Lulu OBE - Singer
Lulu is a singer & TV personality and was awarded the OBE in 2000 for her contribution to the Entertainment Industry. She was a Brownie in Glasgow."The bottom line is to do everything in moderation. It's also important to laugh at yourself."
Sean Connery - He has dignity, integrity, strength and character. He has been a great ambassador for Scotland.
Renee Macintosh School of Art in Glasgow. He was a unique to Glasgow as Gaudi was to Barcelona. Of course, he is admired the world over.
There's never one reason for anything, there's never one answer for everything. For me there
isn't one song so I'm going to choose a couple.
Shout, I Don't Wanna Fight and Where the Poor Boy's Dance.
Aretha Franklin, Prince, Sam Cooke and Andre 3000.
I love Elton for everything that he is.
Michael McDonald is a brilliant singer. His technique never overshadows his amazing soul.
Again there are several. Being successful in the 60's. Starting out at the same time as the Beatles and the Stones and being acknowledged by them.
Having an American Number 1 when I was just 17. Getting a songwriting Grammy nomination for
the Tina Turner song, I Don't Wanna Fight. Everyone keeps telling me I should be proud
of being the only British woman to have hits in every decade.
I suppose I should be quite pleased with myself really. I know my mum would be proud.
Carol King - she is a brilliant songwriter and her songs are timeless. They are as fresh today as when I first heard them and she has taught herself to sing. She doesn't instantly have a great voice but it always conveys the heart and soul that comes through in her songs.
This is a difficult question to answer but off the top of my head I would say lifestyle, optimistic attitude, philosophy and health. The bottom line is to do everything in moderation. It's also important to laugh at yourself.
Very good question - tough one.....
Maria Callas - The diva of divas
John Lennon - I loved him so.
So many people say so many things about these two artists but I would have loved to know what
was really going on in their heads.
