At Eurovision
edit
Riva was the twenty-second and last performer on the night of the Contest, following Germany. Their song "Rock Me" won the contest with a score of 137 points.[1] However, according to author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor in The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History it was a very unexpected win and BBC TV commentator Terry Wogan described it as "the death knell" for the contest.[2]
- ^ Due to technical issues during the performance, Trio Rona was allowed to perform again after all the performances.
- ^ Conductor for Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1967 and 1975
