Amanda Lear is a French singer, lyricist, painter, television presenter, actress and former model. The first single from her 1978 album Sweet Revenge, "Follow Me", powered by Lear's characteristic deep and recitative voice and the theme of the devil, was an instant smash hit. It reached the top three in the West German singles chart, as well as top 10 in many European countries, and has been Lear's signature tune ever since. The Sweet Revenge album was certified gold in West Germany and France, and went on to sell in excess of four million copies, spawning further European hit singles "Gold" and "Enigma (Give a Bit of mmmm to Me)"...
