Queens of British Pop 2009: Sandie Shaw talks about Eurovision and her career

From the BBC documentary of 2009, Queens of British Pop. Sandie Shaw talks about her career and winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1967.

[@misterpeppercorn3078]

Thank you Sandie Shaw for your wonderful career. Much love from the U.S.

[@whatwouldiknow1759]

Sandie Shaw, Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield, Judith Durham, Petula Clark, Lulu & Shirley Bassey. All great 60s British singers.

[@whatwouldiknow1759]

Sorry, Judith Durham was an Aussie. She made her mark in the UK.

[@nutcracker2916]

I agree and a lot more classier. They would wear mini dresses. But never overly short. Or showing too much cleavage. Unlike some of the trollops as my auntie would call girls like that. Great role models those singers you mentioned.

So right all fabulous 😍

Sill love Sandie, along with Lulu and Dusty....keep the memories flowing X

[@prowelsh56]

Oh very sweet...Sandie, Cilla, Dusty, Petula, Lulu, Shirley, Marianne - great British days.....xxxx

[@philipprice3993]

Sandie Shaw was the greatest of the lot. Her albums are superb and she was able to establish herself as a singer-songwriter in her own right during the 1980s with the Choose Life and Hello Angels albums.She always had superb interpretation skills of major songwriters including Harry Nillson.

Just remember your promise.. tell the boys

[@grambi]

She said it ruined her career, really?? And what about ABBA and Celine Dion...?

[@kyawkyawwin1]

Despite her success, she never had the voice of the likes of Dusty. Decidedly average.

Sandie and Dusty were different singers both great in their choice of material.

[@nickpalmer3076]

Sandie was so good in the 60's . She recorded some great songs. Many of her 'B' sides were gems.

[@philipprice3993]

Yes Nick I agree re the B sides - Long Walk Home should have been an A side as should Keep In Touch, Turn On The Sunshine, Voice In The Crowd, Pity The Ship Is Sinking and Maple Village - all should have been A sides. Had they done so I am convinced she would have had far more Top 20 success.

[@beverleythwaites6164]

Thank you for downloading this. It is just lovely. As a little girl, I loved Sandie, she was my heroine.

[@easkels]

Sandie Shaw was the best. Better than the rest. With respect to other female vocalists who where great. But in my opinion Sandie was the best. She started in the sixties and nailed it in the eighties. Over and out!

[@danfernandez8393]

I love puppet on a string. and I think I love how not tied up in mainstream bullcrap she is.. Amen to sandy.

[@Horriblebastad]

Long long live love was a real peach. Off key,and calypso beat,and of course,her great singing.

[@jamesavery2]

I could never get why she didn't wear shoes ?????

[@shanecbx1047cc]

I only got how good puppet on a string is brilliantly crafted and the perfect match of song and singer

[@peterkirby7270]

Sandie Shaw has a lovely voice and I love all of her songs. My favourite is You' ve Not Changed. All the songs were good in a Song for Europe and am delighted that Puppet on a String won Eurovision in 1967. I became a Eurovision fan in 1972 and still am.

[@antonmedvedev1128]

Thumbs up who is a fan and is listening to Sandie's records in 2018 😻😺👍💙

[@shoWbitz]

Swinging Sixties... Gorgeous, lovely ladies

[@AirborneAirAssault6565]

These gals lead the way! Thank you for posting these special moments in time! She still looks wonderful and sounds great!

[@rjay1340]

LOVE LONG LIVE LOVE X

[@eugeneschuyler2675]

Loved her music and felt she deserved to be given better music ......... amazing range and Sandie you nailed it on Puppet on a String .... I know you didn't like it but your voice and amazing vocal range gave it the success it needed.

[@bepedalmajo]

She is part of my childhood,when she used to sing in italian,,when I was in London,44 years ago I was working at an italian restaurant "La Terrazza " she came and had dinner,she was with some guests!

[@edmundwasilewski]

Beautiful Sandie

[@garryhastings3383]

I love the way this lady transformed herself from singer to professional health care worker. I myself went from miner to lecturer so know that journey Sandie. Well done kiddo! You will, for me at least be that icon of the 60's we all thought of as, 'the new Garbo' and I wonder if you did mimic that image? If so, well done!

