She studied art in Paris and in the 60s moved to London. During this period she got to know the most prominent designers, musicians and artists belonging to the artistic circles she frequented. Her preferences were predominantly for the Surrealist movement and for bodily expression, since she has also studied the art of mime. The meeting with Dali changed her life.
In the following 15 years she became the only woman friend, the muse and confidant of the great artist and his wife Gala. She lived in their house in Cadaquès (Spain) and accompanied them when they moved to New York and Paris in the winter. Although he had declared that a woman should never paint, Dali became her mentor, allowing her to work alongside him and teaching her all she knows about art and its techniques.
He took her to visit all the great museums of the world, acting as her guide in the discovery of artists from his own highly individual point of view. Famous throughout the world as a pop singer, she soared to celebrity when her first song entered the international hit parades, but this not lead her to neglect the passion of her life: painting.
In 1975, disillusioned by a shallow but surprisingly conservative fashion industry and encouraged by boyfriend David Bowie, who paid for singing and dancing lessons, Lear decided to launch a career in music. Bowie recommended her a Hungarian voice coach Florence Wiese-Norberg, with whom he also worked.[16] She would record a demo song called "Stars" with him, however, the track still remains unreleased
In 1980 she had her first show in Rotterdam. Encouraged by the success of this and the publicity generated by the media, she went on to display in Paris, Berlin, Milan and Geneva, attracting the attention of the European collectors. She likes to recall the fact that she waited 20 years before having the chance to show her paintings and she is grateful to Dali for having been her friend and teacher. Pop icon Amanda Lear has recorded 15 studio albums and has released some 60 singles to date and has so far sold approximately 15 million albums and 25-30 million singles worldwide.
2012 saw the release of a new album "I Don't Like Disco", from which a few single were taken including La bete et la belle and I Don't Like Disco.

Fever
Amanda Lear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me I get a fever that's so hard to bear.
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight.
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.
Moon lights up the night.
I light up when you call my name and you know I'm gonna treat you right.
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight.
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet
She felt the same.
When he put his arms around her
He said
Julia Baby
You're my flame.
I'll give us fever
When we kisses
Fever with my flaming youth.
Fever
I'm on fire
Fever yeah
I burn for sooth.
Ev'rybody's got the fever that is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever startet long ago.
Ev'rybody's got the fever that is something you all know
Now you're listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made:
Chicks were born to give you fever be it Fahrenheit or centigrade.
They give you fever
Yeah
When you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn - what a lovely way to burn
What y lovely way to burn - what a lovely way to burn
Yeah
Baby
I'll give you fever.
The song Fever by Amanda Lear is a love song that describes how the singer feels when her lover is around. She begins by expressing how much she loves and cares for her partner but does not know how to express it. The chorus, "When you put your arms around me, I get a fever that's so hard to bear," paints a picture of a passionate love. She goes on to describe the intensity of the fever that she experiences when she is with her partner - that it happens in the morning and all through the night.
The second verse draws a comparison between hers and Romeo's love for their partners. She uses the story as a metaphor to emphasize the power of love and how it can ignite a fever within. The bridge then confirms that everyone experiences this fever when they are in love, regardless of how long ago it started or how old it is. In the end, she concludes that love is the reason for the fever in the first place - "Chicks were born to give you a fever, be it Fahrenheit or centigrade," and she promises to give her lover the same fever.

David Pahlka
One of the most intelligent and mysterious women ever!
Always there is a hint of her playing with your mind.
Who else could be a friend of Salvadore Dali for 16 years?
Her message is: accept me for all my quirks, I am not just
a pretty woman.
Mia
My favourite covers of this song are the one by Madonna and this one. Both put their sexy personalities in it

@жора жора Дурак ты, Жора! Мне немного меньше, но и я с молодых лет от неё тащилась. Тогда на неё можно было посмотреть только в передаче "Мелодии и ритмы зарубежной эстрады", которая была ох как редка на нашем ТВ. Но энергетика её голоса доставала и с кассет!
Олег Виничук
@Sonia Skl Именно так. Я тоже услышал ее из этой передачи. А потом начался новый виток холодной войны и она исчезла из советских средств массовой информации. Голос настолько теплый и приятный. Вряд-ли мужчина может так спеть. Тут нужна женская душа...
