POUPEE DE CIRE, POUPEE DE SON
FRANCE GALL
Luxembourg- 1965
It took a decade, but France Gall’s win at Eurovision finally saw a hip and modern pop song claim first prize. The teen from Paris represented Luxembourg with a song penned by Serge Gainsbourg. The title translates into “wax doll, singing doll” in English. This was the 2nd win for Luxembourg. More significantly, it proved a modern song could win at Eurovision. Sandie Shaw proved this was no fluke 2 years later. Today, that formula is taken for granted.
