Eén van de mooiste inzendingen ooit voor het Eurovisiesongfestival dat jammer genoeg 2e eindigde. Waar is de tijd, dat waren nog eens festivals met echte kippevelmomenten....
Pour toi, Papa avec le plus bel amour chanté par Jean Vallée, tu es décédé le 28 juin 1.977 , tu n'as donc pas connu cette chanson mais je sais que tu aimais ce très bel artiste! Ta fille chérie
For this jewel of a song was utter highway robbery. You have to really feel sorry for Belgium (similar to Portugal) that they always underpreformed in the voting only down the years in the history of Eurovision. To be beaten by the song from lsrael just hit home to most of true music lovers that quality and merit do not always prevail. A great shame but thank you Belgium for this beautiful classic which will live on for ever for me.
I'm with EscBelgium111 too - one of the very best Eurovision songs ever, and extremely unlucky to lose to a much more childish entry. Without question they shouldn't have had to wait another eight years!
I adore the way the song just keeps building and building to that big crescendo, and Jean's performance is superb.
The other good thing is that after rarely setting my ESC scoreboard on fire, this song kicks off a decade where Belgium hardly miss being in my top ten.
Well, that's actually true, 1977-1984 saw an amazing run of Belgian entries in my book. This isn't one of my favourites though I definitely recognise it as a good song. I love their entries from 1980, 1983 and 1984, as well as 1977.
@setheurovision94 In 1984 Belgium sent a fabulous entry to the ESC and although there were other good ones (Portugal, Spain, Denmark, and Italy with who Belgium shared Place 5) Those two could have shared place 1, too, Sweden was not good that year, not even a good one.
Great song, and I agree with EscBelgium111 that this would have deserved to win. Perhaps it sounds a bit old-fashioned now, 30 years later, but it's still beautiful.
Kudos for uploading in this excellent quality, Seth! But, - once again - we don't agree with each other. This is my personal favourite Belgian eurovision entry and even one of the best eurovision songs imo. Shame that it didn't win (because I think A Ba Ni Bi was one of the most undeserved winners ever)
By far the best Belgium entry

Merveilleuse chanson elle illumine
nos petits émois,à l'entendre encore
aujourd'hui, elle comble les coeurs
Ensemble nous l'avons chantée Maman
C'est un doux souvenir.
Merveilleux artiste ce Jean vallée

A great, timeless anthem to love, written in the tradition of those great ballads in French language that we unfortunately miss a lot nowadays.

Lindo,não sei porquê faz-me lembrar Jacques Brel, talvez pelo tom de voz e os acordes melodiosos similares aos das canções do grande cantor-poeta.
