On A Little Street In Singapore, by Manhattan Transfer. The vocals are just perfect, and that orchestra... Wow!

My previous post was the UK's entry in the 1959 Eurovision Song Contest - it came second. The UK's entry one year later is also a guilty pleasure, also came second and was sung by Teddy Johnson's brother:-

Looking High High High - Bryan Johnson

Informer - Snow

Native New Yorker - Odyssey

Disco Inferno • Trammps

Eurovision generally, and vintage Eurovision in particular, is a real guilty pleasure.
I'm very fond of these decades-old ESC winners:-
