Carlos Paião
Carlos Manuel de Marques Paião (1 November 1957 – 26 August 1988) was a singer and songwriter from Portugal. He represented Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest 1981 with the song "Playback". Carlos Paião was also a doctor, having graduated in medicine in 1983, but his greatest passion was music. Some of his songs became national hits. In August 1988, Carlos Paião died in a car accident on N1 Road (old Lisbon-Porto road) in Ponte Amieira, near Rio Maior, Santarém district, while returning from a concert. The Nissan Urvan that Carlos Paião was travelling in collided head-on with a truck that was irregularly overtaking a broken car.
