The Eurovision Song Contest 1957 was the second edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest . It took place in Frankfurt-am-Main , West Germany and was held at the Großer Sendesaal des hessischen Rundfunks on Sunday 3 March 1957 . The show was hosted by German actress Anaid Iplicjian . Like the first edition of the contest , this one was still mainly a radio programme , but there was a noticeable increase in the number of people with televisions . The winner was the Netherlands with the song Net als toen , performed by Corry Brokken , written by Willy van Hemert and composed by Guus Jansen . This was the Netherlands ' first victory in the contest . For some time , a rumour had existed that the privilege of hosting the 1957 contest was given to Germany because they had come in second place in 1956 with Im Wartesaal zum großen Glück by Walter Andreas Schwarz . In fact , not only were the official 1956 scores withheld , but the rule stating that the winning nation hosts the next year 's Eurovision Song Contest had not yet been conceived . It was planned at the time that each participating country would take it in turns to host the event . However , as more countries wished to participate , this became impractical .
Skibet skal sejle i nat ( The ship is leaving tonight ) was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1957 , performed in Danish by Birthe Wilke and Gustav Winckler and consequently the first time Danish was heard in the Eurovision . The song was performed ninth on the night , following France 's Paule Desjardins with La belle amour and preceding Switzerland 's Lys Assia with L'enfant que j'étais . At the close of voting , it had received 10 points , placing 3rd in a field of 10 . The song is a love duet , with the singers parting before one of them takes a sea voyage on the ship of the title . Additionally , the song is famous for the kiss the duo exchanged at the end of the performance - the longest stage kiss in Contest history , made so by a stagehand omitting to signal for it to end . While the Contest was still predominantly a radio show at the time , the conservative social mores ensured that this event has entered Eurovision folklore . Indeed , at the late 2005 Congratulations special , hosts Katrina Leskanich and Renars Kaupers pretended to re-enact it , only to have Wilke herself appear between them . It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1958 Contest by Raquel Rastenni with Jeg rev et blad ud af min dagbog .
Birthe Wilke ( born 19 March 1936 ) is a popular Danish singer . She grew up in a musical family in Copenhagen 's Vesterbro area .
Gustav Frands Wilzeck Winckler ( 13 October 1925 - 20 January 1979 ) was a popular Danish singer , composer and music publisher . He grew up in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen and started his career as a decorator . In 1948 as a young man he won a talent competition at National Scala Theatre in Copenhagen , as well as many others in Copenhagen . He was often compared to Bing Crosby . He finally broke through in 1950 with engagements , regular appearances on Danmarks Radio and his first professional recording . Through the 1950s he recorded and toured in Denmark , Germany ( under the name Gunnar Winkler ) and England ( under the name Sam Payne ) . In 1957 after qualifying in the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix to represent Denmark at the Eurovision Song Contest , he participated in Eurovision Song Contest 1957 , where he sang Skibet skal sejle i nat ( The ship is leaving tonight ) with Birthe Wilke . They ranked number 3 , and stunned television audiences with a 13-second-long kiss at the end of their performance . He participated in the Danish Melodi Grand Prix twice afterwards - in 1964 with Ugler i mosen , and then in 1966 with Salami . He died in a car crash in 1979 . His brother Jørgen Winckler also recorded songs in the 1950s and early 1960s .
The Eurovision Song Contest 1959 was the fourth edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest . It took place in Cannes , France , following André Claveau 's win at the 1958 contest in Hilversum , Netherlands with the song Dors , mon amour . It was the first time France hosted the event . The contest was held at Palais des Festivals et des Congrès on Wednesday 11 March 1959 , and was hosted by Jacqueline Joubert . Eleven countries participated in the contest . Monaco made its début this year , while Luxembourg decided to withdraw . The United Kingdom returned after their absence from the previous edition . The winner was the Netherlands with the song Een beetje , performed by Teddy Scholten , written by Willy van Hemert and composed by Dick Schallies . This was the Netherlands ' second victory in the contest , following their win in 1957 - marking the first time a country had won more than once . Willy van Hemert also wrote the first Dutch winner that year .
