EUROVISION MEMORIES: A Force De Prier
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!
A FORCE DE PRIER
Nana Mouskouri
[1963 – Luxembourg]

Greek singer Nana Mouskouri raised her profile with her performance at Eurovision in 1963. She performed the classy French ballad "A Force De Prier" ("the power of prayer") for Luxembourg. Despite the powerful delivery, the song only managed 8th place out of 16 participants. That nation was an early dominant force in the ESC but has sadly been absent since 1994. Talk of a return will hopefully come to fruition. Luxembourg secured 5 Eurovision victories. Only Sweden and Ireland have won more.
