@yukseleyy Thanks for your kind words, Jimmy. Much appreciated!

Graham, thanks for pointing that out: I forgot that Debbie Boone's song was number one for 1977. Also I think that was a big no-no for Lulu to wear a dress with boots (she should of wear high heeled shoes). It would of had been amusing if Lulu had worn a men's suit with tie (considering that Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, and other singer Marianne Faithful had done that during the 1960's)!

Lulu wore a suit and tie on Top Of The Pops when she released her version of the David Bowie song "The Man Who Sold The World" in 1974. This androgenous look was in stark contrast to her more fluffy look in the sixties!

Lulu today with her blond hair makes her looks like she could be Olivia Newton John's cousin. Her reaction to what she wore in 1967 is priceless. Considering that she was copying what other singer Nancy Sinatra was wearing (short dress with long leather boots). Isn't it amazing that her song "To Sir With Love" was the number one song in America for 1967? Even more so, she and Kim Carnes ("Bette Davis Eyes") are the only female singers to have the #1 song for the year during the top 40 era.

Thanks for your comment. I believe that Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" was the best selling single of 1977 in the United States. In Britain, the single reached only #48 in the charts. Interestingly, the b-side, "Hasta Manana", is an Abba song.

@34wellmeadow She say's it herself.....She was trying so hard to get it right. She even makes fun if her "english accent", while speaking with a Glaswegin accent. That doesn't make her a phoney.
