Lulu, is a Scottish singer-songwriter, actress, and television personality. Under the wing of Marion Massey, she was signed to Decca Records and at the age of fifteen she had a huge hit with her version of The Isley Brothers' "Shout".
In 1966 Lulu toured Poland with The Hollies, the first British female singer to appear live behind the Iron Curtain. She left Decca after failing to chart in 1966 and signed with Columbia to be produced by Mickie Most.
In 1967 she made her debut film "To Sir, with Love", a British vehicle for Sidney Poitier. She had a major hit with the title song reaching number one in the United States.
In the meantime she continued her thriving pop career in the UK and had several television series of her own. On 29 March 1969, she represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest performing the song "Boom Bang-a-Bang", and she won.
Lulu's song came out the best in sales, with German, French, Spanish and Italian versions alongside the original English. Weeks before her Eurovision appearance Lulu had married Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees in a ceremony in Gerrards Cross.
Their careers and his heavy drinking forced them apart and they divorced, childless, in 1973 but remained on good terms. In 1974 she performed the title song in the James Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun".
The same year she covered David Bowie's song "The Man Who Sold the World", Bowie himself produced the recordings. Rumours of a brief affair were confirmed in her 2002 autobiography.
Now known as Lulu Kennedy-Cairns, in 2000 she was awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth. Lulu has continued to act occasionally and starred alongside Tom Courtenay and Stephen Fry in the British movie,
"Whatever Happened to Harold Smith?". She has more recently appeared in the BBC's reality TV show "Just the Two of Us" in 2006 as a judge and in late June and early July 2006 appeared on Take That's UK and Ireland tour
to perform their song "Relight My Fire". In early 2010, Lulu performed the theme "The Word Is Love" to the movie "Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!!".