Uh , jeg ville ønske jeg var dig ( Oh , I 'd wish I were you ) was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1959 , performed in Danish by Birthe Wilke . The song was performed second on the night , following France 's Jean Philippe with Oui , oui , oui , oui and preceding Italy 's Domenico Modugno with Piove ( Ciao , ciao bambina ) . At the close of voting , it had received 12 points , placing 5th in a field of 11 . The song is a love ballad , in which Wilke sings about how much she wishes she were her lover . She then describes how she would love herself in this situation , including asking for her own hand in marriage . It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1960 Contest by Katy Bødtger with Det var en yndig tid .
The Eurovision Song Contest 1961 was the 6th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest . It took place in Cannes , France , following Jacqueline Boyer 's win at the 1960 contest in London , United Kingdom with the song Tom Pillibi . It was the second time that France had hosted the contest ; the first being in 1959 - also in Cannes . The contest was held at Palais des Festivals et des Congrès on 18 March 1961 and was the first to take place on a Saturday night , a tradition that has continued into modern times . The show was hosted by Jacqueline Joubert . Sixteen countries participated in the contest - three more than in the previous edition ; Finland , Spain and Yugoslavia all made their début this year . The winner was Luxembourg with the song Nous les amoureux , performed by Jean-Claude Pascal , written by Maurice Vidalin , and composed by Jacques Datin . This was Luxembourg 's first victory in the contest , with the United Kingdom finishing in second place for the third consecutive year . As the contest overran its allocated time , and the show was being broadcast live , the winning song 's reprise was not shown in the UK .
Angelique was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1961 , performed in Danish by Dario Campeotto . The song was performed thirteenth on the night , following Norway 's Nora Brockstedt with Sommer i Palma and preceding Luxembourg 's Jean-Claude Pascal with Nous les amoureux . At the close of voting , it had received 12 points , placing 5th in a field of 16 . The song is a love ballad directed towards the title character , with Campeotto singing about the various things he would do for her if he had the skill - such as writing poetry if he were William Shakespeare or playing the violin if he were Yehudi Menuhin . He explains , however , that the Muses said no to his attempts to master the arts ( including singing , unusually for a professional singer ) , so he is simply dreaming about her . It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1962 contest by Ellen Winther with Vuggevise .
Dario Campeotto ( born 1 February 1939 ) is a Danish singer , actor , and entertainer . He was born in Frederiksberg , Copenhagen to Italian parents , Emma and Ernesto Campeotto . He started performing at the age of ten , but his breakthrough was a victory in the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in 1961 with the song Angelique , which went on to finish fifth in the Eurovision Song Contest . Following Angelique , Dario Campeotto released a number of records , starred in theatrical play , operettas , revues , and movies .
The Eurovision Song Contest 1963 was the eighth annual Eurovision Song Contest . The contest was held in London , United Kingdom , after the British broadcaster BBC stepped in to organise the event . France had won the 1962 edition with the right to host this following one but were unable to , due to financial shortcomings . The contest was won by Denmark with the song Dansevise , performed by Grethe & Jørgen Ingmann . Denmark 's win was their first . Four countries got nul points , with Finland , Norway and Sweden failing to score any points for the first time and The Netherlands for the second time , becoming the first country to go two years in a row without scoring a single point .
Dansevise ( English title : I loved you ; English translation : Dance song ) was the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1963 performed in Danish by Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann representing Denmark . This was the first entry performed by a duo to win the Contest and also the first Scandinavian winner . The song was performed eighth on the night , following Finland 's Laila Halme with Muistojeni laulu and preceding Yugoslavia 's Vice Vukov with Brodovi . At the close of voting , it had received 42 points , thus winning from a field of 16 . The song is a moderately up-tempo tune in which the singer hymns the praises of dancing , specifically with her beloved friend . The song was succeeded as contest winner in 1964 by Gigliola Cinquetti performing Non ho l'età for Italy . It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1964 Contest by Bjørn Tidmand with Sangen om dig . The Danish band Outlandish has made a cover of the song called Kom igen which is featured in the game FIFA 07 . DR decided to include Dansevise in the opening sequence of the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 Grand Final . Jörgen Ingmann died on 23 March 2015 in Denmark at the age of 89 , after he separated from his wife Grethe in 1975 .
