Sandie Shaw

Sandie Shaw (Sandra Ann Goodrich, b. 26 February 1947) is a British vocalist and recording artist who first came to fame in the 1960s. In 1967 she won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Puppet on a String. She had previously scored two other no.1 hits with Always Something There to Remind Me (1964) and Long Live Love (1965).

Her career was revived in the mid-1980s, most famously through her collaboration with The Smiths, scoring a top 30 hit with her cover version of Hand in Glove, recorded with the band in 1984, and another minor hit with Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken?, originally recorded by Lloyd Cole and The Commotions.
