Sandie Shaw: Why Sandie triumphed

Keith Altham, New Musical Express, 26 February 1965

ONLY SANDIE Shaw, who has just come through the most terrifying test of her career, would have done it. I was with her recently in the Green Room (artists' room) at Ready, Steady, Go!

That's typical of the most unaffected girl in show business! She deserves to triumph — she's so natural.
