- Vicky Leandros performing "Après Toi" ("After You"), Luxembourg's entry at the 1972 Eurovision Song Contest.
Well, what can I say about such a classic? Long before the contest, everyone considered this a sure favorite, and Vicky's flawless, bigger-than-life performance sealed the deal - thus continuing the early 70s tradition of victories for epic French-language ballads sung by strong female voices, one that had started the year before with Séverine and would carry over to the next year with Anne-Marie David (incidentally, "Après Toi"'s lyricist Yves Dessca had also written "Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue", thus becoming the only person in ESC history with back-to-back wins!). And it was a sort of sweet revenge for Vicky, after having to settle for 4th place in 1967 with "L'Amour Est Bleu" despite, again, being a favorite (legend has it that she didn't want to return to the contest after that, and that it took a lot of begging and a song as strong as this one to change her mind!). Second time was the charm, though, making her the first Greek artist to win the contest, a full 32 years before Helena Paparizou (and the 10 million records she sold with this one didn't hurt, either!).
This is still a great Eurovision winner even after all these years.
To me this is one of the best Eurovision songs ever.
This was easily the best song of the 1972 eurovision contest.....and she sang it to the max. Its a pity she didnt have the international recognition that lesser singers have enjoyed.
Not really. Listen to "I Giorni dell'Arco Baleno". A masterpiece.
The best Eurovision winner and best Eurovision song ever! I got goosebumps as a 9-year old in 1972, and I still gets it now as i write!
Same!
Over 50 years later, and it still sounds amazing.
One of the best Eurovision winners. Superb song and singer.
Clearly the best song ever produced by the euro song contest ever
2018 and it still sounds and is great. My favorite Eurovision winning song. I am from 🇬🇧
Fantastic song, great singer!
Even when i was only 8 years old when i've heard it for the very first time, i still get goosebumps when i hear it today.
Idem… 👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
❤2023 love this song since 1972😊
I still remember clearly watching the Eurovision with my parents that night she won. I knew she would win.
Marie Piekarski wow. i would have loved to watch it live. this song is so powerful.
Marie Piekarski Did you know that she is Greek ?
I was 7. Still remember. :)

Saw it on German TV where we were stationed (We couldn't get AFN-TV there?) along with my family. Remember my parents both commenting that there was no way she wasn't going to win after giving a performance like that one!
Best Eurovision song of all time
one of the best winners of all the times love from Turkey
This performance still blows me away - fantastic
Vicky Leandros...I so remember this winning Eurovision when I was 6, lol! Just fabulous! 😍
All time favourite !
Goosebumps whenever I play this. Amazing voice. Love her to bits.
Stunning lady. Her Voice give me goosebumps.
Greek godess!!
Gives me goosebumps every time...
Still the best Eurovision winner of them all IMO.
After Waterloo, this is the BEST ENTRY EVER in the Eurovision history! ❤️
Wise words! 🤝🤝🤝 i can only agree.
Well, Greece certainly bought alot to this world , Democracy, Moussaka and the VERY sexy Vicki Leandros.... raise a glass with me to a worthy winner who can sing in different languages with passion and talent and back to 1972 when I was 10 and ALL that matters was the eurovision song contest... a GODDESS...!!!
Vicky had the best Eurovision song ever. Love her!

@@bernadettenugent3670 Hi Bernadette. I think this is the best Eurovision song Ever ..Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands 🌷🌷🤗🤗
My favourite from 1972
... and my favourite from Luxembourg ever!
I like the way they just hid the air conditioning unit behind a load of tin foil strips.
Wonderful. That's the reason why I like the Eurovision ♥
This was fantasic, adored this sont, a true and worthy Eurovision winner
Fell in love with both the song and Vicky that night
Me too,
The days when the Eurovision Song Contest had bloody excellent songs.
It still does
@romain reuter if you say so
@@ImStevan nah lol
There were excellent songs back then and now.
I agree, it was that period that the best song, usually won from the 60s and 70s. Or came 2nd. And now next year Eurovision will be in Glasgow or Liverpool.
Eurovision 1972 when the top 7 songs could all be the winner. Great year!
A definite contender for the best ever Eurovision entry.
wonerful voice and talent well done thanks for entertainnment
VICKY LEANDROS "Come What May" or Apres Toi= CLASSIC +
Her father was the driving force behind her singing in Eurovsion, insisting that although he lived in Germany, she sing in French to have the best chance of winning and thus why she represented Luxembourg. BTW, in 72 throughout most Europe the UK, Netherlands & Germany were seen as the clear favourites.
This song and performance really speaks for itself. What beauty an passion! Fabulous song and performance! This was one of those year's when the winner was just obvious, really. Incidentally, did Vicky's success encourage Greece to enter the contest (similar to Live Report's Ray Caruana inspiring the Maltese to return after an extensive break)?
I can't be totally sure, but it's quite possible that it did. From what I know, Vicky's win did get a lot of publicity here in Greece, so perhaps it raised awareness of the contest amd prepared the ground for us giving it a try (not to mention that she must have made it look easy to win the contest - if only we knew!)
I was 7 years old when this won Eurovision. Fell in love with Vicky Leandros. The best ever winner of Eurovision in my opinion.
Severiene
Aah! Brilliant song never tire of it I remember when this was announced the winner. Sitting in the back of my mates Hillman Minx with my then girlfriend Christine Smith - wonder what she is doing now
stunning xxx In awe
In my eyes, she could contest the first place and maybe win any Eurovision Contest any year,
absolutely amazing song, beautiful voice and touching lyrics :)
This brings back such happy memories for me. I was WILLING her to win. I loved this.
@@marycurtin2746 hi Mary like wise about Happy memories' I knew Vicky would win cuz she sang so well n powerful with the high notes although I was rooting for The new Seekers especially Lynn... also did you like Dana ..Kind regards, Glynn n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands 🤗🤗

Great Song Great Singer Great Winner love it !
Still strong !
Memories.....
Classic pop tune up there with Hand in glove by The Smiths... and i mean that
Does anyone have an English version of this song on video? I remember this song from when I was (a lot)younger and I'm glad I've an English version on my mp3 as it's great!
I think the English Version was called 'Come What May' if that helps. As I recall,she did this song in French (as here) German,English,Italian and of course in her native Greek?
The Year where Eurovision was about music.
Une victoire largement méritée !bravo le Luxembourg!sans doute parmi les plus belles chansons gagnantes du Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson.
é muito bonita essa musica eu na estava na europa nesse ano, mas lembro de a ouvir cantar
menudo chorro de cancion, es de las canciones mas bonitas que he escuchado en mi vida.
Gosh, i had forgotten what a great song this was. Well done, another Greek girl - they can sing that's for sure. Luxembourg won it again
