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, a daytime entertainment show during June 1976,
performing Joe Cocker's "You Are
So Beautiful".
Impressing her celebrity judges Jaye P. Morgan, Rex Reed
and Elke Sommer, Lynn scored a perfect 30 and was later declared the winner.
However, Lynn ended up appearing on the show twice, due to the fact the
producers were debuting a nighttime version. According to an interview
conducted and appearing in the September 1980 periodical "Black Stars" magazine, Lynn indicated that she was
invited back in September 1976 to tape the all-new prime time version. 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 (and also because of Lynn's prior win) the juggler
was deemed the winner.
Cheryl Lynn is
the first studio album by the American singer Cheryl Lynn. It was officially released on October 13,
1978, by Columbia
Records and
included Lynn's first single and biggest hit "Got to Be Real".
You saved my day
Now that you love is here to stay
You saved my day
Now that you love is here to stay
Today was one of those days
Cause nothing was going my way
And it is even for
I find it easy to recall
You saved my day
Now that you love is here to stay
You saved my day
Now that you love is here to stay
Tell me how you did your love
And I was feeling mighty low
And just like an S.O.S.
You came to my distress.
You saved my day
Now that you love is here to stay
You saved my day
Now that you love is here to stay
Your tender kiss wiped away my tears
You sudden smile made my blues disappear
You saved my day
Now that you love is here to stay
You saved my day
Now that you love is here to stay
I just want to say
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
You saved my day
Now that you love is here to stay
You saved my day
Now that you love is here to stay
You saved my day
You saved my day
You saved my day
You saved my day
You came around where I was alone
Needed love and you came along
You came around where I was alone
Needed love and you came along
You came around where I was alone
Needed love and you came along
You saved my day
You saved my day
You saved my day
You saved my day.
