description: "Ava Cherry is an American singer and model. She collaborated with English musician David Bowie between 1972 and 1975; the two met in New York City when she was a nightclub waitress and Bowie was touring for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Afterwards, they began a period of personal and artistic collaboration that heavily influenced the Young Americans \"blue-eyed soul\" era. Following this, she struck out as a solo singer and backing artist for musicians such as Luther Vandross and Chaka Khan."
