Claude Lombard

Claude Lombard

Claude Lombard has been played on NTS in shows including The Windmills of Your Mind w/ Taylor Rowley, featured first on 31 August 2015. Songs played include Sleep Well, Mais and Polychrome.

Claude Lombard (born 1945 in Brussels, died 2021 in Boulogne-Billancourt) was a Belgian singer, best known internationally for her participation in the 1968 Eurovision Song Contest.

Lombard studied at INSAS, a college of film, theatre and television studies in Brussels. She learned to play piano and guitar, and began composing music.

In 1968, Lombard's song "Quand tu reviendras" ("When You Come Back") was chosen by jury voting from ten songs as the Belgian representative in the 13th Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 6 April in London. "Quand tu reviendras" finished in joint seventh place (with Monaco and Yugoslavia) of 17 entries.

Lombard returned to Eurovision in 1973, albeit as a backing singer, for that year's Belgian entry "Baby, Baby" performed by Nicole & Hugo. Although this finished in last place in the voting, the song, and particularly the performance, has since assumed iconic status in the Eurovision fan community.

Lombard moved to France in the 1970s. She co-wrote a successful musical called "Attention - fragile", and had gone on to enjoy a successful career as a musical voiceover artist in film and television, with many credits to her name. Films and shows she had worked on include "Beauty and the Beast", "The Prince of Egypt" and "Fraggle Rock".
