Disc and Music Echo - 1969
Lulu And Bee Gee Maurice Gibb Romance OffLulu's three-month romance with Bee Gee Maurice Gibb is now officially over. The partnership - which was originally revealed by Disc on November 18 after the two had been seen at London's Saville Theatre together and later at a party at the Speakeasy club - has come to an end because of a row between Maurice and Lulu over a reported marriage proposal.
Lulu, who is currently touring America, was said to have made a Leap Year proposal to Maurice on the telephone.
"It's absolute rubbish," she said. "I would never propose to anyone. Our friendship is over."
In America, Lulu, who has been seen around town on several occasions with Monkee Davy Jones, has been receiving rave reviews for her appearances at the famous Coconut Grove in Hollywood.
Introduced on stage there by Tom Smothers, of the Smothers Brothers, Lulu's reviews include things like: "This mini-gowned young woman is another amazing production of modern show business. A stage presence unusual in one so youthful."- Los Angeles Times.
"She has an unaffected charm which is contagious and the capacity to approach the meaning of her lyrics with a quality of communication rare for singers in the rock pop genre."- Hollywood Reporter.
