  Sandie Shaw - Biography - AOL Music
British singer Sandie Shaw had a string of girl group-styled singles in the mid-'60s before she retired in the early '70s.
Shaw 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," the following year.
In 1970, Shaw tried to become a family entertainer, yet those plans were scuttled by a failed marriage and scandalous rumors that circulated in the British newspapers.

 Sandie Shaw has had it with pop, she tells David Peschek. | | Guardian Unlimited Arts
As well as the songs Shaw had written with Andrews, material was chosen from other writers who excited her, including the notoriously gruff Jesus and Mary Chain ("They were so nice") and Mike Scott of the Waterboys ("wonderful").
Shaw is also conscious of the difficulties of making the right record, and trading on the past in the wrong way would be "death" to her.
At the beginning of the 1990s, Shaw went to London University, studying psychodynamic counselling at Birkbeck College, at the same time as her daughter Gracie was studying English at University College, just down the road.

 The Sixties Pleasure Zone
Attempts to launch Shaw as a family entertainer were hampered by salacious newspaper reports and during the 70s, troubled by a failed marriage to fashion entrepreneur Jeff Banks, she effectively retired.
The Shaw resurgence was completed when she was heavily promoted by Smiths vocalist Morrissey, one of whose compositions, "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" was clearly inspired by the title of Shaw's failed 60s single, "Heaven Knows I'm Missing You Now".
In 1986, she reached the lower regions of the UK chart with a cover of Lloyd Cole's "Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken?" Her comeback album, on Rough Trade Records, featured songs by Morrissey, the Smiths and the Jesus And Mary Chain.

 Sandie Shaw
Sandie's singing career began when she was introduced to Adam Faith who then invited her to audition by singing for him in his dressing room.
Although her first single was ignored, and is now a collector's item, her second went all the way to the top.
She was fortunate to be something of a fantasy figure for the Smith's singing songwriter Morrissey and while at the peak of his own career he persuaded Sandie to return to the recording studio.

 The Sandie Shaw Supplement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sandie Shaw Supplement is the name of the television show hosted by 1960s British girl singer Sandie Shaw in 1968 and also the name of her fourth original album released in November of that year by Pye Records.
The TV show included Shaw singing the songs from the album and most of the shows have since been confiscated and erased by the BBC, after Shaw asked for them to put the film on videotape.
Each week Shaw would introduce a show built loosely around a theme such as transport, love and sex, or the Continent.

 Sandie Shaw - Nothing Comes Easy - Review - Uncut.co.uk
Morrissey, the man who rescued Sandie's career when he coerced her into recording "Hand In Glove", once described her as "the most prolific figure in the entire history of British popular music".
Absurd, sure, but from '64-'69 Sandie had as many UK No 1s as Dusty and Cilla combined (three).
This enthralling box set chronicles every A and B from her barefoot heyday to her '80s revival via hits, memorable misses (eg 1966's galloping Joe Meek pastiche "Run"), '70s disco dabblings and Heaven 17's whimsical B.E.F. offshoot.

On her last album of the '60s, Shaw proved that she was hipper than a lot of people would have suspected.
Moving away from the usual light pop and MOR, she chose a set of covers heavy on material by the likes of Bob Dylan, the Lovin' Spoonful, the Rolling Stones ("Sympathy for the Devil"!), Led Zeppelin's "Your Time Is Gonna Come" (double exclamation point!), Donovan, Dr. John, and the Bee Gees.

Shaw's second album was a substantial improvement on her debut in every respect, though hardly a major effort.
and Shaw herself contributed a fair effort with her first original composition, "Till the Night Begins to Die." "Down and Dismal Ways" is as down and dirty as Sandie ever got (which means that it's still pretty innocuous).
It helped that Chris Andrews (who wrote most of her hits) supplied a lot of the tunes.

 Morrissey-solo | Independent features bit on Sandie Shaw and Moz
In 1983, Morrissey sent a demo tape to his childhood heroine.
After its poor performance as the Smiths' debut release a year earlier, "Hand in Glove" was given a more sprightly production with Sandie on vocals and was duly earmarked as the single.
For Top of the Pops in April 1984, in a wry tribute to her Sixties appearances on the show, Sandie kept her shoes on, while the band (minus Morrissey) strummed and drummed in bare feet.

Sandie: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more
Even if you're in the Sandie Shaw cult, you might be disappointed, even aghast, at the quality of her debut LP.
From every standpoint, it betrayed hasty execution--wafer-thin production, shoddy original material (none of her early singles are included), lousy covers of American and British pop and rock hits, and one-dimensional vocalizing and interpretive skills from Sandie herself.
