Sandie Shaw - Puppet On A String (1967)

Sandie Shaw, MBE (born Sandra Ann Goodrich; 26 February 1947) is an English singer. One of the most successful British female singers of the 1960s, she had three UK number one singles with "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" (1964), "Long Live Love" (1965) and "Puppet on a String" (1967). With "Puppet on a String", she became the first British entry to win the Eurovision Song Contest. She returned to the UK top 40, for the first time in 15 years, with her 1984 cover of the Smiths song "Hand in Glove". Shaw announced her retirement from the music industry in 2013.

What a catchy song from 1967,one of the best Eurovision winners ever and one of the UKs few winners. Sandie Shaw was one of my favourite female singers from the 60s.

[@IanCurryVI]

Agree with all of that except one of the UK's few winners? Don't be too hard on our form - the UK has won it five times - only Ireland and Sweden have won it more. We are the perennial runners-up, though - 16 times! We were robbed with Cliff Richards' Congratulations and Sonia's Better The Devil You Know. And Gina G only came eight!

Sandy was every young guy's heartthrob back in England in those days. Now we're all either gone or certainly near end-of-life. Some wonderful memories from a much happier and care-free time, when a Man was a Man, a Woman a Woman (pretty hard to miss that with Sandy, such a beautiful girl).... So many incredible songs from that era!! Bend Me Shape Me / Young Girl / Whiter Shade of Pale / Everything Beatles & Monkees etc etc etc....

* Puppet On A String (1967) Sung by Sandie Shaw I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there Like a puppet on a string Love is just like a merry-go-round With all the fun of a fair One day I'm feeling down on the ground Then I'm up in the air Are you leading me on? Tomorrow will you be gone? I may win on the roundabout Then I'll lose on the swings In or out, there is never a doubt Just who's pulling the strings I'm all tied up in you But where's it leading me to?

She was so beautiful you make allowances for a tune that sounds like it could have been a children's melody. But others including The Beatles ( Yellow Submarine) did light hearted songs as well in that area of time. Living in Detroit We were one of the few places that embraced her early on in The States. He song "Always something there to remind me" was a big hit in our market. She had a powerful voice also on display here. It's to bad she couldn't keep going as a singer the way Cher has. Their both the same age.
