Lulu
By All Music Guide
Most Americans first heard of Lulu when she soared to the top of the charts with the pop ballad To Sir with Love, the theme to the film of the same name, in 1967. Actually, the Scottish singer -- born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie -- had been a star in Britain since 1964, when she hit the Top Ten with a raucous version of Shout. Lulus mid-60s recordings (which included a version of Here Comes the Night that preceded Thems hit rendition) were often surprisingly rowdy and R&B-influenced. Although she didnt match Dusty Springfield, her Brenda Lee-like rasp could be quite gutsy and soulful. Her career was headed in a determinedly middle-of-the-road direction by the late 60s, which saw her hosting a British variety show and marrying Bee Gee Maurice Gibb (they have since divorced). Recording intermittently ever since, she raised a few eyebrows by traveling to Muscle Shoals studios to record her 1970 album New Routes, and releasing a double-sided single of David Bowie tunes (which Bowie also played on and co-produced) in 1973.
