In 2016 Cherrill was approached and encouraged by (famed Philly Soul producer) Butch Ingram to record a solo album entitled, “I’m Doing Fine”. Cherrill’s voice had grown stronger over the years and found her in top form as she performed some of her favorite pop hits from a wide array of artists and styles.
Hot on the heels on that successful endeavor, Cherrill returns to put her own unique stamp on two timeless classics – ‘O Holy Night’ and ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ – to make the holiday season even happier.
Cherrill Rae is a dynamic personality with a bigger-than-life stage persona. She began her professional singing career at the age of 18. She was signed by A&M records in 1980 and had a hit single with a remake of the old Doris Day song “Que Sera Sera”. It was arranged with a percussive Latin beat and killer vocals. It climbed to number one on the Canadian top 40 and stayed there for ten consecutive weeks. After that came a succession of hits from her second album, Dancing up a Storm.
“Dancing up a Storm” became a top 40 success in the United States as well as Canada and Europe. The number-one single off that album “A Little Lovin’” went top ten in Cash Box, Billboard Magazine, Record World and Rolling Stone Magazine.
CBC then offered her a five year contract to star in her own weekly variety television show called “The Raes” which aired for four consecutive seasons. Cherrill has appeared on all the major American Talk Shows including Jay Leno, Johnny Carson, American Bandstand and Soul Train. She has traveled the world and performed in every major venue from The Copa Cabana to Las Vegas to London and Hong Kong and most everywhere in between. She continues to entertain aboard the World’s biggest cruise ships, theatre and night clubs.
Today, Cherrill’s stage show today is a combination of some real good music, a lot of funny stories delivered with precise comedic timing based on her own true life history.
