Eurovision Song Contest: I won it in 1967 having written Puppet On A String, I came second in 1968 having written Congratulations, in 1970 I won it again as a producer and publisher of All Kind of Everything for Dana.’‘So in 1974, with that kind of track record, that was a time when I knew what was going on in Eurovision Song Contest.

I would have had a clear opinion and a very informed opinion when I listened to the songs which song had a chance and which song had no chance.

Not any more mind you!’‘In 1974 I was approached by the country of Luxembourg. Why Luxembourg I hear you ask? Luxembourg is a tiny country but it has a reach in terms of media far outweighing its size because of RTL Télé Lëtzebuerg, they transmit television and radio.
