Ilanit performing "Ahava Hi Shir Lishnayim" ("Love Is a Song for Two"), the Israeli entry at the 1977 Eurovision Song Contest. After representing her country for its debut entry in 1973 (which got a richly deserved 4th place), Ilanit, Israel's hottest star in the 70s, returned to the contest with another small gem, a marvellous ballad of true quality which she performs absolutely flawlessly. Unfortunately, the juries weren't so kind with her this time, and Israel just missed out a place in that year's top-10, finishing in 11th place (maybe those creepy-looking backing vocalists had sth to do with this! :-P).
