During the 1960s, she achieved another five top-ten hits in the United Kingdom, including Boom Bang-a-Bang, which won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1969. With a powerful voice in 1974, she sang the title song for the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun.
English boy band Take That covered Relight My Fire in 1993 with guest vocals from Scottish singer Lulu, reprising the Holloway role. It was released in September 1993 by RCA and BMG as the third single from Take That's second album, Everything Changes (1993).
