Eurovision 1965 winner - France Gall - Poupée de cire, poupée de son - Luxembourg
Gall was selected to represent Luxembourg for the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest.
Out of the 10 songs proposed to her, she chose Gainsbourg's "Poupée de cire, poupée de son."
On 20 March 1965, Gainsbourg, Gall, and Goraguer attended the finals of the song contest in Naples , where the song was booed during rehearsals.
Although Gall's delivery during the live show was not of the highest standard, the song impressed the jury and it took the Grand Prix.
Success at Eurovision ensured that Gall became even more known outside Europe and she recorded "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" in French, German, Italian and Japanese. There appears to be no English version released by France Gall herself, although there was an English cover by the English 60s star Twinkle.
