Love enough for two - United Kingdom 1980 - Eurovision songs with live orchestra

[@synthtracks2]

I wish I relived those years When music was so beautiful and life looked much simpler

[@TorkG8]

It really was. I want a Time Machine.

[@donrevie721]

Wonderful sweet , mildly upbeat song , great melodies...inspiring and uplifting..impossible to feel sad watching this.

[@elaineprescott3972]

One of my all-time favourite Eurovision songs. Love it still! ❤

[@PaulTaylor1]

If cuteness and enthusiasm could win Eurovision, Sally Ann Triplett would have walked it! 🥰

[@annoldham3018]

The lead singer was married to Eve Graham from the new seekers. He was in the band for a short time too. He sadly passed away un 2016.

[@Michalis2m]

There’s nothing guilty about getting so much pleasure out of it, i mean, it was the onset of the 80’s, it just went with the flow. Love it!

[@janeslater8004]

This was always one of my favourites but didnt do very well. The lead male singer passed away a couple of years ago and the male singer with moustache is jay aston of bucks fizz brother

[@peterkirby3175]

I don't think this song ever really had a chance of winning, it just isn't strong enough, or even appealing enough to typical Eurovision audiences.... but you are spot on about Johnny Logan!

what a refreshing memory ; spring 1980 I was 14 and they should by far have won !! love from France

Well remember this. I was 18. Wow! 44 years ago 😮

[@raywoodman5084]

Written by Stephanie de Sykes who was born with a smile on her face. Sadly this didn't win but it still is a very catchy tune and today most would call it a guilty pleasure.

[@TrumptonMayor]

I feel no guilt to anyone lol

[@justinhillenburg9286]

Johnny Logan deserves his win in 1980, but this song is very deserving of second.

Sally Ann Triplett was all of 17 at the time and just as adorable as two years later, when she and Stephen Fischer, as Bardo, went and tried again, but came up short. Sally Ann made a fine career for herself on the West End in London and Broadway in the US.

You are so right I've just listened to maggie moons song I dont know how we can both remember it because it wasn't played that much on the radio because it didnt make the Eurovision or the charts so how is it that we remember it ?

I was in charge of the milk at a convenience store one summer, and one of the types of cheese was called Prima Donna. The universe has a great sense of humor sometimes. XD

The Milk Monitor. A torrid story of how one convenience store worker controlled the calcium intake of an entire community. Must have been a f*** off big convenience store if there was a role “in charge of milk”. My local Co-op has three or four people working most of the time. Not sure any of them are “in charge of milk”. Do you list that role on LinkedIn?

Is it just me, or are the only mics switched on Danny Finn's (lead) and the two sisters? I can't hear any other male backing, and the female "lead"'s is definitely not on. The BBC around this time did bend the rules and put extra backings backstage (both '83 and particularly '84 where the two onstage backings basically did nothing).
