NE PARTEZ PAS SANS MOI – CELINE DION – SWITZERLAND 1988
Several weeks ago I started to post about a Eurovision song with an original version and at least two covers. As ESC Covers is a COVERS website, one of two covers of the original song will be posted.
The 19th song is from 1988. It is NE PARTEZ PAS SANS MOI by CELINE DION for SWITZERLAND. 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 NE PARTEZ PAS SANS MOI – CELINE DION – SWITZERLAND 1988

THE LAST EPISODE OF R S G SERIES ON THE SONGS FROM THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
The 13th episode started at 18.16 on Sunday 24 September. Elsje van Jaarsveld presented it while Ilse Schurmann wrote the text and produced the show. Technical production is by Wihan Nel. Due to the world cup rugby match between South Africa and Scotland on Sunday 10 September the 11th episode fell by the wayside and so although this should have been episode 13, it is episode 12. Sadly, the last one in the series. Continue reading THE LAST EPISODE OF R S G SERIES ON THE SONGS FROM THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
