
first Portuguese winner <i>Amar Pelos Dois</i> titled <i>Mein Herz Schlägt Für Zwei</i></span>. This man loves Eurovision.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">That last
one may have been a winner, but Donato Plögerts selections are mostly lesser
known fan favorites including some that didn’t do too well at Eurovision (Willeke says hi).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">To be fair, there is quite a bit of Drama and </span>some are an acquired taste. The album can
certainly not be accused of relying on the easy boom bang-a-bangy Eurovision
classics. It's great these songs get a second chance in life. </div>

This coverversion of the 1961 U.K. entry <em>Are You Sure</em> is in the list of coverversions from South Africa. But that’s just because it was recorded when the singer, Jody Wayne lived there.</div>

<span lang="FR" style="mso-ansi-language: FR;">He’s a bit of a global person, our Jody. He was born in Bangalore, India from Canadian parents. He moved to England at three and to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) at 5, Back to England at 10 and back to Rhodesia where he formed the Diamonds with Mike Shannon.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
A move to South Africa was followed by TV jobs as an actor and behind the scenes.<br />
It sounds a bit like a Motown story, but it was while singing while he was working, Jody was discovered by his TV boss. Little Joe and the Travellers were born and they had their own TV show for two years.</div>

I don't want to sell Football short, but music is probably the cornerstone of Brasilian life.<br />
So it's not surprising that many Eurovision songs have found their way to Brasilian singers. From the first contest in 1956 (with at least 3 songs covered in Brasil) to well into the 70's Eurovision songs have been covered by artists from the home of Samba.<br />
About every Italian entry, most of the songs from the U.K. and many of the winners and hits from other countries. Only Portuguese songs seem a bit underrepresented.<br />
<br />
So here's a bit of Brasilian Pop History, mixed with a bit of Paraguay and a touch of Sweden and of course Eurovision songs.<br />
<br />
Perla was born Ermelinda Pedroso Rodriguez d'Almeida in 1952. She was raised in a musical family in Caacupé, Paraguay but she left the family in the early 70's and headed to Rio where she started performing and was soon welcomed as an international attraction.<br />

The first LP was in Spanish but her second album titled <em>Perla</em> was released in both a Portuguese language version and a Spanish language version, catering for the complete latin American market. It includes the first Eurovision cover, but I'll get to that later. It also includes her first hit <em>Estrada do Sol</em>.<br />
Her 1976 album <em>Palavras De Amor</em> was also recorded in two languages and it includes what was probably her biggest hit <em>Fernando</em>, of ABBA fame.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
Productive Perla released an album every year from 1975 to 1982 and sometimes even two, and the ABBA cover formula worked well for her. <em>Chiquitita</em> for example was another of her top hits as <em>Pequenina</em>. Later on she occasionally released an album, often sponsored by her fan club.<br />
Most of her early songs are coverversions of popular hits and her popular ABBA covers were all re-issued on a 2002 CD 50 <em>Perla Canta ABBA E Outros Hits (in Portuguese)</em>. Her version of <em>S.O.S.: Paz De Um Grande Amor</em> is as melancholy as the original and one of the best ABBA covers ever recorded (IMHO of course).</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">An extended version of the <i>Canta ABBA</i> album (also including <i>Livre</i>, see below) is on Spotify and other digital sources. <br />
Perla's more recent work is <em>Perla, Nossas Canções</em> from 2002 (Spanish version <em>Perla, Nuestras Canciones</em> was released in 2003)<br />

You may think Eurocovers is overdoing it a bit with this one, but it's Perla's first Eurocover recorded in 1975, so it's here. It's also the most covered Eurovision entry by Brasilian artists with almost half of the covers I know of it coming from Brasil.<br />
Perla recorded three versions:<br />
Deus Come Te Amo (Portuguese)<br />
<span style="font-size: 85%;">- on EP <em>Perla</em> (RCA 1010143, 1976) and LP <em>Perla</em> (RCA - 1030152, 1975)</span><br />

It's iconic American actress and Charlie's Angel Farrah Fawcett-Majors (1947-2009) doing a coverversion of the Italian 1974 Eurovision entry <i>Si </i>with French singer/actor Jean-Paul Vignon.<br />
Vignon does all the singing but Farrah makes it all amazing by sexy-rapping all over the song like's she's French or something.<br />
This single was already released in 1977 and Farrah Fawcett-Majors was a superstar and still no-one at Eurocovers knew of this gem.
