Greece 1977 is probably my all time favorite Eurovision entry. I'm so glad that they did great in the contest even though no one thought they would place so high. It's such an amazing entry and in my opinion, should've took 1st! 🇬🇷❤️

It was the favorite of the BBC orchestra. I can see why.

Greece did not want to win at Eurovision 1977 because the Greek public broadcaster ERT said that Greece was reluctant as it did not have a stadium to host the contest.

[@Tenortalker]

The BBC did a great job with this contest and Angela Rippon brought just the right blend of formality / informality even when her ear piece wasn't working and the score board was wrong. She always has had a very warm on screen personality. The songs - what a mixture and how to judge once against the other? Can anyone explain how Israel's song was so underrated? It is a beautiful ballad and Ilanit performed really well. Spain as per usual brought some sunshine and clapping which I liked. I found the Portuguese very moving singing about their country. Lindsey ( RIP- a very sweet lady) & Mike made a great job of Rock Bottom which was a kind of novelty number and so had an unexpectedly high vote. Michelle Torr ( great performance / not so good song) Switzerland also underrated I think. However Marie Myriam and France deserved their win. L'oiseau et l'enfant is a beautiful song that survives the test of time.

[@stevebbuk]

I agree about Angela's classy compering of the show and haven't much to add about the songs, except Ireland were copying Brotherhood of Man and nearly caught us, Austria's song seemed to go on for ten minutes, and Monaco: well Those Were The Days My Friend, weren't they..

[@ingerolsen4471]

Angela Rippon was a horrible bitch, slamming the juries that didn't vote for the UK and ignoring simple counting errors when pointed out to her.

[@cinzanobianco1]

Angela Rippon horrible are you joking she was a great presenter and absolutely beautiful a stunning woman.

[@georgedc1981]

The BBC did a great job with this contest? The contest was delayed for almost a month due to a strike of the technicians/cameramen. Don't like the way Angela was hosting either. Listen how she's talking to the Dutch spokesman when he correctly mentions the error that The Netherlands should have got 6 in stead of 5 points: "look, why don't we let them sort out their problems, you give us your votes". Not very kind is it?

[@Tenortalker]

@@georgedc1981 I wouldn't remember the strike I am afraid , but was referring to the contest on the night which was certainly not the worst Eurovision we have seen, rather good in comparison with some. I suspect that Angela Rippon was receiving instructions from her studio management team to move the voting on. There are always time considerations with a live broadcast let alone an international one. Perhaps she is to the point , but not unkind. In fact I can confirm to you having spent time in her company on a project in France some time ago that she is very good company and thoughtful of others.

Comme dans ce temps, l'Eurovision représentait vraiment quelque chose, nous l'avons regardé en famille, et immédiatement nous avons su que cette chanson allait gagner ...et en prime, quelques temps après j'ai dû l'apprendre à l'école pour la chanter avec toute ma classe devant nos parents, en fin d'année ...

[@ML-sm8zc]

LOL Le concours Eurovision de la Chanson n'a jamais représenté vraiment quelque chose. Les TV nationales ont toujours jouer sur la nationalisme, le chauvinisme du public. La France n'y faisait pas exception. Faut-il rappeler que le ministère de l'information n'avait pas été abolit depuis longtemps. Les commentateurs de ce concours étaient des plus chauvins. Les candidats français avaient systématiquement LA MEILLEURE CHANSON à les entendre, et ils ne cessaient de dénoncer le "VOL" quand la France perdait. J'ai toujours suivi l'Eurovision précisément pour son coté "Kitsch", sa mauvaise foi, les costumes délirants de certains participants, des chansons parfois ridicules et évidemment pour y voir des "incidents". Quand Marie Myriam avait terminé sa performance, j'avais dit "C'est pas avec une autre chanson cul-cul que la France va gagner" Encore aujourd'hui je ne comprends pas que la France ait pu gagner avec une telle chanson, quand elle n'a même pas atteint le top 10 avec des chansons, plus tard, autrement plus représentative de sa culture moderne. Ça reste que depuis 1977 la France n'a pas remporté le trophée du gagnant soit 45 ans !!!! Bien content que vous vous êtes quand même rendu compte que ce concours s'inscrit dans la catégorie divertissement, variétés et non dans la catégorie politique, information, éducation.

Interesting, never knew this.

What a great contest. I started to watch all contests from oldest to newest last month. I thought the 1976 was great, after the somewhat lame 1975 contest. But 1977 was even better. Both 1976 and 1977 had not a single boring song (at least for me). I think it's quite funny hearing UK singing "Where are we? Rock bottom." when they often hit rock bottom in the contest nowadays. Well, I'm from germany, so I can feel their pain.

