Marion Rung

Marion Rung started her career at only 15, and it is still going on 60 years later. For 33 of those years she actually held the record for the best Finnish result in the Eurovision, from 1962 when she debuted in the contest at only 16 with the entry "Tipi-tii" which she then beat herself in 1973 with "Tom Tom Tom".That record held until the long overdue Finnish victory with Lordi in 2006. But Marion has participated in the Finnish selection several more times, many of which she must be reminded of to remember, and she has made countless covers of other Eurovision songs as well as having her two entries covered by others.How did she get to where she got, what were her experiences when she competed, especially when she was so young, and how come she released a record with traditional Jewish songs?Legend: Marion RungSongs: Tipi-tii (Finland 1962) & Tom tom tom (Finland 1973)Host: Emil LöfströmContact: [email protected] Facebookhttp//www.eurovisionlegends.se Hosted on Acast.
