"Rock Me" was the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1989, performed by Riva, representing Yugoslavia, the only time that this country won the Contest. The song was performed in Serbo-Croatian, but the lead vocalist Emilija Kokić sang the song in English during the winners' encore.
The song's victory led to international awareness of Yugoslav and Croatian rock.[1]
Riva's frontwoman Emilija Kokić continued to appear in various shows but had no significant success after the 1989 victory.
The song was succeeded as winner in 1990 by Toto Cutugno representing Italy with "Insieme: 1992".
