Very good song though a rather poor performance, but she deserved a better placing ! Anyway, you have too listen the excellent lyrics by Boris Bergman, one of the most brilliant lyricist in France ever who wrote many songs for "intellectual singers" in France. It's quite unusual to find him in Eurovision, but it's fine !

Very nice song, nice performance, but her voice was weak.

[tamtran0208]

@ver4live her voice wasn't weak , just because she didn't hold the microphone in her hand

This song should have definitely won first place, even though it was sang back in the sixties it's still brings me so much joy, happiness, pleasure, a feeling of euphoria and contentment every time I listen to it and I never get bored listening to it.

Une chanson c'est une lettre Monaco 1975, is one of my favorite Eurovision songs, very memorable with such a beautiful melody that stays in my mind for days

[ZLUGGO]

It's unforgettable. I' ve remembered it throughout the years. Many of the Monaco contributions were quite catchy indeed.

"La vie est un sommeil, l'amour en est le rêve, et vous aurez vécu si vous avez aimé."

Netherlands won, but this should have been the runner up.

Best song and best singer that I ever heard

Did she win, by the way?

she should, she is an excellent singer

[zaragon59]

excuse me, but you simply have GOT to be kidding????? You call her an "excellent singer"???? I wouldn't trust her to sing a lullaby for my neighbours kittens!

That Sophie performing for Monaco is called Sophie Hecquet. She started as a teenager a singing career in France in the sixties. She worked as an anouncer in Télé Monte-Carlo.

The Sophie singing in 1968 with Chris Baldo is another one. She is called Sophie Garel. She never was a profesional singer. Then she was working as a speaker for RTL(French channel)radio and the RTL management decided to convince Sophie to join the "shy" Chris Baldo to help him performing during the show.

@ DidaDragen:

I think you mean Luxembourg and yes it's the same Sophie :)

[DidaDragan]

Did she sing for Monaco previously in about '68 ?

[Mietzal]

[mastik36]

What happen to her?

[radioglas]

She worked at Radio Monte Carlo and Tele Monte Carlo untill 1979. After some problems, she moved to RTL in Luxembourg. She retired in 1995.
