The twelfth Eurovision
Song Contest was held on 8 April 1967 at the "Großer Festsaal
der Wiener Hofburg", Vienna, Austria. Erika Vaal presented the
festival and of the 17 participants Sandie Shaw won for the United
Kingdom with "Puppet on a String". The song had one of the
widest margins of victory ever witnessed in the competition; it
garnered more than twice as many votes as the second place song. It
was the first victory for the United Kingdom.
The entry from Luxembourg,
"L'amour est bleu", sung by Vicky Leandros (fourth place),
became the biggest international hit of the 1967 contest. Denmark did
not participate and left the contest until 1978. Eduardo Nascimento,
representing Portugal, was the first black male singer in the history
of Eurovision Song Contest.
