Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 1961

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sweden chose their entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 1961 through Melodifestivalen 1961. The song April, april, performed once with Siw Malmkvist, once with Gunnar Wiklund, won. However, none of them was considered acceptable for singing in ESC, so Lill-Babs was chosen as representant instead. In the contest, once more held in Cannes, she finished on a disappointing 14th place (out of 16).
