• The singer known as Sheila (Annie Chancel) is little known outside her native France - with good reason - but this was a massive hit thanks to the prodigious talents of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards.
  
  At this time the two men were at the height of their powers both with their own band Chic and making hits for others. The Chic influence can be heard clearly on this song, which the two Americans wrote as well as produced.
