- Ava Cherry was from Chicago, and was a backing singer in the early seventies. In 1974 she met, and formed a relationship with David Bowie, and worked with him on his albums and in his concerts.
After they split in 1979, Ava returned to Chicago where she was introduced to Curtis Mayfield. The result was this LP. Despite Ava being rock-oriented, Curtis went for more of a soul-disco slant, much like his output with Linda Clifford. Bobby Eli (Eli's Second Coming, etc.) also wrote and produced much of this LP.
"You Never Loved Me" and "I'm Always Ready" are the best disco cuts. "Where There's Smoke There's Fire" is disco/rock, "Gimme Your Lovin'" funk, and there are also two soul ballads.

Reader Comments on Ava Cherry
Wow, I have searched and searched for this song by Ava Cherry "LOVE IS GOOD NEWS", since I was a kid. If I remember correctly, it was 31 years ago. Twas before the 80's. I bought this song on a 45 record, and after losing it after a few years, It was nowhere to be found. I thought I'd never, ever find it again. All thru 80's, 90's and most of the 2000's, I found nothing. Thanks to this DISCO.COM ad, I am reunited with one of my love songs by Ava Cherry. I never knew how much material she had out there till now. Now at the age of 44, I still truely wish I could have met her to let her know that her voice was, and still is loved by an Oakland California raised,Filipino American soul sound music lover. Thank you DISCOMUSIC.COM !!! This song is now mine forever to keep.
