Serge & Christine Ghisoland (both born in 1946) are a singing duo from Mouscron, Belgium, best known for their participation in the 1972 Eurovision Song Contest.[1]
Eurovision Song Contest
In 1970, the then unknown married couple took part in the semi-finals of the Belgian Eurovision selection with two songs, "Lai lai lai" and "Nous serons toi et moi".[2] Both qualified for the final, but the Ghisolands decided to withdraw "Nous serons toi et moi", leaving "Lai lai lai" to go forward, where it finished fourth.[3]
In 1972 the couple were chosen as the Belgian representatives and performed ten songs which were the subject of a public vote. The winner was "
À la folie ou pas du tout" ("Madly, or Not At All"), which went forward to the 17th Eurovision Song Contest, held on 25 March in Edinburgh.[4] "À la folie ou pas du tout" finished the evening in 17th place of 18 entries, ahead only of the Maltese song.[5]
Later career
There is little information available on the couple after their Eurovision appearance, although Serge Ghisoland is believed to have worked for many years with Belgian record label, Elver.[6] He was also a music teacher in several schools in the Mouscron/Comines region of Belgium.
