Quote: "Even Malcolm McLaren, the controversial Sex Pistols manager, would add to it, asserting that she represented the 'utmost of the pinup girl, pinned to the walls of every trendy pop apprentice's bedroom down in Chelsea. Many bands in their prime, like the Beatles or the Stones, dreamt of dating her."

  • A fine expansion on one of the greatest French pop singers of all time. Seems to be appropriately sourced from spot checks, and a check for copyvios comes back with false positives with song titles and brief quotations. Image is properly licensed and good quality. I prefer ALT1, which is appropriately sourced (have to AGF for book sources, both in the hook and cited in the article generally - the formatting of references is not an issue) and will make people sit up and pay attention. I've tweaked "wooed" to "admired", which is a bit milder. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:56, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
