Lize Marke (bornLiliane Couck,Denderleeuw, 1 December 1936) is a Belgian singer, best known for her participation in the 1965Eurovision Song Contest.
Marke started singing professionally in 1962, and first participated in the Belgian Eurovision selection in 1963, when she performed two songs, "Luister naar de wind" and "Saksisch porselein", which made the final, finishing in second and fourth respectively.[1]
Marke sung all six songs in the 1965 Eurovision selection, and "Als het weer lente is" ("When It's Spring Again") was chosen by jury vote as the Belgian representative in the tenthEurovision Song Contest, held on 20 March inNaples, Italy.[2] "Als het weer lente is" failed to score, finishing in joint last place (withFinland,Germany and Spain) of the 18 entrants. It was Belgium's second "nul pointer", followingFud Leclerc's zero in 1962.[3] Marke was the first female singer to represent Belgium at Eurovision sinceMony Marc in the inaugural contest of1956.
In 1965, Marke fronted her own television show on Belgian channelVRT. Thereafter her career went quieter, although she continued to release records and perform live until the mid-1970s. A compilation CD of her recordings was issued in 2002.[4]
