Eurovision Song Contest 1965 - Ulla Wiesner

Ulla Wiesner (born 12 December 1940) is a German singer who was active from 1963 to 2002.

In 1965, she represented Germany in the

Paradies, wo bist du?" (Paradise, where are you?). The song scored zero points along with three other countries out the total of eighteen countries that entered the contest. Past the Eurovision Song Contest, of which her zero-point result hurt her solo career before it had even fully began,[1] she was mainly active with the Botho-Lucas-Chorus, where she stayed as chorister for 30 years,[2] notable for their musical accompaniment on the German TV show Musik ist Trumpf.[3]

There are also several songs in the Brilliant-Musik[4] archives, founded by Werner Tautz, who wrote several songs for Wiesner, together with Heinz Kiessling and Hans Gerig. Wiesner released an album called Twilight Mood in 1970 with Addy Flor and his Orchestra. As one of Germany's busiest studio singers, she was assigned as backing vocalist for many popular artists, including Triumvirat's album Illusions on a Double Dimple in 1974. Since then, notable singles of hers include "Abends kommen die Sterne" ("In the evening the stars appear"), "Wenn dieser Tag zu Ende geht" ("When this day comes to an end") and "Charade".[5][6]

Personal life

Wiesner married the German TV producer and personality Alexander Arnz (1932–2004) in 1999.
