Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest 1976

A national final featuring five acts was organised by the Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion (CLT) to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1976.

The winner, "Chansons pour ceux qui s'aiment" performed by Jürgen Marcus, was selected following the 50/50 combination of votes from an eight-member jury and the results of around 2,000 postcards submitted by the public, and was announced during a special broadcast on 21 February 1976.

[2][3] The jury consisted of French, German, English, and Luxembourgish-speaking presenters of Radio Luxembourg: André Torrent, Sam Bernett, Helga Guitton, Jochen Pützenbacher, Barry Alldis, Stewart Henry, Jeannine Theisen, and Raymond Tholl.

[4] On the evening of the final Marcus performed 5th in the running order, following Israel and preceding Belgium, and conducted by Jo Plée.

The song was oddly structured as it gave the impression of being a typical Eurovision big ballad until the schlager-esque chorus suddenly kicked in.
