(Total Score: 8)
Lyrics:
A man without love is only half a man\\nAnd half a man is nothing\\nA man without love cannot begin to dream\\nFor all his dreams lead nowhere\\n\nThat was me\\nThe man I used to be\\nA lonely cloud who'd never found his destiny\\nThen you came\\nYou touched my heart and told the pain to go\\nAnd now I know\\n\nA man who is loved has everything in life\\nAnd all his life is roses and rainbows and songbirds\\nThat he knows never sang\\nFor a man without love\\n\nThat was me\\nThe man I used to be\\nA lonely cloud who'd never found his destiny\\nThen you came\\nYou touched my heart and told the pain to go\\nAnd now I know\\n\nA man who is loved has everything in life\\nAnd all his life is roses and rainbows and songbirds\\nThat he knows never sang\\nFor a man without love
The United Kingdom held a national preselection to choose the song that would go to the Eurovision Song Contest 1966, with the BBC selecting Kenneth McKellar to perform all the entries under consideration. After performing the five shortlisted songs weekly on BBC1's Kenneth McKellar's A Song For Everyone, the final was held on 27 January 1966 and presented by David Jacobs. McKellar released an extended play maxi single featuring the five songs, subsequently releasing a single featuring the winner and the runner up, which reached number 30 in the UK singles chart. Viewers cast votes on postcards via mail to choose the winning song, which was "A Man Without Love". At the Eurovision Song Contest, McKellar performed last in the contest, finishing 9th out of 18 entries, the worst showing to date for a British entry; a record maintained until 1978.
