- 1973 The result
The top three finished within six votes of one another. Luxembourg's Anne-Marie David won with "Tu te reconnaîtras" on 129 votes. Spain's Mocedades had 125 with "Eres tú". Cliff Richard, third this time, had 123.
- 1973 The one that travelled
The runner-up did best of all afterwards. "Eres tú" became a hit around the world and reached the top ten of the American chart in 1974 — one of very few songs not in English to have done so. In 2005 it was one of fourteen songs chosen for the contest's fiftieth-anniversary show, where it came eleventh.
