Sandie Shaw
 Sandie Shaw came from Dagenham in Essex, England. Her gimmicks
consisted of a BIG voice and performing without shoes.
Provided with excellent material by songwriter Chris Andrews,
she had a series of hits in Britain between 1964 and 1969 and
conquered many other countries in the process; First France and
all French-speaking countries, then Germany, Spain and South
America.
Always Something There To Remind Me brought her
instant fame, which she consolidated with Long Live Love,
another chart-topper.
In 1967 she represented the United Kingdom
in the Eurovision Song Contest and 50 million viewers saw
her sweep to victory with Puppet On A String.
Two years later she disappeared from view until the 1980s when
she returned for unlikely (but brilliant) collaborations with
Heaven 17 and The Smiths.
