Sandie Shaw

Sandie Shaw, the legendary British singer-turned-psychotherapist, made an unforgettable impact on the 1960s music scene with a string of hits that defined an era. With three UK number-one singles to her name, Shaw made history when her song “Puppet on a String” became the first British entry to win the Eurovision Song Contest.

After a career filled with success, she officially retired from the music industry in 2013. Born in England, Shaw attended Robert Clack Technical School in Dagenham before working in a factory and trying her hand at part-time modeling. Her life changed forever when music icon Adam Faith discovered her, launching her into stardom.
