Sing Sang Song - Les Humphries Singers

Back in 2014 I bought 'Sing sang song', the Eurovision entry by the Les Humphries Singers from 1976. That was the original German version, and as I found out recently, there's also an English version. 

That one comes in an attractive picture sleeve, featuring the full line-up of the band - all thirteen of them! This edition comes from Spain, but the version was apparently released in various European countries.

My collection: 7" single no. 7403
Found: Record fair, Den Bosch, 9 November 2024
Tracks: 'Sing Sang Song [English version]' / 'Just sit down at the old piano'

Sing sang song - Les Humphries Singers

'Sing Sang Song' was the German entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1976, performed in German by the Les Humphries Singers. The Les Humphries Singers had had a series of hits Continental Europe and Scandinavia in the early Seventies, most notably 'Mexico' (1972) and 'Mama Loo' (1973). The group's usual line-ups consisted of 20 performers and up from all over the world. For their performance in Eurovision they were however reduced to six singers; two female and four male.

Their Eurovision song was composed by Eurovision veteran Ralph Siegel, who had made his debut in the 1974 Contest when he wrote Ireen Sheer's 'Bye Bye I Love You', representing Luxembourg, this was however his first entry for his native Germany. The song received 12 points, placing 15th in a field of 18 competitors. In late 1976 the group disbanded.
