Eurovision Song Contest

In 1966, Madeleine Pascal represented Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest 1966 with song Ne vois-tu pas?, composed by Pierre Brenner and written by Roland Schweizer. It is a mixture between waltz and fashion pop that insists on the theme of a young woman whom her beloved sees as a girl.

Her performance, the most yé-yé of the evening, reached sixth position with 12 points, 5 from Austria, 3 from Monaco and Ireland and 1 from Luxembourg. Jean Roderes conducted the orchestra for the third time at the gala, after doing so with Belgian and Luxembourg tickets. The festival was the end of her short-lived musical career.
