艺人介绍

by Jason AnkenyBritish pop singer Sandra Barry began her performing career in infant talent shows before attending stage school; as Sandra Alfred, she made her earliest records in 1957 while co-starring on comedian Dave Kings television series, and also appeared on radio on the long-running Educating Archie. Roles in several of the St. Trininans film comedies preceded her 1963 re-emergence under the name Mandy Mason; a brief stint at Parlophone was followed a year later by another name change, this time to Sandra Barry. Backed by the Boys — singer Reggie King, guitarist Alan King, bassist Mike Evans and drummer Roger Powell, who would all later join forces with guitarist Pete Watson to become mod cult favorites the Action — she signed to Decca for 1964s Really Gonna Shake; after the Boys broke off on their own, Barry was backed by the Jet Blacks, which featured future Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones. When a handful of outstanding singles for Pye including 1965s We Were Lovers (When the Party Started) and a cover of the Lloyd Price hit Question failed to catch on commercially, Barry spent the remainder of the decade out of the spotlight; in 1973, she resurfaced with yet another new stage name, Alice Spring, as the frontwoman of pub-rock combo Slack Alice.
