LIFE AND CAREER

Sheer was discovered at the beginning of the 1960s through a Talent Competition , but still took time to graduate from a bank apprenticeship in spite of her early success. She sang for several pop groups, such as Family Dogg , before she devoted herself from 1970 onwards to her solo career, focused mainly in Germany . She was marked an official success when "Goodbye Mama" became a Top 5 hit on the German charts in 1973. After that, she published numerous records, almost every one going on to become a hit in its own right. Sheer became a guest on several different television music-shows, including several appearances on the ZDF Hit Parade , one of Germany's most popular music programs.

In 1974 she represented singing ''Es ist niemals zu spät'' ("It is never too late").

Besides her solo performances, Sheer also sang a number of duets with her husband Gavin Du Porter and her colleague Bernhard Brink. Over 30 years after her first hit, Sheer is still a well-known member of the pop-music establishment in Germany, continuing to appear on music shows and publish new albums and singles.
