Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 1961
Sweden was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1961 with the song "April, april", composed by Bobbie Ericsson, with lyrics by Bo Eneby, and performed by Lill-Babs. The Swedish participating broadcaster, Sveriges Radio (SR), selected its entry through a national final. The song was performed once by Siw Malmkvist, once by Gunnar Wiklund in the national final. However, none of them was considered acceptable for singing in Eurovision, so SR chose Lill-Babs as its representative instead. In the contest, once more held in Cannes, she finished in 14th place (out of 16).