[@shanecbx1047cc]

I remember watching her on jools Holland hogmanay 2011 and was a very bad time 4 me but really got the new year off to a good start. We need this more than ever post covid

[@martinmilner5946]

An uplifting story!

[@jacksugden8190]

I never liked Puppet On A String, I saw on telly in 67, even to this day disliked it. Always Something There to Remind Me 1964), or even Long Live Love 1965) would have been better choices for Sandra.

[@muff-puff.]

Love ❤️ you more than ever, beautiful Lady. My favourite BRUNETTE and I adore BRUNETTES. ❤❤❤❤❤🇬🇧👍

[@danfernandez8393]

Sandie is really cool. I love puppet on a string. Thank u for sharing. TINFOILHATz.

[@jamesheath7601]

Sandie Shaw is beautiful

[@davidfos84]

"She wasn't behaving as a woman of her age was supposed to behave" - Jesus she was only in her 30s!!!

[@thoskel1]

Monsieur Dupont was my favourite Sandie song

[@daviddixon1011]

Always thought Sandie had a bland voice but was very attractive.Some of her 80s stuff showed her voice off better. Her hit career was short ,about 6 years then she virtually vanished until her short lived 80s comeback.Seems happy away from the business.Good for her.

[@ianhand5006]

The most beautiful woman on Earth.

[@antonmedvedev1128]

Oh how I love watching Sandie make a reference to her former manager who had been hating on my most most favourite album "Reviewing the Situation" 🏄💖🎼🙆 oh what an album and what songs! Formidable line of work put together on an LP 👍 Thank God this LP has just had a re-issue for RSD 2020 💖

[@jacksugden8190]

Would liked to have met Sandi/Sandra, such a beautiful voice 🤞.

[@andrewpreston4127]

Great stuff what she did with The Smiths.

[@joeyrizzio6762]

this chic was the Blondie of the 60s

[@Horriblebastad]

Uh,she was dark haired y'all.

[@clvrswine]

1. Blondie is not a person. 2. There is a New Wave band named Blondie. 3. The singer in that band is Deborah Ann Harry. 4. Her name is not Blondie. 5. Chic is not the same as Chick.

[@philipprice3993]

Very Interesting Comment - yes Songwriter Chris Andrews was to Sandie Shaw what Chris Stein was to Debbie Harry. I think Debby Harry was very much aware of how Cool Sandie was in the 1960s and what impact she had had. It is a shame the four of them never came together to collaborate.

[@nawyecannae53]

I think the comparison is a pretty fair one. Both had a unique presence when performing and were totally fascinating. Sandie’s career was a lot shorter but her impact was no less in her period of fame. Either of them could have worn an old sack without lessening their appeal and they both knew it. To equally appreciate them I think you had to be there.

[@nutcracker2916]

Lovely to see this. I had a sister who was over a decade older than me. So I heard a lot of her records. ( I'm 60 now) When she flew the nest. I inherited most of her record collection. Sandie Shaw singles. Lulu. Dusty. ect. Have fond memories of being a 10 year old listening to those singles. Sandie looks lovely for her age. Not all botoxed up & plastic looking. x

[@oiooi6460]

She was amazing but man she always looked so miserable

[@picnz1]

Solemn is the word you were looking for.

[@oiooi6460]

@@picnz1 No miserable. As in bored and peed off

[@antonmedvedev1128]

Actually, I consider the album "Reviewing the Situation" as one of her best works at the time and to date! Amazing, fresh, ahead of its time, futuristic and original, although it was an album of covers, surprisingly! 💜👍

[@dennisleecleven3209]

Sandie didn't have the perfect voice in the sixties. She had more range and depth in the eighties. Sandie is fascinating and she continues to fascinate with her persona. I'd love it if she would record again. Do check out her great eighties album, Hello Angel.

[@nicosogrecos]

She is as awesome as ever, I fell in love with her on her very first song.She had Greta Garbo charisma and looks.

[@jonathandesousa6755]

You took the words out of my mouth!

[@nicosogrecos]

Yep, the only singer that really captured my heart. Her profile and her hair and the look she gave with her eyes used to really melt my heart, as teenager then.

[@larciabella]

Enjoyed this .Did Sandy fare well in the states?

[@bufb]

larciabella I was a huge fan. But the only song got airplay was Always something there to remind me.
