Eurovision 1962 - Sweden

Inger Berggren performing "Sol och Vår" ("Sun and Spring"), the Swedish entry at the 1962 Eurovision Song Contest.

After four old-fashioned ballads in a row (Belgium, Spain, Austria and Denmark), people must have been relieved to hear something more upbeat - and, without being among that year's or Sweden's best, this is a fun, chirpy tune with winking lyrics and a relaxed performance by Inger (though she could have done without those "pa-ra-ra"'s in the bridge). Overall, a song that I personally like.

Wow, thanks for the really AMAZING quality of the video and indeed one of the best songs in the early years. But Tasos, is there a chance that you'll upload 'Un Premier Amour'?? Really looking forward to that...

[tasosk3]

In fact, yes, I'll be uploading it in the next few days. Just stay tuned, and have a little patience - since I personally find it impossible to keep your own amazing speed at posting videos! :-)

Old songs always make me happy lol

I must really thank you tasosk for putting this video in such a great quality, since it's my favorite from '62 and absolutely underrated one- it always moves me a lot! I can't understand why juries didn't love it.

The Eurovision Song Contest were better before than to today. I prefer the Eurovision Song Contest from the 80's and earlier.

Danke für diese wunderbare Aufnahme!

Man muss sich mal vorstellen: ich hörte dieses Lied zum ersten Mal in Tallinn in estnischer Sprache von der großartigen Künstlerin Heli Lääts... und jetzt seh ich plötzlich hier, dass es im Original ein schwedisches Lied war...

Tack saa mycket!!!

No Tasos, I actually love the pa-ra-ra's!
