Lulu Has Done Since the Early Seven�Es

Home , Amy Winehouse, A Fool for You, Paloma Faith, The Man Who

“The ﬁrst me I heard her sing, I knew we were born in the same pond” James Brown

The Sunday Times “Amid the blues-rock power chords there’s an echo of Amy Winehouse, a hint of Rod Stewart, but the dominant presence is the lady herself, sounding every bit as revved up as she did in the 1960’s. An impressive return”

The Sunday Telegraph “Making Life Rhyme is the best thing Lulu has done since the early Sevenes. Before Amy Winehouse, before Adele there was Lulu. It is a very ﬁne album, perhaps the best she has ever made” The Daily Mail “Shout it loud... Lulu's made a humdinger: Making Life Rhyme is late-career renaissance”

The Observer “The 11 mainly self-penned songs here showcase her sll powerful voice, spread across a surprisingly wide range of genres. A solidly enjoyable collecon”

The Mail On Sunday “Lulu’s voice, already raspy at 15, rasps sll, but it retains an impressive purity too”

The Times “A tasteful collecon of bluesy riﬀs and Motown-nged melodies” “Making Life Rhyme is a digniﬁed showcase for her talents”

Daily Star “This self-penned set shows what a soulful singer she can be. Classy tunes to have you shoung with delight”

The Daily Telegraph “They are songs with emoonal substance, a lifeme of hurt and wisdom in the life- aﬃrming lyrics and raspy singing”

The Sun “Lulu sll has something to SHOUT about at 66 and aer 51 years in music” Lulu Coverage date: 10 April 2015 Circulation: 2125292 Page: 51

Before Adele, There Was Lulu

Fans of Adele (and Duffy, Amy Winehouse, Emeli Sandé and Paloma Faith) probably know that she is part of the second wave of British women with a deep affinity for American pop and soul music. The first was in the ’60s, when the great triumvirate was Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield and Lulu, who made her first New York appearance in a 50-year career Saturday night at B.B. King’s.

That career has had long legs in Britain in music, ﬁlm and TV (she plays herself in a series of hilarious cameos on “Absolutely Fabulous”). But Lulu has had a number of big splashdowns on this side of the Atlantic, too. There was her signature song, “To Sir, With Love,” a mammoth No. 1 hit in 1967 that has survived numerous remakes, including a couple by Lulu herself. That one, like her other hits — “Oh Me, Oh My (I’m a Fool For You Baby),” “The Man Who Sold the World” — combines a growly, gravelly energy with decorous phrasing that ﬁnds the sweet spot between melody and rhythm.

At B.B. King’s this weekend, she tore through a catalog of American soul, with the help of Paul Shaffer and members of the Fab Faux. Now 64, she has lost little of the power and the passion in her voice. But as thrilling as it was to hear her sing “Unchain My Heart” and “Try a Little Tenderness,’’ the best moments of the show were her own “I Don’t Wanna Fight” (which she wrote for Tina Turner in the ’90s) and a stomping version of the Beatles’ “You Can’t Do That.’’ Even “To Sir, With Love” held a surprise as she sang it with the ﬂuid, soulful arrangement Al Green used in his ’70s remake. The wall-to-wall crowd couldn’t get enough, and not just because they were happy to be in the same room with a legend. She brought the goods; may this show be only the ﬁrst of a renewed love affair with her American audiences.

James Brown: “The ﬁrst me I heard her sing, I knew we were born in the same pond”

Elton John: Lu is one of the great vocalists that the UK has produced. She is sounding beer than ever. Her love of current music and arsts has kept her relevant, and, she is held in high esteem from the great vocalists of her me and the present day.

Jools Holland: “Lulu has one of the most amazing voices I know. Her voice sounds like it comes out of the blues. She could sing the phone book and make it sound great. A unique voice and one of the greatest. Nobody else sounds like Lulu”.
