In 1997 MARC ROBERTS represented IRELAND at the Eurovision song contest. He performed a song called MYSTERIOUS WOMAN and reached the second position behind Katrina and the waves. Marc recorded a CD with JOHN DENVER songs and we are featuring one of them, TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS
2007 when the contest was held in Helsinki, Finland, the Czech republic made its début. They participated just 3 times and then withdrew, only to return this year in Vienna. But a Czech singer sang for AUSTRIA in 1968 with a song composed by UDO JURGENS called TAUSEND FENSTER. What is the name of this singer? He is the most known of all Czech singers and a couple of years ago celebrated his 70th birthday and a CD set with his 70 biggest hits were released. There songs are in the Czech language and some interesting ones are
Delilah of Tom Jones in Czech
El condor paza of Simon & Garfunkel in Czech
Let your love flow of Bellamy brothers in Czech
Mandy of Barry Manilow in Czech
Love me tender of Elvis Presley in Czech
Annie’s song of John Denver in Czech
Unfortunately NO euro cover but is is still interesting to hear these songs in a very exotic language byone if the world’s best singers (in my opinion).
