This contest was postponed for five weeks due to a strike of the BBC cameraman and technicians. It was supposed to be held on April 2nd. 18 participants entered a song, Sweden returned (finishing last) while Yugoslavia withdrew. At first Tunisia was supposed to participate as well (they were drawn as 4th) but they withdrew in the end. After 3 happy pop songs a lyric ballad won, it came from France. The well-known names for this year were Silver Convention and Lynsey de Paul. The United Kingdom reached the top 4 for the 11th consecutive time. The rule that a country had to use his native language was introduced again but because Belgium and Germany had already chosen an English-languaged song, they were allowed to have it performed in English after all.
