Sheila is celebrating her 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer Sheila (Les Rois mages, L'École est finie, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Sheila, a cultural icon

Born Annie Yvonne Jeanne Gisèle Chancel in Créteil on August 16, 1945, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Sheila's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Sheila hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sheila as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 79.

Happy Birthday, Sheila, you're the best!
