Eurovision Song Contest 1972 (Full Show)

The Eurovision Song Contest 1972 was the 17th annual Eurovision Song Contest.

It was held in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom. Although Monaco had won the previous year's contest and thus had the rights to host, the principality was unable to meet the demands of hosting the event. On 31 January 1972, Rainier III of Monaco received a letter from the European Broadcasting Union about holding the 1972 Eurovision in the principality, he was unable to provide a venue, the props and the remainder of the requirements. He declined the opportunity in February 1972.

Séverine made the trip to the Scottish capital Edinburgh to pass on the 'Grand Prix' to Vicky Leandros. However, she looked thoroughly uninterested in the Monegasque entry when seen by viewers checking her watch before the song was performed.[1] This marked the fourth time that the contest was held in the United Kingdom. However, this is the first (and, so far, only) time that the UK hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in a venue outside England.

Luxembourg's win was their third. Yves Dessca also wrote the text for "Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue" that won in 1971, and other than conductors of the winning song, became the second person to win the Contest twice, the first person to win for two different countries and the first person to win two years in a row.
