Some Famous People called Cheryl Lynn
Cheryl Lynn
Cheryl Lynn (born Lynda Cheryl Smith; March 11, 1957) is an American singer. She is best known for her songs during the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, including the 1978 R&B/disco song "Got to Be Real". Lynn's singing career began with her church choir when she was a girl. Her professional singing career started in 1976 when she obtained a job as a backing vocalist for the national touring company of the musical drama The Wiz. Eventually, she obtained the role of Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West, during the six-month national tour.
Prior to her appearance in The Wiz, Lynn taped an episode of The Gong Show during early 1976, performing Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful". The judges - Della Reese, Avery Schreiber, and Jamie Farr - gave her a collective score of 21; a previous act (a singing juggler) had also scored 21, and in the audience applause tie-break the juggler was deemed the winner. For years the urban legend has persisted that Cheryl scored a perfect 30, but a recently posted clip on YouTube shows this not to be the case. After the episode was broadcast, during the fall of 1976, record industry executives were interested in contracting her.
