About Sheila

Sheila (born Annie Chancel) was one of the more successful of the numerous young "yé-yé" girls to enjoy success with cheerfully insipid pop/rock in France in the early and mid-'60s. Her early hits put the cuteness into overdrive, with her irrepressibly cheerful vocals often backed by chirpy choruses and whistling. After a while, Sheila did get into less innocuous sounds, largely by virtue of covers of American and British pop/rock tunes. Sheila continued to record throughout the remainder of the 20th century. Indeed, she had some success in the disco era, collaborating with Chic at the end of the 1970s on "Spacer." ~ Richie Unterberger
