The 14th song is from 1983. It is ESTA BALADA QUE TE DOU by ARMANDO GAMA for PORTUGAL. I started at 1970 and each day I will move one year. I will go on until there is hopefully one for each year that follows and then return back to 1970. Continue reading ESTA BALADA QUE TE DOU – PORTUGAL 1983

BONNIE TYLER HAS PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 75
Norbert from thefacebook MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC prepared this for ESC COVERS on the death of BONNIE TYLER.
Singer Bonnie Tyler (8 June 1951 – 8 July 2026) has died at the age of 75. Her family announced the news on her website on Thursday. “Bonnie’s family and team are heartbroken to announce that she passed away unexpectedly last night in a hospital in Portugal,” the statement read. She had been undergoing treatment there.
Tyler, originally from Skewen in South Wales, was placed in an induced coma in early May following emergency bowel surgery. When she woke from the coma a few weeks later, her spokesperson provided an update: “Bonnie is no longer in a coma but remains seriously ill. Her doctors are confident she will make a full recovery, though it will take time.” Tyler’s shows scheduled through August were postponed, though her management had anticipated that she would perform again in the autumn.
In 2013, the singer represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö with the song “Believe in Me.” She rose to fame with hits such as “It’s a Heartache” and “Lost in France,” and also achieved international renown with songs like “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and “Holding Out for a Hero.” Bonnie Tyler is survived by her husband, Robert Sullivan, to whom she had been married for over fifty year.