Grethe Ingmann ( née Clemmensen ; 17 June 1938 - 18 August 1990 ) was a Danish singer . She started her career at 17 , when she temporarily performed as a singer of the Malihini Hawaiians pop quartet . Soon after she sang with the Danish guitarist Jørn Grauengaard and his trio . In 1955 she met her future husband , guitarist Jørgen Ingmann . The couple married in 1956 and performed as the duet Grethe og Jørgen Ingmann . Together they won the Eurovision Song Contest 1963 representing Denmark with the jazz waltz Dansevise ( Dancing tune ) with music by Otto Francker and lyrics by Sejr Volmer-Sørensen . It was the first entry performed by a duo to win the Contest and also the first Scandinavian winner . In 1965 she entered the German Schlager Contest with the song Sommerwind . She dropped out in the preliminaries , but the song 's English version , written by Johnny Mercer in 1966 and sung by Frank Sinatra , became an international hit . Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann continued their musical career until they divorced in 1975 . As a solo singer , Grethe participated in several Danish preselections for the Eurovision Song Contest , unsuccessfully . She died of cancer on August 18 , 1990 , age 52 .
Jørgen Ingmann ( born Jørgen Ingmann Pedersen ; 26 April 1925 - 21 March 2015 ) was a Danish jazz and pop guitarist from Copenhagen . He was popular in Europe , and had a wider international hit in 1961 with his version of Apache . He and his wife Grethe Ingmann won the 1963 Eurovision Song Contest with the song Dansevise .
The Eurovision Song Contest 1984 , the 29th event of its kind , was held on 5 May 1984 in Luxembourg . The presenter , Désirée Nosbusch , only 19 years old at the time , hosted the show in a lax manner , which was quite unusual for the show at the time . She manifested her fluency in four languages by switching between a strong transatlantic English , French , German and Luxembourgish in the course of talking , often in the same sentence . Sweden 's the Herreys were the winners of this contest with the song , Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley . This was the Nordic country 's second win , and the first one in Swedish , as ABBA performed Waterloo in English when they won in 1974 . Richard and Luis Herrey became the first teenage males to win Eurovision and remain the youngest ever male winners , being 19 years and 260 days and 18 years and 184 days of age respectively . Israel withdrew from the contest due to Yom Hazikaron ( Day of Remembrance for the Fallen Soldiers of Israel and Victims of Terrorism ) being commemorated on the same date . Iceland was going to participate but withdrew due to lack of financial support . 1984 is also a notable for the audible booing that could be heard from the audience , particularly at the end of the UK 's performance . It was said that the booing was due to English football hooligans having rioted in Luxembourg in November 1983 after being knocked out of the UEFA European Football Championship . However , the song itself managed a pretty good showing , reaching seventh place .
Det ' lige det ( That 's just it ) was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 , performed in Danish by Hot Eyes . The song was performed tenth on the night , following Ireland 's Linda Martin with Terminal 3 and preceding the Netherlands ' Maribelle with Ik hou van jou . At the close of voting , it had received 101 points , placing 4th in a field of 19 . The song is sung from the perspective of a woman waiting for her lover to come to her . She tells him that his presence brightens the day considerably and that he should n't be afraid of loving her , as he appears to be . As part of their performance of this song in the Danish national selection , the female half of the duo ( Kirsten Siggard ) , pushed the male half ( Søren Bundgaard ) into a swimming pool . This act , while unable to be repeated at the Contest itself , earned the song the Danish nickname The Swimming Pool Song . An English version of Det ' lige det , entitled Waiting in the Rain , was released as the B-side of the 45 rpm single . It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1985 contest by Hot Eyes again , this time with Sku ' du spørg ' fra no'en ? .
Hot Eyes was the name adopted for international acts by the Danish singing duo known in their home country as Kirsten and Søren . It was formed by Kirsten Siggard ( born 7 September 1954 in Slagelse ) and Søren Bundgaard ( born 4 March 1956 in Glostrup ) . Kirsten was brought up in a traditional Christian family who sang in a church choir when she was young and later pursued a career deemed appropriate and desirable , working in a bank , where she met her husband , Jorgen . Søren was a musician , singer and composer , at that time a member of the Danish band Sir Henry . Both Sir Henry and Kirsten entered the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix , which serves as the Danish pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest ( ESC ) , in 1983 . For some reason , Sir Henry 's entry , Og Livet går with music composed by Søren and Leif Pedersen was disqualified and Kirsten took their place in the final , but in a somewhat consolation-prize style they sang as backing vocals for Kirsten . Søren later decided to leave Sir Henry in favor of further cooperation with Kirsten , and the duo entered the Dansk MGP in 1984 as Hot Eyes with the song Det ' lige det with music by Søren and lyrics by Keld Heick ( who also penned lyrics to all other Hot Eyes ' Dansk MGP entries ) . The song became known in Denmark as the swimming pool song , as at the end of the Dansk MGP performance Kirsten threw Søren into a swimming pool by the stage . They won the contest and therefore represented Denmark at the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 , taking the fourth place , even though they were unable to replicate the swimming pool gimmick . This was Denmark 's best placing since 1963 , when the country 's entry won the contest . Kirsten was actually pregnant with her first son while singing at Eurovision . Riding on their popularity , they went on to win the Dansk MGP again in 1985 with Sku ' du spørg ' fra no'en ?
