Oh my God ! I love that song so much. When I hear it, I just can't help dancing and singing. That's crazy. Thank you so much for that reaction, Dereck. You've made my day 🤩
Sheila is a big star in France since the early 60‘s the „ye ye“ years… she reinvented herself as an English singing disco queen by 1977 with several pan European hits… she had come back by 1999 with Dense and had most recently another big hit on the French charts..
Sheila's career was on a decline when she came along singing in english with the aka SB devotion. As there weren't any video yet, only a few people reconized her voice, it was a new start that gave a real boost to her career!
Not at all, in 1977, Sheila's career was not on decline in France ("C'est le coeur", "Quel tempérament de feu", "Prince en exil", "Patrick mon chéri", "L'Arche de Noé", all french covers in "Top 5" in 75/77) but she wanted to renew herself with B.Devotion, original songs in english and she was made for disco (the europeans hits "Love me Baby", "Singin'in the rain" "I don't need a doctor", "You light my fire" and this US masterpiece "Spacer"). And always, great choreographies...
Sheila was a French artist but had great success in the States as Sheila and B. Devotion (B standing for Black) The group recorded two albums before dissolving in 1980, when Sheila returned to her solo career. This is unlike many more famous French artists who didn't have any success in the States. ... Sheila was also part of a duo Ringo & Sheila with her husband with a series of hits in France.
Hi Sheila is a very famous singer since the 60's, B doesn't mean big but black. She was the first french singer who performed with a group with only black men end of the 70's... She is still performing and just published a great CD in french with some english songs one produced by Nile Rodgers, two by Keith Olsen! Glad you enjoyed her voice her carreer was so long with amazing songs !
My favorite singer growing up. Other titles in English from her you might want to listen: “Love me baby”, “Little darling”, “Put it in writing”, “I don’t need a doctor”, “King of the world” or her banana worthy disco version of “Singing in the rain”. Otherwise she’s had a long career, started when she was 16, back in the 60s.
Thank you so much for this video! Dalida and Sheila are my favorite!😍😍😍 You should also listen to "Love me baby", "singin' in the rain", "move it", "No, no, no, no" from Sheila!
Produced by Bernard Edwards (was best bass funk ever) and Nile Rodgers (best funk guitarist ever) Nile already knew Sheila with her title "Love me baby" another disco hit of the French singer outed in 77. Sheila is a real good friend of Nile. The April 01/2021 (for French: it's not a joke lol) Nile and Sheila have recorded together a new title really disco funk called "Law of Attraction", you can listen it here: ua-cam.com/video/etO1Mp4O5yk/v-deo.html
*Merci Dereck pour ce beau cadeau. Cette chanson avec sa mélodie est pas mal, et Sheila la met bien en valeur. Et je vois que tu sais apprécier les bonnes choses!!*
Dereck, this is pure Chic Corporation. I'd recommend Lost In Music and Thinking Of You by Sister Sledge. Or I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross. And Chic itself, of course. Good Times. Or maybe My Forbidden Lover.
I totally love this and the Alcazar song using the same background music. Sophie Ellis Bextor also does a fabulous version of Crying at the Discotheque.
Thx for the great reaction And yes...the 12" from this song is 100 times better,you should check it out If you like "euro-disco" you should try Amanda Lear with the song "Follow me"
hi dereck! if you heard the long version: it's bomb. sheila remixed this song later and still so much fun. When she appeared with this style of song it made noise lol and a white girl with black dancers got a lot of talk too, some had a hard time swallowing it. Especially since Sheila was nicknamed 'the little fiancée of the French' lol
I'm so glad you reacted to this! This song does not get enough credit, and is so damn catchy. Think of how many other songs after this that completely lifted the chorus melody of "he's a spaaa-aaa-cer" - from the Wim Martens classical 1982 piece Struggle For Pleasure, to Cutting Crew's Died In Your Arms, right up through Mika's Relax Take It Easy (and of course the Alcatraz direct sample, but I'm sure they paid for that one). When you listen to them back to back, it's kind of nuts that there was never a lawsuit with Cutting Crew or Mika, they sound SO similar. But it's a killer melody in each incarnation.
Thanks for your video. This song is like a time machine. I remember when I was young and dancing with my friends. Please react to Patrick Juvet I love america and Cerrone Je suis music.
Coucou Dereck, Sheila raconte que lorsque son disque a été programmé en radio FM les animateurs ne reconnaissaient pas sa voix alors que les auditeurs l avait reconnue. Et aussi que le nom du groupe SB Dévotion avait bien sûr contribué à ce que Sheila passe sur les platines des discothèques, sinon le disque ne serait jamais passé (chanteuse de variétés période yéyé). Merci 😉
When you realize that dereck does everything we miss on old FM bands. Thank you for your sincere and enriching approach! Don't stop reacting with your guts and sing as much as you want!

