Ava Cherry
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.
Growing up in Chicago with significant exposure to the local African-American music culture, Cherry became an influence in the works of a number of pre-eminent artists, as well as a respected musician in her own right. Cherry's influence on Young Americans through her connections to major soul music institutions such as Sigma Sound Studios and the Apollo Theater has proven a particularly noted part of her legacy, as has her contemporaneous work with proto-new wave band the Astronettes.
Cherry's solo career has been long-running, with her first album Ripe!!! released in 1980. Her solo work, known for its disco influence, has received a mostly positive critical reception but a lack of commercial success: factors blamed for this critical and commercial disconnect include racial discrimination within the music industry and backlash against her predominant genres.
In January 2022 she released her autobiography All That Glitters: The Ava Cherry Story.

Sir Michael Philip Jagger (nascut el 26 de juliol de 1943) és un cantant, compositor, actor i productor de cinema anglès que ha guanyat fama mundial com a cantant i un dels fundadors del grup de rock britànic The Rolling Stones. La carrera de Jagger s'ha estès durant cinc dècades i se l'ha descrit com “un dels líders més populars i influents de la història del rock & roll”. La seva veu distintiva i les seves enèrgiques actuacions en directe, juntament amb l'estil de guitarra de Keith Richards, han estat la marca comercial dels Rolling Stones al llarg de la carrera de la banda. Jagger va guanyar notorietat a la premsa pels seus compromisos romàntics i sovint va ser retratat com una figura contracultural.
Jagger va néixer i va créixer a Dartford al comtat de Kent a Anglaterra. Va estudiar a la London School of Economics abans d'abandonar els seus estudis per unir-se als Rolling Stones. Jagger ha escrit la majoria de les cançons dels Rolling Stones juntament amb Richards, i continuen col·laborant musicalment. A la fi dels anys seixanta, Jagger va protagonitzar les pel·lícules Performance (1970) i Ned Kelly (1970). Va començar una carrera en solitari el 1985, llançant el seu primer disc, She's the Boss , i es va unir al supergrup elèctric SuperHeavy el 2009. Les relacions amb els altres membres dels Rolling Stones, particularment Richards, es van deteriorar durant la dècada de 1980, però Jagger sempre ha tingut més èxit amb la banda que en els seus projectes en solitari i paral·lels.
El 1989, Jagger va ser inclòs al Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, i el 2004 al UK Music Hall of Fame amb els Rolling Stones. Com a membre dels Rolling Stones i com a artista en solitari, va assolir el número u de les llistes de singles del Regne Unit i els Estats Units amb 13 senzills, el top 10 amb 32 senzills i el top 40 amb 70 senzills. El 2003 va ser nomenat cavaller pels seus serveis a la música popular.
Jagger s'ha casat (i s'ha divorciat) una vegada i també ha tingut diverses relacions. Té vuit fills amb cinc dones. També té cinc nets i es va fer besavi el 2014, quan la seva neta Assís va donar a llum una filla. El seu patrimoni s'ha estimat en 360 milions de dòlars.

David Bowie
David Robert Jones (8 January 1947 – 10 January 2016), known as David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter and actor. Regarded as among the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Bowie received particular acclaim for his work in the 1970s. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, and his music and stagecraft have had a great impact on popular music.
Bowie studied art, music and design before embarking on a music career in 1962. He released a string of unsuccessful singles with local bands and a self-titled solo album (1967) before achieving his first top-five entry on the UK singles chart with "Space Oddity" (1969). After a period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with the alter ego Ziggy Stardust. The single "Starman" and its album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972) won him widespread popularity. In 1975, Bowie's style shifted towards a sound he characterised as "plastic soul", initially alienating many of his UK fans but garnering his first major US crossover success with the number-one single "Fame" and the album Young Americans (1975). In 1976, Bowie starred in the cult film The Man Who Fell to Earth and released Station to Station. In 1977, he again changed direction with the electronic-inflected album Low, the first of three collaborations with Brian Eno that came to be known as the Berlin Trilogy. "Heroes" (1977) and Lodger (1979) followed; each album reached the UK top-five and received critical praise.
After uneven commercial success in the late 1970s, Bowie had three number-one hits: the 1980 single "Ashes to Ashes", its album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) and "Under Pressure" (a 1981 collaboration with Queen). He achieved his greatest commercial success in the 1980s with Let's Dance (1983). Between 1988 and 1992, he fronted the hard rock band Tin Machine. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment with musical styles, including industrial and jungle. He also continued acting; his films included Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983), Labyrinth (1986), Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992), Basquiat (1996), and The Prestige (2006). He retired from touring in 2004 and his last live performance was at a charity event in 2006. He returned from a decade-long recording hiatus in 2013 with The Next Day. His death in 2016 came two days after the release of his final studio album, Blackstar.
During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at over 100 million worldwide, made him one of the best-selling musicians of all time. He is the recipient of numerous accolades, including six Grammy Awards and four Brit Awards. Often dubbed the "chameleon of rock" due to his continual musical reinventions, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Rolling Stone ranked him among the greatest singers, songwriters and artists of all time. As of 2022, Bowie was the best-selling vinyl artist of the 21st century.
