From today ESC COVERS will 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.

We start at 1970 as ESC Covers have little recollection of Eurovisions prior to that date.

1970 recorded the first of 7 victories for IRELAND with ALL KINDS OF EVERYTHING by DANA who later became a politician.

ESC Covers love this song and it was also covered in Afrikaans by MANUEL ESCORCIO who is from Portuguese origin and lived in Mozambique. When that country gained independence from Portugal in 1974, he came to South Africa and started recording in Afrikaans. His cover of All kinds of everything is called SOVEEL HERINNER MY (on the Youtube video the title is incorrect as ALLES HERINNER MY). This cover is one of the very first Eurovision covers in Afrikaans.
