Eurovision Song Contest 1958
The Eurovision Song Contest 1958 was the third edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Hilversum, Netherlands, following the country's victory at the 1957 contest with the song "Net als toen" by Corry Brokken. This formed the convention that the winning country of the previous year's event would host the following year. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Nederlandse Televisie Stichting (NTS), the contest was held at the AVRO Studios on Wednesday 12 March 1958 and was hosted by Dutch television presenter Hannie Lips. Ten countries participated in the contest, equalling the number in the previous edition. Sweden, a country that would go on to be one of the most successful countries in the contest made its debut this year, while the United Kingdom decided not to participate. The winner was France with the song "Dors, mon amour", performed by André Claveau, written by Pierre Delanoë and composed by Hubert Giraud. This was France's first of five victories in the contest. At 46 years and 76 days of age, Claveau would remain the oldest winner until 1990.
