Quotes
- “"No one smiled at me, or looked at me twice; shopping has become my time of reckoning; I will never be able to purchase the stardom I have lost."”
- “"I'd hate to be a man. I feel sorry for them, being so career driven. In the music industry there's so many of them, whereas as a woman you can make waves."”
- “"I cry when I say things I really believe in. I cry at board meetings and the men at the table get quite taken aback, I have to ask them to take no notice."”

Encyclopedic overview
Sandra Ann Goodrich MBE (born 26 February 1947), known professionally as Sandie Shaw, is an English retired singer. One of the most successful British female singers of the 1960s, she had three UK number one singles with "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" (1964), "Long Live Love" (1965) and "Puppet on a String" (1967). With the latter, she won the Eurovision Song Contest for the United Kingdom, becoming the first entrant from the country to win the contest. She was seen as epitomising the Swinging Sixties and was often described as "the barefoot pop princess of the 1960s". She returned to the UK Top 40, for the first time in 15 years, with her 1984 cover of the Smiths song "Hand in Glove". Shaw retired from the music industry in 2013.
