The 13th Eurovision Song
Contest was held on 6 April 1968 at the "Royal Albert Hall”,
London, UK. Katie Boyle presented the festival and of the 17
participants Massiel won for Spain with "La La La".
Originally Spain entered
Joan Manuel Serrat to sing "La La La", but after his demand
to sing in Catalan Serrat was withdrawn and replaced by Massiel, who
sang the same song in Spanish. It was the first time that the
Eurovision Song Contest was broadcast in colour. Katie Boyle hosted
the contest for a third time.
