The year before, in 1964, Aufray represented Luxembourg at the Eurovision Song Contest with 'Dès que le printemps revient'. At the close of voting, it had received 14 points, placing 4th in a field of 16 competitors. No video from his Eurovision performance has survived. A persistent myth, even repeated on the official Eurovision site, is that the tape was destroyed in a fire in the Seventies. More recent interviews with DR, however, state that the broadcast was never recorded in the first place, allegedly due to no tape machines being available at the studio.
