We’re doing a little Seventies for this Sunday to celebrate the fifty-fifth birthday today (March 11th) to R&B, disco and soul singer Cheryl Lynn.

Lynn got her start as a professional singer as a backing vocalist in the touring company of The Wiz and moved up to the role of Evillene (the wicked witch) for six months on the national tour. She also appeared in an early 1976 episode of the Gong Show where she won with a performance of Joe Cocker’s “You Are So Beautiful”. When the episode aired, she got a call from a record company who was interested in signing her to a contract.