Great winner ! This a capella intro is just mesmerising . I just heard a podcast in which Marie Myriam explained how terrified she was before getting on stage. She was very young; about to turn 20 that night, at midnight. She had been rehearsing that intro for weeks... But during the official rehearsals, the judges realised that the song was actually 8 seconds too long ... instead of cutting a bit, the French delegation decided to fasten the pace of the song... starting with this a capella ! 😄 She also explained that she literally had to sing the full 3 minutes. There as no break, no bridge, no moment in which the back-up singers would sing without her. She was just relieved she could reach the end, out of breath, but she did it !

R.I.P. Lindsey de Poul. My favorites are France, Italy, Switzerland, UK, and Germany in 1977.

J'avais 8 ans, j'avais adoré la chanson du Luxembourg (j'avais même acheté le 45 tours). Mais en fait, outre qu'elle n'était pas terrible, elle était vraiment ambiguë...

[@anaisanais9461]

Mdr je suis née 21 ans plus tard ! Je suppose que j'étais dans le cosmique à ce moment... Mon père avait 3 ans et ma mère est née un ou deux ans après 😂

[@abfab7830]

C'était pas du tout une chanson pour l'Eurovision. Je l'avais acheté aussi.

[@robertweedon4867]

Just spotted at 0:54 - Ronnie Hazlehurst, the musical director and conductor here, must have adapted that little theme for Big Ben as his theme tune for To the Manor Born (1979-1981).

[@jezt42]

Just spotted that too! A pleasant surprise. :)

[@victortemprana9862]

One of the best contest

germany was just so great that year, so modern!

[@kevinchun5242]

I do like the set the BBC did a good job dispite the strike action. The flags spinning around is rather cool.

[@gittanwaitingforthenexteur4525]

A very show tuney year

[@jackyacoubjackyacoub9087]

thank you

[@Ampex196]

Pete Murray could never hold a candle to Terry Wogan. Terry created a lighter dynamic to the contest which viewers loved. BBC Musical Director, Ronnie Hazlehurst was a lovely man; ... simply the best of 'Gentlemen'.

[@mahf_mahf]

Terry Wogan was terrible . he hurt eurovision so badly with his borderline racist comments, year after year. he managed to convince the Brits that everybody hated them just because the crap song UK was sending did not get any vote. Such a jerk

[@zuvix86]

My favorites: Finland, Norway, Belgium, Uk, Germany, Italy, France, Monaco What the heck was that Austria! 😂😂😂

[@ponyclub3198]

Austria was great!

[@bethanynarz3635]

Austria were awful

[@anthonyfranco88]

Switzerland’s song is sooo good. The vocals blend in so well and the random yodel in the middle was a nice surprise

[@hdagelic]

Very cool intro!

Strong finish with France. She sounded fantastic when it was just her without the instruments. It should have stayed a cappella a little bit longer.

[@SuperJNG18]

Odd how the commentator mentions Eldad Shrem composed and arranged the song, then says he isn't conducting that night...except then he announces him as the conductor!

[@yaniva.7626]

Right? I noticed that as well.

[@SuperJNG18]

76 Yarich Unless he thought “Eldad Shrem” and “Eldad Shrim” were two arrangers with oddly similar names somehow

[@yaniva.7626]

@@SuperJNG18LOL, yeah. I'm guessing it was that extreme coincidence.

[@Botafogoplayground]

Well, the pronunciation of foreign names was awful.

[@Botafogoplayground]

And the text with the title of the Israeli entry was by far the worst of them all. How could the BBC have such an awful lettering? Ilanit once said in a TV program that when her husband saw how the title of the Israeli song appeared on screen, he immediately knew that they hadn't got any chance to win.

[@chrisstahl331]

What a strange points did France give to the other countries..!!! Greece 3 points, Israel 3 points, Austria 1 point, Belgium 1 point..!!!!!

[@ingerolsen4471]

They made a mess of it

[@kaitlinbilous4605]

Opened the champagne early!

[@Texaslawhorn]

The audience looks so bored and over it 😕🤨🤔 It's so different from today's crowd. 🙂☺😆

[@berniedu7185]

All these people where invited. No fans at all or just a few !

[@acintoli]

You shouldn't forget that the program was produced amidst a very long labor dispute at the BBC and ITV. I am sure something was not working properly in the hosting management.

[@henrikasatryan3908]

My 1-12 Points Goes To FRANCE. THE GREAT WINNER!😀💙🧡💛❤
