This April 14, 1979, barely back from Jerusalem and ten days after your 28th birthday, you were so happy, so energetic, Louis, my pretty little Angel...

As Joachim Fuchsberger (1927-2014), the presenter of this TV show, says, you and your friends from Dschinghis Khan had just achieved the feat to sell 500,000 records in just 3 weeks ! Any singer of 2022 would dream of it ! What a success for you and for your Group, mon bel Amour ! You all received a standing ovation from the German public !

Rare moment... At the end of this video montage, Dschinghis Khan joins the members of Milk & Honey with Gali Atari, winners of the Eurovision Song Contest 1979 with the title "Hallelujah". The first and the fourth of the competition together ! And as always, you are friendly, affectionate and considerate towards everyone on stage… I am so proud of you, my precious Love ! Ek is so trots op jou, my pragtige Liefde ! Je suis si fier de toi, mon Etoile scintillante !

That night, in Offenburg, you were only twenty short kilometers from France !... So close to me... But that night, we were still two strangers to each other... I who have been in Offenburg so many times... What a strange feeling for me, by seeing these images tonight, 43 years after this show...

LIVE performance, 14-4-79.
