However it was Spain that really stole the show in 1969 coming in joint first place with Salome’s Vivo Cantando. She epitomised 60’s swing, rock and roll spirit with her chinchilla fringe inspired outfit and increasingly frenetic Thunderbirds marionette dance moves. A Eurovision legend was born and Salome continues to live on in Eurovision dreams and nightmares alike.  She closes the decade as the epitome of everything 60’s from the hair that dared to defy gravity to theluminous lurid aqua marine velour flair of her unforgettable costume which surely must  be a national treasure hidden away somewhere in the vaults of the kingdom of Spain. Viva Espagne!

As we close the 60’s with Salome stay tuned to esctoday.com for a look back at how the 70’s influenced a decade of The Eurovision Song Contest.
