Now that the dust has settled on another fabulous Eurovision

#8
SAVE YOUR KISSES FOR ME
BROTHERHOOD OF MAN
United Kingdom -1976
A group consisting of 2 males
and 2 females named Brotherhood Of Man gave the UK its 3rd win at
Eurovision. The song “Save Your Kisses For Me” is still the best selling of all
winning entries. The single reigned in Britain for 6 weeks and also topped many
European charts. It even reached #1 on the US Adult Contemporary chart. The
victory resurrected the career of a group that had failed to have a hit in
Britain since 1970. Over the next 2 years, Brotherhood Of Man would score a
further 2 #1 singles. This success proved that a Eurovision victory could
change a group’s fortunes.
