About Birdie

"Sing, Little Birdie" is the 1959 UK Eurovision entrant song that took second place at Eurovision 1959. Performed by husband-and-wife duo Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson, "Sing, Little Birdie" was the first UK Eurovision entrant to be recorded reaching #12 in the UK charts. Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson performed "Sing, Little Birdie" in the first semi-final of Eurovision Song Contest (ESC)/British Finals — the national preliminary round for the UK in Eurovision 1959 — on 2 March 1959. The duo also performed in the second semi-final of ESC/British Finals on 5 March 1959 with the song "That's It, That's Love", making Pearl Carr & Teddy Johnson the only act to ever perform two songs in the same multi-artist formatted UK Eurovision pre-selection round; the duo also being double-entered in the national preliminary round for the UK in Eurovision 1960. Polly Brown would perform two contending songs in the UK pre-selection round for Eurovision 1976 but as distinct acts: herself and as a member of Sweet Dreams. more »
