Sheila (French singer)
Sheila , actually Annie Chancel (born August 16, 1945 in Créteil , Île-de-France ) is a French pop singer. She celebrated great success as a soloist in France in the 1960s, before she was able to land some international hits with the disco project Sheila & B. Devotion in the late 1970s .
Life
Sheila started her career in 1962 when she was discovered by Claude Carrère - a French producer and songwriter. The association ended in 1995 after a lawsuit.
Her first published single was called Sheila . In the following years she had several hits in the 1960s and 1970s, where she embodied the type of the well-protected young girl. Her first hit was L'école est finie in 1962 (School has ended).
She made her international breakthrough in 1977 when she performed under the new band name Sheila & B. Devotion . She changed her music style by singing English language disco funk. Among other things, the well-known American producer Nile Rodgers was hired for the title Spacer . Other titles of a similar style such as Love Me Baby and a cover version of Singin 'in the Rain brought her international recognition. The refrain from Spacer was reused in 2001 with a new melody and lyrics as Crying at the Discotheque by the group Alcazar .
After Carrère stopped working for her in the early 1980s, Sheila struggled to maintain her musical career. A show produced in 1985 under the title Zenith in Paris flopped.
Nevertheless, she is still in business and had concert successes in 1998 and 2002, but she did not achieve any major record successes.
In 2011 she took part in the second season of the dance show Danse avec les stars .
