Joy Fleming

Joy Fleming in a live performance in 2005.

Joy Fleming (born Erna Raad on November 15, 1944 in Rockenhausen, Rhineland-Palatinate, married name Liebenow) is a German singer who is probably best known for her performance in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1975. She performed the song "Ein Lied kann eine Brücke sein"[1] and was placed seventeenth out of nineteen countries.

Fleming made a further Eurovision bid in 1986, participating in the German national contest with the song Miteinander. Joy's next involvement with Eurovision came in 2001 when, under a somewhat confusing arrangement with Swiss television she co-sang their contribution to the German final. The song, Power of Trust was performed with two other singers, Lesley Bogaert and Brigitte Oelke and was placed second. Joy made another attempt in 2002 and finished as runner-up yet again, this time performing Joy to the World with the group Jambalaya.