The Eurovision Song Contest 1987 was the 32nd Eurovision Song Contest and was held on 9 May 1987 in Brussels , Belgium after Sandra Kim 's win the previous year . The presenter was Viktor Lazlo . She agreed to present the Eurovision Song Contest , on the condition she was allowed to open with a song of her own , Breathless . Johnny Logan was the winner for Ireland with his own composition Hold Me Now . That made him the first ( and as of 2019 only ) performer to win the contest twice , as he had won also in 1980 .
En lille melodi ( A little tune ) was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987 , performed in Danish by Anne-Cathrine Herdorf & Bandjo . The song was performed nineteenth on the night , following Finland 's Vicki Rosti & Boulevard with Sata salamaa and preceding Ireland 's Johnny Logan with Hold Me Now . At the close of voting , it had received 83 points , placing 5th in a field of 22 . The song is a plea for unity , with Herdorf exhorting everyone to sing this little tune as one . It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1988 Contest by Kirsten & Søren with Ka ' du se hva ' jeg sa ' ? .
Anne-Cathrine Herdorf , ( born 10 July 1967 in Copenhagen ) , is a Danish singer and actress who represented Denmark with the group Bandjo at the 1987 Eurovision Song Contest . Performing the song En lille melodi ( A little tune / English recording title : A Simple Little Song ) she finished in 5th place with 83 points . In 1992 she co-hosted the Danish national final - Dansk Melodi Grand Prix - with another Danish former Eurovision competitor , Anders Frandsen . She appeared at the national final again in 1999 as a jury member and was one of several guest presenters in 2001 . From 1987 to 1993 she played acting roles in several Danish TV productions and from 2001 she has guested or performed as a singer on a number of TV shows .
The Eurovision Song Contest 1988 was the 33rd edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest . The contest took place on 30 April 1988 in Dublin , Ireland , following the country 's win at the previous 1987 edition . The presenters were Pat Kenny and Michelle Rocca . The host broadcaster was Radio Telefís Éireann ( RTÉ ) which revamped the show 's production style compared to its earlier editions , in order to appeal to a younger audience . The winner was Switzerland with the song Ne partez pas sans moi , performed by Canadian singer Céline Dion and composed by Atilla Şereftuğ with lyrics in French by Nella Martinetti . Switzerland beat the United Kingdom by just a point in the last vote to win the title . Twenty-one countries took part , after an initial plan of twenty-two , as Cyprus withdrew its already registered entry for breaching the contest 's rules by being published a few years earlier , in an attempt to represent the country at a prior edition of the contest . The Cypriot song had been drawn to be performed 2nd in the running order .
Ka ' du se hva ' jeg sa ' ? ( Can you see , ( that 's ) what I told you ? , literally : Do you see what I said ? ) was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988 , performed in Danish by Kirsten & Søren ( a duo who had previously entered as Hot Eyes ) . The song was performed thirteenth on the night , following Austria 's Wilfried with Lisa Mona Lisa and preceding Greece 's Afroditi Frida with Clown . At the close of voting , it had received 92 points , placing 3rd in a field of 21 . The song describes a particularly difficult personality type - who knows everything for certain and whistles if it turns out you 're at fault . Over the course of the song , this person is gradually revealed to be the person to whom the song is being sung in the first place . The performance is perhaps more memorable for the fact that the female half of the duo ( Kirsten Siggard ) was heavily pregnant at the time and would give birth only three weeks after the contest . It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1989 Contest by Birthe Kjær with Vi maler byen rød .
The Eurovision Song Contest 1989 was the 34th annual Eurovision Song Contest . It was held on 6 May 1989 in Lausanne , Switzerland , after Celine Dion 's victory in Dublin the previous year . The program was presented by Lolita Morena and Jacques Deschenaux . Riva , representing Yugoslavia , won with the song Rock Me . This was the only victory for Yugoslavia as a unified state .
