Graziella de Michele (born 28 December 1956) is a French singer-songwriter of Italian descent.[2] 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[3] and achieved Silver status.[4]

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."[2]

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.[5]

De Michele's next singles passed unnoticed and therefore the singer can be considered as a one-hit wonder.[6]
