CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:SANDIE SHAW "puppet on a string" B/W "tell the boys" 1967
probably the finest UK female singer of her era...
"A" side, absolute classic IMO, i love it...
"B" side is just as good
single made it to #1 on the UK charts
Nobody should dare dismiss Ms. Shaw as just another pop tart--gleaned from the Wiki are these: 1) She's a psychotherapist who, with her husband,devised a distinct method for trative the creative; 2) designed her own clothing, having a line and company; 3) she has written children's books; 4) has led international campaigns to right wrongs; 5) was the first big artist to cover Led Zeppelin *; 6) has been a TV host and occasional actress; 7) successfully sued the English music giant, PYE Records, to get control of her catalog
A brilliant cover from 2 very different eras:

BTW, she hated that song "Puppet on a String" (called it sexist drivel) and the oom-pah style of it, and re-recorded it much later as "Puppet's Got a Brand New String". Can't find an example.
