Was an English singer-songwriter, primarily in the 1960s. Twinkle's most famous songs were "Terry" and "Golden Lights".In concept "Terry" bore some similarities to the Shangri-Las' "Leader of the Pack" (1964), both teenage tragedy songs about a girl lamenting the death of her daredevil boyfriend in a motorcycle crash. The record caused a furore, accusations of bad taste leading to its ban from the BBC.[2] Only 16 at the time, Twinkle owed her rapid entry into the recording studio to her then boyfriend, Dec Cluskey, of the popular vocal group The Bachelors, who passed on her demo to his manager.[2] Jimmy Page was among the high profile session musicians who played on "Terry".[2]

She grew up in a Jewish family in Cricklewood, North London[1] and attended South Hampstead High School and Hornsey College of Art.Famous for her keyboard skills, ability to write catchy songs and sultry looks, de Paul first hit the UK charts in 1972, initially as the songwriter of the Fortunes' hit, "Storm in a Teacup". A few months later she was propelled into the limelight as the performer of her own hit song "Sugar Me", which rapidly found its way into the Top Ten, of the UK Singles Chart (at #5) as well as the top of the singles charts in Holland and Belgium. "Sugar Me" was rapidly followed by "Getting a Drag" (a #18), a quirky song in a completely different vein about finding out that her boyfriend likes to cross-dress. She was the first woman to be awarded an Ivor Novello Award for her classic ballad, "Won't Somebody Dance With Me", another UK Top 20 hit. The BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Ed Stewart spoke the words "May I Have The Pleasure Of This Dance" near the end of the record (he often played the record on his Junior Choice programme on Saturday mornings) although Tony Blackburn did it when she appeared on Top of the Pops (see List of performers on Top of the Pops).
