Amanda Lear

The Profile

French singer, television personality, painter and former model. Rose to fame in the late 1970s with Eurodisco hits such as Follow Me, Queen of Chinatown and Blood and Honey. Known for a deep voice, an androgynous image, and a long association with Salvador Dalí.

Lear was a muse and close friend of Salvador Dalí, modeled in the 1960s, became a Eurodisco star from the late 1970s, and later hosted television programs in France and Italy.

Two DeBaser reviews frame Amanda Lear as Dalí’s androgynous muse turned Euro/Italo disco icon. They spotlight I Am a Photograph and Tam - Tam, with nods to “Blood and Honey” and “Tomorrow.” The tone is irreverent, mixing cultural jabs with admiration for Lear’s deep-voiced allure and club primacy. Publicly known: French singer, TV personality, painter, ex-model, active since the 1960s.
