About Eurovision Song Contest 1979

The Eurovision Song Contest 1979 was the 24th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 31 March 1979 at the Menachem Ussishkin auditorium of the International Convention Centre in Jerusalem, Israel, and presented by Daniel Pe'er and Yardena Arazi. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA), who staged the event after winning the 1978 contest for Israel with the song "A-Ba-Ni-Bi" by Izhar Cohen and the Alphabeta. This was the first time that the Eurovision Song Contest was held outside Europe.
