ESC COVERS started to look at 1 or 2 highlights from every Eurovision song contest from 1970 to 2023. This may be an actual entry, a cover from that year or just a specific artist.

Today it is 1975.  19 countries gathered in Stockholm where Sweden hosted. Turkey joined the line-up for the first time and ended last.

The Netherlands won with DING DING-A-DONG by TEACH IN which was sung in English. It would be the last win until 2019.

Nothing special stood out for ESC Covers other than the fact that the backing group THE DOLLS for Swedish singer LARS BERGHAGEN also provided backing for the singers of Belgium, Portugal and Switzerland.  So they were on stage 4 times in one Eurovision.

Famous group THE SHADOWS, who often backed Cliff Richard, sang for the United Kingdom and came second.

An absolute highlight is the cover of Ding a dong between COLE VAN DAIS (of South Africa) and JORENS STEINHAUER (of Latvia). The cover is in Afrikaans and Latvian.
