Lulu n. Informal: an outstanding person or thing ('Oxford Concise Dictionary').
Born in Glasgow just after the war, Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie was performing on stage by the age of twelve. Named "The Glen Eagles" after the hotel where they played, her band was quickly spotted by a record company, whose first task was to find a stage name for the tiny Scottish singer with the astonishing voice. "She's a lulu of a girl!" exclaimed her manager; the rest, as they say, is pop history.
This is the extraordinary story of how Lulu swapped the Glasgow tenements of her childhood for the world of international stardom.
Funny, frank and fascinating, Lulu's autobiography is as effervescent as the singer herself. Brimming with energy and entertainment, this is the remarkable story of the much-loved star with everything to 'shout' about.
