Sheila

her albums -> <-- link music albums about sheila Sheila is a French pop singer, whose real name is Annie Chancel (she is not related to the Jacques Chancel TV host). "Sheila" is the title of her first song.

Sheila started her musical career in 1962, after being noticed by Claude Carrère, a French music producer and songwriter. This collaboration would last actively for over 20 years. It ended definitely in 1995 with a highly publicized lawsuit.

Sheila had numerous and well-remembered hits in the sixties and in the seventies, playing the well-behaved young girl image.

In the Eight women movie, Ludivine Sagnier sang her 1963 "Papa t'es plus dans l'coup" (Daddy, you are out of touch with reality) hit.

In 1977 she came back as Sheila and B. Devotion (although in some countries her records were released under the name "Sheila B. Devotion") and changed her style to disco. She also started singing in English. She again enjoyed a strong success, with hits like "Spacer", "Love me baby" or a "Singin' in the rain" cover.

She ended the collaboration with Carrère at the beginning of the eighties, and since that time has had problems with keeping her musical career afloat. Although she is still very popular, she has problems releasing commercially viable albums.