Vi maler byen rød ( We 're painting the town red ) was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 , written by Søren Bundgaard ( music ) and Keld Heick ( lyrics ) performed in Danish by Birthe Kjær . The English version of the song is called I 'm Chasing Butterflies . The song was performed twelfth on the night , following Luxembourg 's Park Café with Monsieur and preceding Austria 's Thomas Forstner with Nur ein Lied . At the close of voting , it had received 111 points , placing 3rd in a field of 22 . It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1990 Contest by Lonnie Devantier with Hallo Hallo , with lyrics also by Keld Heick . The song qualified as the Danish entry into the Eurovision Song Contest by the usual means of winning that year 's Dansk Melodi Grand Prix . All of the contributors were Dansk Melodi Grand Prix regulars - although for Birthe it was the first , and only , time to win after three unsuccessful attempts , Keld Heick had by then authored lyrics to five winning songs , and Søren Bundgaard wrote music and co-performed three of them , although with another female vocalist , Kirsten Siggaard , as part of the duo Hot Eyes . Heick also authored the lyrics to three 1990s Danish entries , and entered the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix numerous times from 1970s to 1990s as both lyricist , composer and performer ( with his wife Hilda ) , while Søren Bundgaard also tried his luck as composer a few other times , including two unsuccessful Hot Eyes entries . Vi maler byen rød is an evocation of good times , with Kjær describing the fun that can be had by painting the town red . Musically , it is something of a throwback to an earlier time as well , sounding like a more unabashed vocal performance than the more modern numbers starting to achieve success at the Contest at the time . It is also memorable for the fact that Kjær was one of the older contestants to have performed in many years . The performance was unique for the fact that not only the song 's author 's , but also the conductor , Henrik Krogsgaard ( also a Eurovision regular ) , joined Birthe on stage as backup singers and dancers .
Birthe Kjær ( born 1 September 1948 ) is a Danish singer . She finished second at the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in 1980 , 1986 and 1987 , before winning in 1989 , and went on to finish third at the 1989 Eurovision Song Contest in Lausanne . She also finished third at the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix in 1991 .
The Eurovision Song Contest 1995 was the 40th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest . It took place in Dublin , Ireland , following Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan 's win at the 1994 contest on homesoil with the song Rock ' n ' Roll Kids . It was held on 13 May 1995 in the Point Theatre in Dublin , Ireland . The presenter was Mary Kennedy . This year 's competition was the last with only one host until 18 years later in 2013 in Malmö , Sweden . This contest broke the chain of victories that Ireland enjoyed in 1992 , 1993 , and 1994 . This was Ireland 's 3rd year in succession to host the contest - and to mark the 40th show , it was opened with a 4-minute retrospective showing images from the contest 's history . The Norwegian group Secret Garden was the winner of this contest with the mostly instrumental song , Nocturne . Incidentally , Secret Garden 's violinist was Fionnuala Sherry , who is Irish .
Fra Mols til Skagen ( From Mols to Skagen ) was the Danish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 , performed in Danish by Aud Wilken . The song was performed nineteenth on the night , following Sweden 's Jan Johansen with Se på mej and preceding Slovenia 's Darja Švajger with Prisluhni mi . By the close of voting , it had received 92 points , placing it 5th in a field of 23 . The song is a love ballad , with Wilken singing about her desire to be with her lover - she asks him , for example , to let her know train times so that she can be with him . The title of the song comes from her description of the breadth of her feelings about him : From Mols to Skagen I 'm missing you . Mols is the name of a district in east Mid Jutland , while Skagen is Denmark 's northernmost town ( in North Jutland ) , so the two locations are not in fact vastly far apart ( about 170 km as the crow flies ) . Musically , the song is a comparatively slow one , in contrast to the increasingly up-tempo style of other contest entries . It was chosen as the winner of a preliminary Danish song contest by a jury of music professionals ( instead of the usual way of letting viewers decide by telephone voting ) . Initially the song did not enjoy much popularity among the general public , but that seemed to change after its relatively high placing in the international contest . Despite the successful placement of the song , Denmark did not participate in the 1996 contest , as the qualification rules had been changed to require all competing countries barring the host nation to qualify - something the Danes were unable to accomplish . The performance was , however , enough to qualify Denmark as one of the entrants in the next Contest . Hence , it was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1997 contest by Kølig Kaj with Stemmen i mit liv .
