Corry Brokken was a former Dutch singer, television presenter and lawyer. She represented her country in the first three years of the Eurovision Song Contest, only one of four artists today to participate in three consecutive years (along with Lys Assia, Udo Jürgens and Valentina Monetta). She participated in the inaugural contest in 1956 with the song Voorgoed voorbij, the second of the two Dutch entries in Lugano. Like the remaining 13 entries, its placement is unknown. In June 2016, it was announced by Dutch media that Brokken had died at the age of 83.
