More about Lulu's music career
Lulu began her music career under the tutelage of Marion Massey and subsequently signed to Decca Records. She had her first hit with the cover of Isley Brother's Shout in 1964. Her cover peaked at number 7 on the UK singles chart, propelling her to a significant success.
The singer then participated in the Eurovision Song Contest of 1969, winning the contest with the song Boom Bang-a-Bang, which Peter Warne and Alan Moorhouse wrote. Speaking about her victory at the contest in an interview with John Peel after the contest in 1970, she stated,
"I know it's a rotten song, but I won, so who cares? I'd have sung "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" standing on my head if that's what it took to win.... I am just so glad I didn't finish second like all the other Brits before me, that would have been awful."
Winning the Eurovision Song Contest made the singer even more popular, resulting in her selection as the singer for the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. However, unlike her previous endeavors, the theme song did not prove to be popular, becoming the only Bond theme song to not chart in the UK or Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
The singer had her last major chart success with her studio album, Together, released on May 21, 2002. The gold-certified album peaked at number 4 on the UK album chart.
