Sharon Tandy (born Sharon Finkelstein; 18 September 1943 – 21 March 2015) was a South African singer who achieved some success in the United Kingdom in the 1960s as part of the blue-eyed soul and psychedelic movements. In 1966, she recorded some songs at Stax studios, a rarity for a white singer. She also had several chart hits in South Africa in the 1970s. Sharon has one daughter, Wendy Crabb (Maas). She has three grandchildren - Leigh Marti (1990), Kelly Van Der Linde (1994), Kaila-Lee Crabb (2009). Sharon is a great grandmother to Kade Van Der Linde (2017) and Kenzie Van Der Linde (2021).
