Annie Palmen (born Anna Maria Palmen; 19 August 1926 â€" 15 January
2000) was a Dutch singer, best known for her participation in the 1963
Eurovision Song Contest.Palmen was born in IJmuiden. She started her
career singing with dance orchestras around the city of Haarlem, then
sang on various radio stations before her first hit record, "Ik zal je
nooit meer vergeten", in 1958.In 1960, Palmen took part in the Dutch
Eurovision selection, with the song "Wat een geluk" ("What luck"). In
a somewhat odd selection process, each of eight songs was performed
twice by different artists and a public vote chose the best song. A
professional jury then decided which of the two artists would take the
song to Eurovision. "Wat een geluk" was duly chosen as the song, but
in the head-to-head with Rudi Carrell, Palmen lost out. Annie Palmen Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
