#19

HALLELUJAH

Milk & Honey with Gali Atari

ISRAEL - 1979

12 POINTS FROM: Portugal; Norway; Sweden; Ireland; United Kingdom; & Finland.

Jerusalem was the host city in 1979 following Israel’s win in the previous year. As the final votes were distributed, “Hallelujah” stepped out into the lead, resulting in a second consecutive Israeli victory. The song is very catchy and a standout from many of the previous Eurovision winners.
