HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 2009
All Kinds of Everything" was the winning song in the Eurovision Song Contest 1970, written by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith, and sung in English by Dana representing Ireland in Amsterdam.
The result was Ireland's first Contest victory, although it would go on to record six more to become the most successful entrant in the Contest. It was also only the second time that a song in English had won the Contest outright (the first being Sandie Shaw's Puppet on a String, with Lulu's Boom Bang-a-Bang sharing first place one year previously). Phil Coulter, who had co-written "Puppet on a String", took care of the musical arrangement for the Irish entry to the 1970 contest. Ireland chose not to send its own conductor to accompany Dana, so Dolf van der Linden, the renowned musical leader of the Dutch Metropole Orchestra, conducted his own orchestra for the Irish entry.
The song is regarded as one of the stronger Contest entries, and represents a return to the ballad form from the more energetic performances which had dominated the previous years. Dana sings about all the things which remind her of her sweetheart, with the admission at the end of every verse that "all kinds of everything remind me of you".
The song also reached number one in the Irish Singles Chart, and stayed there for nine weeks.