In France with us Sheila a great singer always présent also she has very beautiful songs Sheila in addition she is a very great friend to the legendary Claude François (Cloclo) ,the creator of the original version of the song (My way) inquire on Google ,not long ago I miss Sheila Said Claude François I like Sheila as well as Claude François (Cloclo) Sheila in France is still in the news it is one of the few she is on the podium with Claude François and Johnny Hallyday, they are the most in France
Wow!!! You actually used the video I uploaded years ago on dailymotion!!! It was weird to see my name appear every time you paused.. Glad you enjoyed the art of Sheila man! Most of us fans have been following her since the 60s to this day. She has just recorded a new song produced and written by Nile Rogers “Law of attraction “ you should check it out and maybe do a follow up on what she is doing over 40 years after she recorded “Spacer”
for the record Sheila was a singer of the 60s what is called here in France the "yéyé" when the disco arrived knowing that the producers had placed her in the boxes singer "yéyé and popular singer" Sheila has actually listened to this piece of the locomotion group without saying that it is her. It was at the television premiere that everyone discovered that it was Sheila, even the host of the show "Michel Drucker" did not know then that he had known Sheila for years. And it's the first white woman dance with black man. at this time it's révolution. And if i remember it's first time she sing in english.
I remember this from my elementary days in the late 70s/early 80s. Reminds of The Dooleys' Wanted and Body Language. Maybe you can react to that too if there are good videos for it available.
Amazing masterpiece very classic wait a minute is Dereck singing??? In that case is Sheila & B. Devotion featuring Dereck - Spacer. Great reaction man excellent😎😎😎👍👍👍
I was sure you would adore her ;-) she is amazing. one of our French Gems... my first 45 is one of hers, "Singing in The Rain", with B-Devotion too, I was 5 !
This song was number 3 in France # 5 in Italy #18 in Uk #8 Ireland #95 in Australia # 7 in Argentina # 5 in Belgium #14 Flemish Bergium # 22 in Netherlands # 9 in Germany #18 in Switzerland # 20 in Denmark # 19 in South Africa #24 in Israel
This song is one the reasons why Bowie decided to work with Nile Rodgers, Debbie Harry loved it too and went on to record Backfired, also produced by Nile... this hit is basically and unsung hero kind of track, a true gem.
Sheila, an IMMENSE career, a MONUMENT of french music, a true ICON in our country! I wish I had been older to live at her time where she was at the top, it was really something...
there is a swedish group called ALCAZAR who recorded a song called CRYING AT THE DISCOTEQUE which musically sounds like spacer. so i would check that out. also their gay anthem SOMEDAY and other recordings such as BLAME IT ON THE DISCO-key chainge on this one-live at melodifestvalen 2014.. NOT A SAINT NOR A SINNER,, STAY THE NIGHT,SHINE ON and many covers they have done such as FUNKYTOWN. ABBA'S AS GOOD AS NEW, DONT YOU WANT ME. YOUNG GUNS AND START THE FIRE/ YOU WILL LOVE THEM!!!
Legendary Sheila and Nile Rodgers...
Produced by Nile Rodgers from Chic.
You should check "le Freak" by Chic 😉.
Or Upside down (Diana Ross).
This song was successful as well as in France especially in Italy.
The Alcazar took inspiration from it to make the famous "Crying at the Discoteque"
The track charted in the UK too
Oh my God ! I love that song so much. When I hear it, I just can't help dancing and singing. That's crazy. Thank you so much for that reaction, Dereck. You've made my day 🤩
Nile said many times it's the best "Chic" song he's EVER written.
I DO AGREE !
Alcazars crying at the discoteque is a cover based in this
Sheila is a star in France since 1963

Trop bien, cela faisait longtemps que je ne l'avais pas écouté 😁 merci Derek
Ça me fait plaisir aussi
Ecoutez "rumeurs" de Sheila que j ai bien apprécié
Sheila a beaucoup souffert des rumeurs sur elle, on a dit qu elle était un homme,(c rst dingue!)
On t aime Sheila !
There is an aweeesome long version of this.. i love this song, Nile rodgers through and through

Put it in writing and little darling are super 👌 (Keith olsen is the productor)
Pat benatar and scorpions worked with him
I was waiting to see if someone was gonna mention her Singin' In The Rain cover. Worth it for the choreography alone!
Thank you so much for this video! Dalida and Sheila are my favorite!😍😍😍 You should also listen to "Love me baby", "singin' in the rain", "move it", "No, no, no, no" from Sheila!

Sheila, super disco songs
You should listen to "Little darling" (Sheila alone) and "You light my fire" (with B Devotion). She's just incredible in these two songs!
Coucou Dereck,
Sheila raconte que lorsque son disque a été programmé en radio FM
les animateurs ne reconnaissaient pas sa voix alors que les auditeurs l avait reconnue. Et aussi que le nom du groupe SB Dévotion avait bien sûr
contribué à ce que Sheila passe sur les platines des discothèques, sinon le disque ne serait jamais passé (chanteuse de variétés période yéyé). Merci 😉
Bonjour, elle a caché son nom pour le titre " Love me baby " sorti plutôt
@@VJXtian oh oui je me suis trompée de titre merci !
Thank you Derek, Sheila has been always underrated in France.
C' est malheureusement vrai !
Do you recognize the Chic vibes in this , very cool !!
Fun fact : this song peaked at #44 on the dance US charts.
Une chanson qui est vraiment géniale
Ufff A Nile Rodgers production.....elegant,catchy,sophisticate.....a legend as well as his creation with Bernard Edwards Chic!!!
