Editor's note

Sandra Kim, the youngest Eurovision winner ever

She took the 1986 contest with 'J'aime la vie' at thirteen and kept making records.

For the win, obviously 'J'aime la vie'. For something later, try 'Maar dat gevoel'.

That win with 'J'aime la vie' made her a Eurovision footnote, but she didn't just fade away. She kept putting out albums like 'Bien dans ma peau' and songs like 'Coup de Coeur', working with players like Jean-Claude Petit. It's a catalog that stretches beyond one contest moment.

After winning Eurovision in 1986, she released 'Souvenir d'enfance' that same year. Later albums included 'Les années folles' in 1991 and 'Onvergetelijk' in 1993.
