Sweden withdrew form the contest, a year after they had hosted the show in Stockholm. Turkey and Malta withdrew as well but Greece and Austria returned so there were still 18 countries left. A lot of famous artists took part like Al Bano & Romina Power for Italy, Jürgen Marcus for Luxembourg and Peter, Sue & Marc for Switzerland. The United Kingdom succeeded the same feat as The Netherlands in 1975, Brotherhood of Man won with Save your kisses for me being the first performers on stage. This song became very famous and broke records because of a huge sale. Formal Dutch winner Corry Brokken was this year’s host. France gave 4 points to Yugoslavia but they never mentioned them at the casting of the votes. Because the scuteneer didn't notice this, the 4 points from France to Yugoslavia were never included into the final result.
