Paola del Medico is a Swiss singer who started her career in the late 1960s. Over a four decade period she released over a dozen studio albums and singles and is best known internationally for representing her home country twice in the Contest.
Her second attempt came just eleven years later when she represented her home country in The Hague with the song "Cinéma", which finished in 4th place with 104 points, just two points behind the entry by the band Prima Donna of the United Kingdom.
She also attempted to represent West Germany in the Contest two years later but finished as runner up in the national final to Nicole who went on to give the country its first ever win in Harrogate with the song "Ein bißchen Frieden".
