Discover or Re-discover Cheryl Lynn
I always thought that Bette Midler could really sing Daybreak (Storybook Children). Until I heard Cheryl Lynn do it. She makes Better Midler's version sound anemic! And, Midler is GOOD! Cheryl Lynn even changes the words to where they make more sense, given the "story" of the song. Ah, and the rest of the CD is good, too! This CD is one of those hidden gems of...

A primer for the forgotten 70's powerhouse

A primer for the forgotten 70's powerhouse, May 11, 2003
This review is from: The Real Thing (Audio CD)
Cheryl Lynn remains one for the ages: a voice that transcended her material and the short time that she was in the limelight. This "Sony Special Products" disc doesn't even scrape the surface of the explosive vocalist. Culled from her 1978 debut album (6 cuts), 1980's "In Love" (2 tracks), the title cut from 1984's "Preppie", and "It's Gonna Be Right from 1985 (1 cut), there are still some glaring omissions, specifically her duet with Luther Vandross ("If This World Were Mine") and her R & B smash "Encore". If one is just interested in a few choice Lynn samples, then this is the one to have. However, the true fan would be best to invest in "Got to Be Real: The Best of Cheryl Lynn".

Cheryl Lynn even changes the words to where they make more sense, given the "story" of the song. Ah, and the rest of the CD is good, too! This CD is one of those hidden gems of music. But, it is a singer's CD, so listen to the cuts and maybe even do some searching on YouTube to listen to full length version(s) before buying. Then again, what's ten bucks or so for a CD?
