In 1978 they signed with CBS France and recorded their first album: Vampire Rock, and a year later, in 1979, they recorded their second album Solid As A Rock in New-York and San Francisco with Columbia record producer Sandy Pearlman, known for creating the band Blue Öyster Cult. Ross Friedman, aka Ross the Boss, guitarist from New York joined to become the lead-guitarist of Shakin' Street.
She released her autobiography in 2014, "Sexe, Drogues & Rock'n'roll", co-written with French rock critic, Jean-Eric Perrin.
