The Eurovision Song Contest 1979 was the 24th Eurovision Song Contest and was held on March 31, 1979 in Jerusalem, Israel. The presenters were Daniel Pe'er and Yardena Arazi, and the event was staged in the International Convention Center. Representing Israel, Gali Atari and Milk and Honey were the winners of this Eurovision with the song, Hallelujah. This was a second victory in a row for Israel, it was also their second victory in the contest.
As noted in author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor's book The Eurovision Song Contest - The Official History, at one point before the contest Turkey was going to participate, but they withdrew. If they had gone ahead they would have appeared eleventh on stage. They had selected Maria Rita Epik & 21.Peron to represent Turkey with the song 'Seviyorum' (I'm Loving). Turkey was forced to retire from the contest under pressure from Arab states who objected to a predominantly Muslim country taking part in a contest held in Israel.[1]
