Ava Cherry [2021] - Spend The Night (Deluxe Edition) [Cherry Records] (Full Album)

Ava Cherry has reissued her 1996 six track mini album 'Spend The Night' with four additional tracks: two bonus tracks and two house/dance remixes. It's due on 31 Mar 2021.

One of the additional tracks is a great version of 'Love Changes', a #2 R&B hit in 1987 for Mel'isa Morgan & Kashif which in turn was a cover of Mother's Finest released on their 1978 album 'Mother Factor' and also as a single (#26 R&B) featuring the superb lead vocals of Joyce Kennedy.

The album also has a new jack swing cover of Patrice Rushen's 'Forget Me Nots' which was sampled by George Micheal in 'Fastlove' in 1996 and Will Smith in 'Men In Black' in 1997.  UK outfit Tongue 'N' Cheek also had a #26 hit with it in 1991. There is also a 7:49 remix of it on the album which is a 'housed up' version!

Ava Cherry is probably best known for her personal and professional relationship with David Bowie in the 70s. She later worked with Luther Vandross in the 80s & 90s, who she had met when they were both backing singers for Bowie.  Vandross appears on this album.
