Lulu is a Pop act. Their sound grew out of Joey Negro, Johnny Harris, Bonnie Dobson, Elton John and Neil Diamond. Those roots explain a lot about how Lulu arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Sandie Shaw, Shirley Bassey, Herman's Hermits, Manfred Mann and Cliff Richard, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Engelbert Humperdinck, Bee Gees, Sandie Shaw, Elton John and Aretha Franklin, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
