Editing Lulu (singer) (section)

===1970s: ''James Bond'' theme===
Lulu began 1970 by appearing on the [[BBC]]'s review of the 1960s music scene ''[[Pop Go the Sixties]]'', performing "Boom Bang-A-Bang" live on [[BBC1]] on 31 December 1969. She recorded another [[Jerry Wexler]], [[Tom Dowd]] and [[Arif Mardin]] album in the US, ''[[Melody Fair (album)|Melody Fair]]'', and scored a US Top 30 hit, "[[Oh Me Oh My (I'm a Fool for You Baby)]]", (later covered by [[Aretha Franklin]], [[Tina Arena]], [[Buster Poindexter]], and [[John Holt (singer)|John Holt]]) and collaborated with the Dixie Flyers on "Hum a Song (From Your Heart)".

Four more German-language tracks ("Ich brauche deine Liebe", "Wach' ich oder träum' ich", "Warum tust du mir weh", and "Traurig, aber wahr") were recorded on the Atlantic/WEA label. She was the subject of ''[[This Is Your Life (British TV series)|This Is Your Life]]'' on 10 May 1972, when she was surprised by [[Eamonn Andrews]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}}

Lulu was one of the main artists invited to appear on the BBC's anniversary show ''[[Fifty Years Of Music]]'' in 1972. The same year she starred in the Christmas [[pantomime]] ''[[Peter and Wendy|Peter Pan]]'' at the [[Opera House, Manchester]], and repeated her performance at the [[London Palladium]] in 1975. She returned to the same role in different London-based productions from 1987 to early 1989. She made an appearance on the ''Morecambe and Wise Show'' in 1973, singing "[[All the Things You Are]]" and "Happy Heart". Also in 1972, Lulu made a brief but memorable appearance, alongside [[Ringo Starr]], on ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]''. She and Starr fight with [[Michael Palin]], in his "It's Man" character as a talk show host whose programme goes awry.

On 27 May 1974, BBC1 screened ''Bruce Forsyth Meets Lulu'' a special variety TV show for the UK bank holiday.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/30a855183c86456f9ad573c6c5428778 |title=Bruce Forsyth Meets Lulu |date=27 May 1974 |publisher=BBC |access-date=10 November 2014}}</ref> In 1974, she performed [[The Man with the Golden Gun (soundtrack)|the title song]] for the James Bond film ''[[The Man with the Golden Gun (film)|The Man with the Golden Gun]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Man with the Golden Gun |url=http://www.allmusic.com/song/the-man-with-the-golden-gun-t1326108 |website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=5 September 2011}}</ref> Two slightly different versions of the song were used, at the start and end respectively; James Bond was mentioned in the end version. Released as a single, it is the only Bond film title track not to chart as a single in either the United Kingdom or the United States.

In the same year, Lulu covered [[David Bowie]]'s songs "[[The Man Who Sold the World (song)|The Man Who Sold the World]]" and "[[Watch That Man]]". Bowie and [[Mick Ronson]] produced the recordings. Bowie played saxophone and provided backing vocals. Rumours of a brief affair between him and Lulu were confirmed in her 2002 autobiography.<ref>Lulu 2002, p. 168.</ref> "The Man Who Sold the World" became her first Top 10 hit in five years, peaking at No. 3 in the UK chart in February 1974, and was a Top 10 hit in several other European countries. She recorded other songs with Bowie, including his "Dodo," that were never officially released. In 1975, she released the disco single "Take Your Mama For A Ride", which peaked in the UK chart at No. 37, remaining in the Top 75 for four weeks.

On 31 December 1976, Lulu performed "Shout" on BBC1's ''[[A Jubilee of Music]]'', celebrating British pop music, as part of  Queen Elizabeth II's [[Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II|impending Silver jubilee]] celebrations. In 1977, Lulu became interested in [[Siddha Yoga]]<ref name=yoga>{{cite news |last=Grice |first=Elizabeth |title=Lulu:'I think the best is yet to come – even now' |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/features/3635501/LuluI-think-the-best-is-yet-to-come-even-now.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/features/3635501/LuluI-think-the-best-is-yet-to-come-even-now.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |access-date=5 September 2011 |newspaper=telegraph.co.uk |date=4 February 2008}}{{cbignore}}</ref> and married hairdresser [[John Frieda]].
