Laß Die Sonne In Dein Herz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laß Die Sonne In Dein Herz (English translation: "Let The Sun Into Your Heart") was the German entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987, performed in German by Wind.

The song was performed sixteenth on the night (following France's Christine Minier with Les Mots D'Amour N'Ont Pas De Dimanche and preceding Cyprus' Alexia with Aspro Mavro). At the close of voting, it had received 141 points, placing 2nd in a field of 22.

Written and composed by Ralph Siegel and Bernd Meinunger, the song owes a considerable debt to reggae music stylistically style and is an exhortation to "let the sun into your heart" as a means of avoiding sad thoughts.

The performance is notable for including as a backing singer Robert Pilatus, later to achieve infamy in connection with Milli Vanilli. It was succeeded as German representative at the 1987 Contest by Maxi & Chris Garden with Lied Für Einen Freund.
