Concludes: tomorrow.
Since it began back in 1956, there have been 64 winning
entries in the Eurovision Song Contest. Some have remained timeless and popular
classics, while others, in hindsight, may defy logic. Caffè Lattè lists ten entries
that belong in the latter category…

DORS, MON AMOUR
André Claveau
FRANCE 1958
“Dors, Mon Amour” has earned a place
among Eurovision’s worst winning songs ever mostly because of a renowned
classic that was voted third that same year. Today, André Claveau’s French
entry is forgotten by most, but the Italian song in 3rd position has
remained timeless. To this day, it is the only ESC song to reach #1 in America
(where Eurovision means little). That song was “Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)”,
performed in Italian by Domenico Modugno. The single was the #1 disc of 1958
and won 2 Grammy Awards: Record and Song Of the Year. It is still the all-time most
covered ESC song.
