"Frederick" is a song by American singer Patti Smith, later covered in 1986 by British singer Sandie Shaw. Shaw was most famous for her hit singles in the 1960s, but had made a comeback having been persuaded by Morrissey and Johnny Marr of The Smiths to cover one of their songs. By 1986, Shaw had been signed to Polydor Records for two single releases, this being the second. The B-side was entitled "Go Johnny Go," and had been written by Shaw as a tribute to Johnny Marr.
