Radio de Gabrielle

Louise Gabrielle Bobb (born April 16, 1970, Hackney) is a multi-platinum selling, Brit Award winning English singer who records under the name Gabrielle. A different Gabrielle is an adult contemporary singer/songwriter from New York City. Her debut single "Dreams" topped the UK charts in June 1993. 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. Gabrielle has won two BRIT Awards, the first in 1994 for British Breakthrough Act, and the second in 1997 for Best British Female.? Other notable singles include "Going Nowhere", "Give Me A Little More Time", "Walk on By" (a cover of the Burt Bacharach/Dionne Warwick classic) and "If You Ever" - a duet with East 17. After a bad few years, seeing the father of her new born son sent to prison for murder, and her life being splashed across the tabloids Gabrielle made a stunning comeback. Using a sample from Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", "Rise" became Gabrielle's second UK number one in 2000. The album of the same name also reached the top spot, where it stayed for three weeks. It spent 87 weeks in the charts.
