NUSA DERENDA – SLOVENIAN COVER QUEEN
During the on-going work on our project of searching for Eurovision covers in other languages by other artists, we came across Slovenian singer Nusa Derenda yesterday. She represented Slovenia at Eurovision in 2001 with the song ENGERY. We never knew she has performed so many Eurovision covers and last night listened/watched to several, among them Sweden 1999 (Take me to your heaven), Luxembourg 1972 (Apres toi), Sweden 1974 (Waterloo) and Germany 1982 (Ein bisschien frienden). It seems she concentrated on previous winners. Ein bisschien frieden was especially interesting with the song being partly in German and partly in Slovenian.
Each cover will be individually highlighted in the coming days – in our Eurovision cover series.
100 RALPH SIEGEL SONGS – SONG 25 (Bye bye bye little butterfly)
We must admit that before starting this series, this song was totally unknown to ESC Covers. Waterloo & Robinson from Austria participated in the 1976 with MY LITTLE WORLD but this is probably their only song composed by Ralph Siegel.
100 RALPH SIEGEL SONGS – SONG 24 – Fiesta Mexicana
Rex Gildo had his first hit in the German charts in 1960. In 1973 he released FIESTA MEXICANA which went to number 5 on the German chart but stayed there 29 weeks – the longest any of his many songs stayed on the charts.
