The 5th Eurovision
Song Contest was held on Tuesday 29 March 1960 at the Royal Festival
Hall in London, United Kingdom. Katie Boyle presented the festival
and of the 13 participants Jacqueline Boyer won for France with "Tom
Pillibi". It was France's second win, in 1958 France won the
contest with "Dors, mon amour" performed by André Claveau.
Although the
Netherlands had won the contest in 1959 (Teddy Scholten with "Een
beetje"), the Netherlands Television Foundation (NTS) declined
to host another contest so soon after staging the event in 1958 after
the 1957 victory with Corry Brokken performing "Net als toen".
Norway participated for the first time and Luxembourg returned to the
contest after a one-year break.
