Louise Gabrielle Bobb (born April 16 1970 , London ) is a British singer who records under the name '''Gabrielle'''. She has a problem with one eye and usually wears an eyepatch or dark glasses. Her debut single "Dreams" topped the UK charts in June 1993. A sample of Tracy Chapman 's "Fast Car" was requested but refused. The single entered the British charts at #2, which was the highest chart entry a debut act ever scored in the UK at that time. The following week it climbed to the top spot and spent the next three weeks there. Using a sample from Bob Dylan 's "Knocking on Heaven's Door", "Rise" became Gabrielle's second UK number one in 2000 . The album of the same name also reached the topspot and even spent 87 weeks in the chart. Other notable singles include "Give Me A Little More Time", "Walk On By" (a cover of the Dionne Warwick classic), "If You Ever" - a duet with East 17 and "Out of Reach" from the soundtrack to '' Bridget Jones's Diary ''.
