Nicole & Hugo couldn’t sing the song at the ESC as Nicole fell ill with jaundice and the duo were unable to attend. They were replaced in their absence by Jacques Raymond and Lily Castel. Jacques and Lily finished in 14th place from a field of 18 contestants.  Jacques previously represented Belgium in ESC 1963 & came 2nd in the 1961 Belgian Final. Nicole previously took part in the 1968 Belgian Final & the 1970 Belgian quarter-finals.
