Lulu Kennedy-Cairns, OBE (born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie on 3 November 1948 in Lennoxtown, Stirlingshire), best known by her stage name Lulu, is a Scottish singer-songwriter, actress,and television personality who has been successful in the entertainment business from the 1960s through to the present day. She is most famous worldwide for her hit "To Sir, with Love" and in the UK for "Shout". Lulu grew up in Dennistoun,Glasgow, where she attended Thomson Street primary school and Whitehill Senior Secondary School. She lived in the Gallowgate for a while before moving to Garfield Street. Taken under the wing of Marion Massey, she became famous at the age of fifteen with her version of The Isley Brothers "Shout", delivered in a raucous and extraordinarily mature voice. Her backing group was called The Luvvers, but after several more British hits she left the group to become a solo artist. Massey would guide her career for more than 25 years, for most of which she was Lulu's equal partner as a business enterprise. Massey's husband Mark London also wrote many of Lulu's hits.
