===1990s: Musical comeback=== In 1993, Lulu made a recording comeback with the single "[[Independence (song)|Independence]]", which reached No. 11 in the UK Singles Chart. It was the title track from the ''[[Independence (Lulu album)|Independence]]'' album, and all four singles released from the album reached the lower ends of the UK chart, as did two later singles, released in 1994. Her second single after "Independence" was "I'm Back for More", a duet with soul singer [[Bobby Womack]], which charted at No. 27. The album was not successful, peaking at #67 in the [[UK Albums Chart]]. Also in 1993, the song "[[I Don't Wanna Fight]]", co-written by Lulu, her brother Billy Lawrie, and [[Steve DuBerry]], became an international hit for [[Tina Turner]]. Later that year, she guested on the [[cover version]] of the [[Dan Hartman]] song "[[Relight My Fire]]", with [[boy band]] [[Take That]]. The single reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, and Lulu appeared as Take That's supporting act on their 1994 tour. At that time, she also appeared as an unhappy public relations client of Edina Monsoon in two episodes of the BBC television programme ''[[Absolutely Fabulous]]'', and teamed with [[French and Saunders]] many times, including their send up of the [[Spice Girls]] (the Sugar Lumps) for [[Comic Relief]] in 1997, when she took the role of "Baby Spice", mimicking [[Emma Bunton]]. An album, provisionally titled ''Where the Poor Boys Dance'', was completed in late 1997 and due for release in early 1998, but was postponed by the record label, Mercury.<ref>Lulu 2002, p. 290.</ref> A single, "Hurt Me So Bad", was released in April 1999, which rose no higher than No. 42 in the UK and, a year later, the title track from the cancelled album reached No. 24, with Lulu appearing on ''[[Top of the Pops]]'' to promote it. In 1999, Lulu returned to BBC One to host the Saturday night [[National Lottery (United Kingdom)|National Lottery]] game show ''Red Alert''. The theme song, sung by Lulu, was released as a single but only reached No.59 in the UK. She also co-wrote and recorded a duet with UK pop singer [[Kavana (singer)|Kavana]] entitled "Heart Like the Sun", but it was not released commercially until Kavana's 2007 "greatest hits" collection, ''[[Special Kind of Something β The Best of Kavana|Special Kind of Something: The Best of...]]''.
