Cory Daye

Disco singer (b. 1952 - present)

Cory Daye is most noted for being the voice behind Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. Most Disco fans instantly recognize her voice when the 1976 disco classic "Cher Chez La Femme"is heard.
A native New Yorker, Cory was born in the Bronx.

After three albums with Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band she went solo and with the help of writer producer Sandy Linzer she had success with her 1979 LP Cory and Me.

On the Disco tracks "Green Light" and "Pow Wow" Cory Daye uses her vocal talents to make the somewhat cheesy lyrics into a great listen, with its great arrangement and orchestration it's hard to resist.

The 12" hit the top of Billboard's Disco charts and the album turned gold. She hit at the right time to score a Disco hit (1979). Too bad the Disco backlash was about to occur.

After that she did some projects with August Darnell's Kid Creole & The Coconuts on several of their albums.

Cory is still alive and kicking and can be contacted for bookings through Arena Production: Music In Motion Management. (718) 492 -5226. Or visit their website at: www.arenaproduction.com for more info.

Corey,Pow Wow is also in my top 50 disco songs of all time..
and like I said to Marlena Shaw.. It's almost painful when you have to choose 50 out of SO many greats ,but you are there.

Cory, thanks for all the Love and enjoyment you bring.
