"The Gleneagles were one of the handful of bands stomping around Glasgow blasting out raw, loud R&B and when Lulu joined the band the only thing that changed was the band's name. Lulu & the Luvers (or Lulu & the Lovers or Lulu & the Luvvers) made a handful of singles but it was their first, a rippin' version of the Isley Brother's 'Shout' which hit the biggest. After that it was diminishing returns. In 1965, Lulu ditched her Luvvers and struck out on a pretty successful solo career ('To Sir With Love').

Here is the B-side of the 'Shout' single, a great swinging stomp with Lulu singing strained throated and a great twang guitar solo. 'Shout' is fine, but I've heard it a zillion times before. The hit here is 'Forget Me Baby.'"
