Jean Philippe performing "Le Retour" ("The Return"), the Swiss entry at the 1962 Eurovision Song Contest.

Jean Philippe's second appearance at the contest (he'd represented France in 1959, finishing 3rd) was less successful than his first - 10th place with 2 points - although, to be honest, I personally like this memorable dramatic ballad more than "Oui, Oui, Oui, Oui". I'm not a big fan of his performance, though... Btw, the song's writers, Géo Voumard and Émile Gardaz, wrote quite a few of the early Swiss entries, including the contest's very first winner "Refrain" - and would also come very close to winning the following year with the excellent "T'En Vas Pas".

  • A nice dramatic orchestration, nothing special though. I understand why you don't like the performance, it doesn't fit the song.
