Remember hearing this first on the original Eurovision,magnificient song and sung beautifully by Vicky but wow how the English version is so lyrically upbeat to the French. Quite amazing.
I was born, and raised, in South Africa; to a scottish mother and Estonian father, and now I reside in the USA - This is a delightful walk down memory lane... thank you...
I think this a great song although I prefer apres toi which sharesthe same music but which I wouldn't consider to be the french version as the words are just too dissimilar. I think that Viki has a truly inspirational voice.
Vicky sang the English version live at the BBC pop proms in March 1976 which was televised from Bellevue Manchester region . She did it on a couple of other shows and on her own show on BBC . Can't swear they were all live but I think so as things were then in UK mostly . She was also on TOTP a couple of times - from memory it wasn't live - not when I saw it anyway - I think they played the recording - I remember her on TOTP in the beige dress with music notes on it - fans will know the one !!!
I REMEMBER WATCHING THE 1972 EUROVISION WHILST IT WAS DISAPPOINTING THAT OUR ENTRY (NEW SEEKERS "BEG, STEAL OR BORROW)CAME 2ND. BUT THIS SONG DEFINITELY DESERVED TO BE THE WINNER (UNLIKE THE SONGS FROM THE EUROIVISION CONTEST OF TODAY - ONCE HEARD SO EASILY FORGOTTEN) ONLY RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT SHE REPRESENTED LUXEMBOURG IN 1967 (LOVE IS BLUE) ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SONG)
She is very alive and well. She made an appearance as a guest in a german talkshow on Friday 28-01-2011. She asked by the hosts of the show about Greek financial crisis (for 10000th time!!!), and she mentioned her decoration by the Grand Duke of Luxemburg for the double participation in Eurovision Song Contest in 1967 and 1972, and of course for her upcoming tour in Germany and Switzerland.
Is that true Dab Andrew?....I was told she died in Paris, hotel room in December 7th 2010...her body taken to St. Micheal hospital...pending police post-mortem...please say your sure my friend?
Paul Kelly used to play this in the New York Bar, Wakefield. ,in the early 80's. It was the best bar ever, 20 years later the old customers still talk about it.
One of the best songs ever to come out of Eurovision. What a contrast to the French version, which is full of despair - this version is full of hope and happiness.
My theme song for my first trip to Europe, knapsack on my back - so long ago in the 70's - and the line "from the moment I met you...." summed up that magical trip when I was only 18 years "now I know..l.."
"you're everything I long for and I long for you to stay." Come What May...
I hope someone will post Vicky doing this song live from the BBC, as I feel certain she's performed it live or singback after winning the ESC with this song. Rumour has it she performed on the Cliff Richard show with this song....?

My top 5 Eurovision songs of all time are:
1 L'amour est bleu Vicky
2 Nocturne Secret Garden
3 Apres Toi Vicky Leandros
4 Waterloo Abba
5 All kinds of everything Dana
Incidentally, the two Vicky songs are the two best selling Eurovision songs worldwide of all time. A fantastic achievement!
