What's Another Year

"What's Another Year" is a song recorded by Irish singer-songwriter Johnny Logan with music composed and lyrics written by Shay Healy.

When showband frontman Glen Curtin, the original choice of singer, turned it down, the song was rearranged by Bill Whelan to suit Johnny Logan's singing style.

Logan recorded the song in English, German –as "Was ist schon ein Jahr"–, and Spanish –as "¿Qué es un año más?"–.

[3] On 19 April 1980, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at the Nederlands Congresgebouw in The Hague hosted by Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), and broadcast live throughout the continent.

He was backed by the special's presenters Edsilia Rombley, Chantal Janzen, and Jan Smit from their studio in Hilversum, and a chorus of Euro-fans from around the world.
