Power To All Our Friends - Cliff Richard (Eurovision 1973) UK Entry (New to YouTube!) HD Widescreen

Re-recorded and enhanced in HD Widescreen for the first time on YouTube, Eddy's Vinyl Break EVB has created a super high quality stereo recording, which has been presented here by Square Disc. "Power to All Our Friends" is a song by Cliff Richard which was chosen as the British entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 1973, by a postal vote which was decided by BBC viewers after Richard performed six contending songs on A Song For Europe, featured on Cilla Black's BBC1 Saturday evening show Cilla. The runner-up song was "Come Back Billie Jo", written by Mitch Murray and Tony Macaulay, which was included as the B-side on the single. "Power to All Our Friends" came third in the Eurovision Song Contest. It was released as a single in 1973 and reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and became an international hit reaching number one in numerous countries. Richard had previously represented the United Kingdom in 1968 with "Congratulations", which came second. The Eurovision Song Contest 1973 was the 18th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, following the country's victory at the 1972 contest with the song "Après toi" by Vicky Leandros. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion (CLT), the contest was held at the Grand Théâtre on 7 April 1973 and was hosted by German television presenter Helga Guitton. Seventeen countries took part in the contest this year, with Austria and Malta deciding not to participate, and Israel competing for the first time. In a back-to-back victory, Luxembourg won the contest again with the song "Tu te reconnaîtras" by Anne-Marie David. The voting was a very close one, with Spain and "Eres tú" by Mocedades finishing only 4 points behind and the United Kingdom with "Power to All Our Friends" by Cliff Richard (who had come second in 1968 just behind Spain) another 2 points further back. The winning song scored the highest score ever achieved in Eurovision under any voting format until 1975, recording 129 points out of a possible 160, which represented almost 81% of the possible maximum. This was partly due to a scoring system which guaranteed all countries at least two points from each country. The language rule forcing countries to enter songs sung in any of their national languages was dropped this year, so performers from some countries sang in English. Fabulous performance by Cliff, rarely seen these days so I do hope you'll enjoy this wonderful old pop song. Love & Peace and Power to all Our Friends. ‪@thesquaredisc‬
