A Sadly Forgotten Piece Of History. I am not convinced about the title for YouTube. If you have any ideas let me know!

Joy Fleming (1944–2017), a great soul singer from Germany, did not get enough recognition for her performance of "Ein Lied kann eine Brücke sein" at the ESC in 1975 (youtu.be/EDf9XX_p1mA). She only reached the 17th place out of 19 contestants. If she had sung English lyrics, she likely would have reached a higher place.

Interesting story. The composer Alfredo Catalani never achieved great success in his lifetime and died from tuberculosis at the age of 39, one year and a half after his opera "La Wally" premiered in January 1892. "La Wally" became his most well-known opera. One of his most beautiful compositions is the "Dance of the Water Nymphs" from his 1890 opera "Loreley" (youtu.be/iq7Jkdq0nEI).
