Sandie Shaw – Born in 1947
Known as the “barefoot pop princess,” Sandie Shaw became a defining voice of the 1960s. With hits like (There’s) Always Something There to Remind Me and Puppet on a String—the latter winning Eurovision in 1967—she embodied the youthful, modern spirit of the era.
Though she stepped away from the spotlight in later years, Shaw reinvented herself as a psychotherapist and has been recognized for her contributions to music with an MBE. Her legacy as one of Britain’s first true pop idols continues to resonate with fans old and new.
