Jun 12: A song from your pre-teen years

So this has to be something from before the end of 1976, when I turned 13.

Thinking back, I'd not bought many singles by then, so it's probably going to have to be this one, which I remember from when it won Eurovision.

This was back in 1974. The British entry was sung by Olivia Newton John.


This was hosted at the Brighton Dome. I've seen a few bands there since, including Sigur Rós.

The competition was much smaller back then and voting was done very differently. And of course Australia hadn't moved to Europe back then...

The details of who voted for who are outlined on the Wikipedia entry for the competition. These days there is a very geographical pattern to where votes are cast...
