Shaw initially became a star in the 1960s when she scored eight Top 10 singles in the UK alone, including three Number Ones (a first for a female), and became the first British act to win the Eurovision Song Contest. She had semi-retired from public life in the early 1970s, after being dropped from Pye Records in 1972 after issuing a series of non-charting singles.

Frederick (song)
"Frederick" is a song written by Patti Smith, and released as lead single from Patti Smith Group 1979 album ''Wave''. The song is dedicated to Fred "Sonic" Smith, guitar player of the Detroit band MC5 and Smith's future husband. The melody of "Frederick" is a homage to Bruce Springsteen's live arrangement of " Prove It All Night" from the then-recent Darkness Tour of 1978. Reception ''Smash Hits'' said, "Patti has been getting a lot of stick from her original admirers for 'selling out' and going pop. I think they're being short-sighted (not to mention cloth-eared). This is an excellent sample of her new work with producer Todd Rundgren." Covers The song was covered by Sandie Shaw in 1986. The B-side was entitled "Go Johnny Go", and had been written by Shaw as a tribute to Johnny Marr.
