EUROVISION MEMORIES: Giorgio
EUROVISION MEMORIES
Check back here for a regular look back from the Eurovision archives for some past songs from the last 60 years of the Eurovision Song Contest: the good, the bad & the ugly!

Lys Assia sang Eurovision's first winning song, representing Switzerland in 1956. She returned to defend her title in both 1957 and 1958. Assia finished in 2nd place out of 10 countries with a fun song performed in Italian entitled "Giorgio". It even managed to attract more votes than Italy's entry: "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)" (which came in 3rd) by Domenico Modugno!
