bernadette -lrb- born bernadette kraakman , 1 march 1959 , volendam -rrb- is a dutch singer , best known for her participation in the 1983 eurovision song contest .
bernadette was not a well-known name when she took part with two songs in the 1983 dutch eurovision selection , but she emerged the narrow victor -lrb- by just one point -rrb- with `` sing me a song '' , which despite the title was sung in dutch .
she went forward to the 28th eurovision song contest , held in munich on 23 april , where `` sing me a song '' finished a solid seventh of the 20 entries .
following her unsuccessful partnership with ingrid simons in duo double trouble in 1986 , bernadette became a voiceover and backing singer , having worked with artists such as harry slinger and rob de nijs .
