Biography

British singer Sandie Shaw rose to fame in the mid-'60s with hits like "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" and "Puppet on a String." Despite her success in the U.K., she struggled to make an impact in the U.S. Shaw's career declined in the late '60s due to a shift in musical direction and failed collaborations, leading to her retirement in the '70s. However, she made a brief comeback in the '80s, recording covers of songs like "Hand in Glove" by the Smiths and "Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken?" by Lloyd Cole, though she never regained her former chart success.

Sandie Shaw's attempts at a family-friendly image were derailed by personal struggles and scandalous rumors in the early '70s, prompting her retirement. In the '80s, she made a modest return to the music scene with the support of artists like Morrissey and collaborations with bands like the Smiths. Despite recording new material and an album in the late '80s, Shaw struggled to regain her former commercial success and largely remained a figure of nostalgia for fans of '60s pop music.
