Graziella de Michele (born 28 December 1956) is a French singer-songwriter of Italian descent.[1] She is famous for her 1987 single "Le Pull-over blanc" ("The White Sweater"), which was a top-three hit on the SNEP singles chart[2] and achieved Silver status.[3]
In the early 1980s, De Michele followed her musical idols, Ramones and Talking Heads, around Europe before ending up stranded in London. She returned to France and worked as a nurse until she achieved success with "Le Pull-over blanc."[1]
The song was first covered by Arno Hintjens in 1990, then by Alexandre Balduzzi and Nolwenn Leroy of Star Academy on the Fait sa Boum album in 2003.[4]
De Michele's next singles passed unnoticed and therefore the singer can be considered as a one-hit wonder.[5]
