Description
She was discovered by pop singer Adam Faith in 1963, who led her to his manager, Eve Taylor. She released her debut single, "As Long as You're Happy," and over the next three years she had a constant stream of UK hit singles including three number ones as well as being a permanent fixture in the media, which was then only then waking up to the circulation potential of pop music. Indeed the magical combination of being the impossibly beautiful barefoot girl-next-door chart-topper proved to be an absolute gift for television and press. Barely a week would pass without an exclusive Sandie Shaw photo spread in the papers or without Sandie Shaw as a special guest on a TV chat show. All this along with practically having a residency on 'Ready, Steady, Go!', 'Thank Your Lucky Stars' and 'Top of the Pops'. In 1967 she took the Eurovision song contest by storm with the Bill Martin/Phil Coulter song "Puppet on a String" which subsequently hit the number one spot. She recorded one more Coulter song, "Tonight in Tokyo," before returning to Chris Andrews the producer she began her recording career with. Then in early 1969, her English version of the French "Monsieur Dupont" cracked the Top 20.
After a break Shaw returned to recording in the early '80s when BEF, a Heaven 17 side project, prompted her to record "Anyone Who Had a Heart," previously a hit for Cilla Black. The Smiths' lead singer Morrissey began championing her in interviews which led her to record a version of the band's 'Hand in Glove' supported by the Smiths themselves.
