Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 1975
Norway was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1975 with the song "Touch My Life (with Summer)", written by Svein Hundsnes, and performed by Ellen Nikolaysen. The Norwegian participating broadcaster, Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix 1975 in order to select its entry for the contest. Nikolaysen had previously represented Norway in 1973 as a member of the Bendik Singers, and had also provided backing vocals for Anne-Karine Strøm in 1974.
Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) held the Melodi Grand Prix 1975 at its studios in Oslo, hosted by Bergljot Engeset. Five songs were presented in the final with each song sung twice by different singers, once with a small combo and once with a full orchestra. The winning song was chosen by voting from a 10-member "expert" jury. "Touch My Life (with Summer)" was performed in Norwegian at the Melodi Grand Prix titled "Det skulle ha vært sommer nå" and was translated into English before going to Eurovision.
During the preparation of the contest, the song "Det skulle ha vært sommer nå" was translated as "Touch My Life (with Summer)".
On the night of the final Nikolaysen performed 6th in the running order, following Luxembourg and preceding Switzerland. At the close of voting, Norway picked up only 11 points, placing Norway 18th of the 19 entries, ahead only of Turkey.
