SUN SUN 10:00 The Reunion b01m2vmg (Listen) SUN '60s Girl Singers SUN In this edition of The Reunion, Sue MacGregor reunites five SUN women whose pop success helped make the sixties swing. SUN When people think about the music of the sixties, generally SUN they think of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, but the SUN girl singers of the period were also highly successful and SUN important. In the UK alone, Cilla Black had seventeen top SUN forty hits, Dusty Springfield and Sandie Shaw had fifteen SUN and Petula Clark had thirteen. This doesn't include the SUN success they all enjoyed abroad: these girls were SUN international stars having hits all over Europe and in the SUN United States. SUN But success did not always bring happiness and, for many of SUN the girl singers of the period, there were major lows SUN alongside the dizzying highs. The sixties may have been SUN swinging, but it wasn't an easy time for the women of the SUN period who, as well as having to navigate the vagaries of a SUN career in show business, often found themselves the focus of SUN enormous attention from the media and the public. It wasn't SUN always welcome. The gulf between their public lives and SUN their private lives was sometimes huge. SUN Joining Sue MacGregor is: Petula Clark, the child star of SUN the 1940s whose career went stratospheric in the 1960s; SUN Sandie Shaw, the barefoot pop princess who won the SUN Eurovision Song Contest; Helen Shapiro, Britain's first teen SUN pop star who was supported by The Beatles, Jackie Trent, SUN singer and songwriter who wrote hits for Petula Clark, Scott SUN Walker and many others; and Vicki Wickham, the legendary SUN producer of Ready Steady Go who went on to manage Dusty SUN Springfield.