Aud Saskia Wilken ( born 1965 in East Berlin ) is a Danish singer , best known for her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 .
The Eurovision Song Contest 2000 was the 45th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest . It took place in Stockholm , Sweden , following Charlotte Nilsson 's win at the 1999 contest in Jerusalem , Israel with the song Take Me to Your Heaven . The contest was held on 13 May 2000 at the Globe Arena . It was the first time since 1996 that the contest was held on mainland Europe . The contest was the second to be held in Stockholm , and the fourth held in Sweden . The presenters were Kattis Ahlström and Anders Lundin . The winner of the 2000 contest was the Olsen Brothers who represented Denmark with the song Fly on the Wings of Love ( originally : Smuk som et stjerneskud ) . The song was written by one of the brothers , Jørgen Olsen . On the day of their victory , Jørgen Olsen was 50 years and 61 days of age , making him the oldest artist yet to win the contest . However , he would not hold the record for long , as Dave Benton triumphed in the following year at the age of 50 years and 101 days , breaking the record by 40 days . The combined ages of The Olsen Brothers make them the oldest aged act ever to win the contest . The Globe Arena was , at the time , the largest venue chosen to host the contest with a capacity of 16,000 spectators .
Olsen Brothers ( Danish : Brødrene Olsen ) are a Danish rock/pop music duo , formed by brothers Jørgen ( born 15 March 1950 ) and Niels Noller Olsen ( born 13 April 1954 ) , who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000 . They formed their first band , The Kids , in 1965 . The Kids warmed up for The Kinks in the K.B . Hallen in 1965 and released their first single in 1967 . Both Jørgen and Niels Olsen participated in the musical Hair in the Cirkusbygningen in Copenhagen March 1971 , and went on tour afterwards through Denmark , Norway and Sweden . The Olsen Brothers ' first album was released in 1972 . The Brothers have released 13 albums . Some of the biggest hit singles includes Angelina ( 1972 ) , For what we are ( 1973 ) Julie ( 1977 ) , San Francisco ( 1978 ) , Dans Dans Dans ( 1979 ) , Marie , Marie ( 1982 ) and Neon Madonna ( 1985 ) , wings of love ( 2000 ) , we believe in love ( 2001 ) , Look up Look down ( 2009 -performed with Sir Cliff Richard ) , Brothers to Brothers 2013 . The Olsen Brothers has sold aprox 3.200.000 albums,1.500.000 singles and around 2.700.000 combilations since the released single-record in 1967 . Total 7.500.000 units . The Brothers has a speciel two voice harmoni sound , which many fans , musicians and songwriters loves . Among the fans are Sir Cliff Richard and Bjoern Ulveus both calls the Olsen Brothers for The European Everly Brothers .
Fly on the Wings of Love is a song by Danish pop-rock duo Olsen Brothers , which was the winner of Eurovision Song Contest 2000 , performed for Denmark , singing in English . The song was performed fourteenth on the night , following Spain 's Serafín Zubiri with Colgado de un sueño and preceding Germany 's Stefan Raab with Wadde hadde dudde da ? . At the close of voting , it had received 195 points , placing first in a field of 24 .
The Eurovision Song Contest 2001 was the 46th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest . It took place in Copenhagen , Denmark , following the Olsen Brothers ' win at the 2000 contest in Stockholm , Sweden with the song Fly on the Wings of Love . The hosting marked the second time the contest was held on Danish soil , after the 1964 contest - 37 years earlier . 23 countries took part in the contest , which was held on 12 May 2001 . The host venue was the Parken Stadium - the largest venue to ever host the contest as of 2019 . A total of 35,000 spectators saw the show live from within the stadium , breaking the record of 16,000 held by the previous year 's hosts Sweden . The show was opened by the Olsen Brothers , with a snippet from their winning song Fly on the Wings of Love , followed by their latest single Walk Right Back , which was already a smash hit in Denmark at the time . The presenters were Danish journalist and TV-show presenter Natasja Crone Back and the famous Danish actor Søren Pilmark who spoke most of their announcements in rhyming couplets . France , Greece and Slovenia were the heavy favourites to win the contest ; however , as the voting progressed it became a two-horse race between Estonia and the host country Denmark .
