The legendary Ava Cherry

In this episode of Easy Jazz Spotlight, we speak with the legendary singer Ava Cherry from Chicago. Cherry, who worked as a waitress in New York City in the early 1970s, met David Bowie at a party. The two hit it off and had both a personal and professional relationship from 1972 to 1975. Cherry was a back-up singer for both Bowie and Luther Vandross, but also worked as a fashion model. She has a vibrant solo career that includes jazz, and more recently, has been producing her own music. Cherry, at 70 years of age, is not slowing down - planning to be in a movie soon. She spoke with our guest host Stefan Zaichkowski, about her remarkable career and her philosophies on life.

Ava's work on We Are The Dead by Bowie is very cool

Ava is a remarkable singer/entertainer. The fashion, hair etc., is just an extension of her awesomeness. I was thinking about her the other day when on a major Luther kick. I miss him. I also miss David Bowie. I'm so happy Ava is still recording. God bless!
