1948 - ? Mhairi McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie is a wee singer, fae Glasgow...

Lulu (singer) Lulu was born in Lennoxtown, East Dunbartonshire and grew up in Dennistoun, Glasgow, where she attended Thomson Street Primary School and Onslow Drive Junior School. She lived in Gallowgate for a while before moving to Garfield Street. At the age of 12 or 13 she and her manager approached a band called the Bellrocks seeking stage experience as a singer. She appeared with them every Saturday night: Alex Thomson, the group's bass player, has reported that even then her voice was unbelievable. Lulu has two brothers and a sister.[1] Her father was a heavy drinker.[2] Under the wing of Marion Massey, she was signed to Decca Records, and when she was only fifteen, her version of The Isley Brothers' "Shout", (as 'Lulu & the Luvvers ) delivered in a raucous but mature voice, reached the UK charts. Massey guided her career for more than 25 years, for most of which time they were partners in business, and Massey's husband, Mark, produced some of Lulu's recordings.[3]
