Eurovision 1976 - Belgium

Pierre Rapsat performing "Judie et Cie" ("Judie and Co."), the Belgian entry at the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest.

A wonderful, deeply melancholic tune in the style of French-language ballads of that era (it's esp. reminiscent of Jacques Brel, I think), and a deserved 8th place - along with Italy, the highest-ranked ballad in a year where uptempo songs ruled the field.

The best Belgian song in the contest ever. And together with Yugoslavia the same year among the best of Eurovision.

Hello, I am Belgian and I can say to you that this excellent singer was very known in Belgium and wrote full of magnificent songs in French; he regrettably died some years ago and I regret him a lot...
