Some say that the contest took a nose-dive in quality when it moved from monochrome to colour. You can be the judge today with a song from 53 years ago. It was an innocent time of simple sets, orchestras and no ambiguities of any kind. Just a good old night of light entertainment with a well-behaved audience. Jean-Claude Pascal won the contest in Cannes, giving little Luxembourg’s first win. Jean-Claude would have been 87 today.
