I'll listen to some Abba, in tribute to their history Eurovision song win, 40 years ago today:



Quote
Abba's Eurovision win in Brighton remembered 40 years on
By Libby Sutcliffe
BBC News, Sussex

It is 40 years since Abba won the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton - a victory that started their meteoric rise to super group status with millions of fans around the globe.

When the four-piece stepped on to the stage accompanied by a man dressed as Napoleon to deliver their country's entry for the competition, they were virtually unknown.

The audience at the 1,700-seat Brighton Dome on 6 April, 1974, had no idea how huge the Swedish group, which performed Waterloo, would become. Most of them were concentrating on the UK entry - Olivia Newton John with her song Long Live Love.

John Henty, who lives in Lewes, East Sussex, was one of those watching and describes the instant impact the band had on the crowd.

He said: "Nobody knew Abba. Who were Abba? They were an unknown quantity.

"But clearly the moment they went into the number and the style of it and the outrageous costumes and the guy wearing Napoleon gear and you suddenly thought, 'this is something'."

I always thought Newton John was Australian.

I believe she is. Celine Dion also also participated once, representing Switzerland.

Not sure how Russian TV will handle this homosexual propaganda. :lol:



The song isn't too bad, though, in a Bond theme style.

My first remembered one is 74 with Abba. I knew as soon as they'd finished, I'd seen something good, special compared to the rest of eurovision that year and I'd seen up till then.  :)
