Janette Anne Dimech, known professionally as Jeanette, is an English-born Spanish singer and songwriter. She first rose to prominence as the lead singer of Pic-Nic, a teenage folk-pop band that found success in 1968 with her song "Cállate, niña". Jeanette returned as a solo artist in 1971 with the Hispavox single "Soy rebelde", which redefined her career as a romantic balladist and was a hit across the Spanish-speaking world, becoming a generational anthem.
In 1976, Carlos Saura included Jeanette's 1974 song "¿Porqué Te Vas?" in his film Cría cuervos, which propelled it to become a major hit and one of the most famous Spanish pop songs of all time and origined many versions of it in other languages, the most famous one being Russian "В Последний Раз". After the international success of "Porque te vas", Jeanette worked in France and Germany until she returned to the Spanish market with the 1981 album Corazón de poeta, which includes several of her most famous songs. The commercial reception of Corazón de poeta allowed her to record two more albums with RCA Victor-Reluz in 1983 and Ojos en el sol in 1984-which were unsuccessful.
