Biography
Sheila & B. Devotion, a French musical group, was formed in 1977 by French singer Sheila who had achieved significant success as a solo artist in France during the 1960s and 1970s with hits such as "L'Ãcole est finie" (1963) and "Petite Fille de français moyens" (1968). Along with three Afro-American singers and dancers: Dany Mac Farlane, Freddy Stracham, and Arthur Wilkins, the group's debut single, "Love Me Baby", was released anonymously in May 1977 under the name S.B. Devotion but quickly became a hit, leading to the revelation of Sheila & B. Devotion as the artists behind the song. Their follow-up single, a disco version of "Singin' in the Rain", further solidified their popularity. Sheila & B. Devotion released three albums: Singinâ in the Rain (1977), Disque dâor (1979), and King of the World (1980). Notable songs from these albums include "You Light My Fire" (1978) and "Spacer" (1979), which reached significant chart positions in Europe. In 1979, Sheila collaborated with Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of Chic on King of the World, which included the hit single "Spacer". The group disbanded in 1980 following the release of their final album. After the disbandment, Sheila returned to her solo career, releasing albums such as Little Darlin' (1981).
