In 1969, Evie Sands finally notched a hit with ‘Any Way That You Want Me’, the title track off her LP that year. In the preceding years, she had endured a lot of bad luck. Brooklyn-born Sands was gifted a soulful voice and secured a recording contract with the Blue Cat label in 1965. Her debut single ended up in the courts when Chess Records put out the same song; her follow-up ‘I Can’t Let Go’ was drowned out by the litigation before being more successfully covered by the Hollies. So she moved to Cameo Records, released the single ‘Angel of the Morning’ and then the label went bankrupt. By 1970, with a hit under her belt, she quit while ahead and moved into songwriting.
