EspañolEUROVISION SONG CONTEST 1958
The 'Eurovision Song Contest 1958' was the third Eurovision Song Contest. The convention that the winning country from a year hosted the following year's contest was introduced in this year. France's win was their first. It was the last time to date that the United Kingdom did not enter (apart from the 2006 Junior Eurovision Song Contest). Unlike the competitions in 1956 and 1957, countries were now limited to entering a single song, which has remained the policy to date.
The juries were not in the studio like in 1956. Like in 1957, this year they stayed in their own countries, listening to the event. Once the songs had all been sung, juries sent their results via telephone. The Italian entry was not picked up properly in some of the other countries, which meant that after all the other songs had been presented, Domenico Modugno had to sing it again. Later on, it became very successful in the United States, where it has become commonly known as Volare, and got two Grammy Awards. It is one of few ESC songs that has reached #1 at the US singles charts. At the 50th aniversary show "Congratulations" in 2005, it was elected the 2nd best ESC entry ever.
The interval acts was music by the Metropole Orkest, under the lead of conductor Dolf van der Linden. This year, there were two interval acts; one in the middle, one after all the songs were played.
France won the contest for the first time.
