Lyn Paul

about

Lyn Paul began her career in show business as a child actress with a small part in the television drama 'Coronation Street' in 1960 which led her to be in the first ever episode. In the early 1960's she changed her name to Tansy Paul and began a solo career as a pop singer. She went on to lead her own teenage girl band the Crys-Do-Lyns, touring all over the continent in the 1960s, before joining the Manchester group the Nocturnes along with Eve Graham, who subsequently left to join The New Seekers. When Sally Graham (no relation to Eve) left The New Seekers, Eve recommended Lyn for the position. Graham sang lead on most of their earlier hits, but Paul was gradually entrusted with a lot of the lead parts. She was the featured vocalist on hits including their 1972 Eurovision Song Contest entry, "Beg, Steal Or Borrow" in which they came second; the 1974 Number 1 hit "You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me"; and the Top 10 single, "I Get A Little Sentimental Over You". She also sang lead on the groups' final single "Sing Hallelujah" which, without the group to promote it, sank without trace. They also recorded the song "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", adapted from an advertising jingle for Coca-Cola, which is one of the 100 best-selling singles in the UK (list issued in 2002); selling over 20 million copies world wide. They had many other hits, including number 1's, top 5 hits and top 10 hits, which led to successful tours all over the world and performances in the London Pall
