White and Black Blues
Place: 2 (Total Score: 132)

Lyrics:


France was represented by Joëlle Ursull, with the song '"White and Black Blues", at the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 5 May in Zagreb. The song was chosen internally by broadcaster Antenne 2. "White and Black Blues" is noted as a pioneering song in Eurovision terms for being the first to introduce Afro-Caribbean styles and rhythms into the contest. The song, along with the following two French entries, would presage by over a decade the general trend away from generic European pop towards more ethnic sounds.

Overall Final Postion: 2
