Young's castaway is the singer Sandie Shaw.
With her
melodic, velvety voice, bare feet and Sassoon bob she was the epitome of
everything that was swinging about the '60s.
She was just
17 when she first topped the charts with Always Something There to Remind Me
and went on to become Britain's first Eurovision winner with Puppet on a
String. She loathed the song at the time, but has recently come to terms with
it after recording a new version which is, she says, rather forlorn.
Along with
the highs have been terrible lows - years that she calls her dark ages, when,
without money or creative freedom, she felt hopeless. It was Buddhism that
turned her fortunes around and became central to her life. Now, she says, she
cannot believe the journey life has taken her on and she is preparing for a
final flourish as a performer.
