Hofburg Palace, Vienna April 8, 1967. Summer of love in California and Beatlesmania in the world but Eurovision stayed pretty much the same. Except Austria that finally changed their artist. For the first time we got glimpses from the greenroom while the voting was on. The first black male artist came from Portugal when Eduardo Nascimento took Portugal to shared 12th place. It was a Sandie Shaw show as expected though and UK scored its very first win finally. She was a big star at that time with six UK top-10 hits to her credit and took one third of the available votes in Vienna. Despite the fact she didn't like her own song at all. Her performance with a hand microphone and barefoot was as group breaking as ABBA or Lordi at the time.
