Having failed to participate in the inaugural Eurovision 1956 due to missing the entry deadline, the UK had made a disappointing Eurovision debut at Eurovision 1957 with the UK entrant "All" by Patricia Bredin finishing seventh in a field of ten: no recording had been made of "All" and the UK had not participated in Eurovision 1958. The second place showing of "Sing, Little Birdie" at Eurovision 1959 was the first evidence of the UK being a potent force at Eurovision: four subsequent UK Eurovision entrants would take second place at the contest finals before the UK would score its first Eurovision victory at Eurovision 1967 with "Puppet on a String" by Sandie Shaw.
