SHERRY WILLIAMS - past festival performer

Since she began singing as a professional, Sherry has had the good fortune to rarely be out of work. “When I was a high school student in San Bernardino (California), I got a chance to sing and tour with THE YOUNG AMERICANS. That’s heavy stuff when you’re sixteen, but it gave me the foundation that I needed.”

After THE YOUNG AMERICANS, Sherry became a member of Disneyland KIDS OF THE KINGDOM group, then worked with the famous Roger Wagner and the UCLA CHOIR, both in Los Angeles and Europe.

THE UNUSUAL WE, a musical group composed of ten energetic performers, came next. Sherry joined the group in 1969 and began working with them in big time arenas and theaters like Las Vegas, Reno and Lake Tahoe. Fate stepped in again. Debbie Reynolds was so impressed with the group she signed them as an integral part of her nightclub act and concert tour. When THE UNUSUAL WE dissolved, Debbie asked Sherry to continue in the act, which she did.

Since then there have been numerous television appearances, (THE TONIGHT SHOW with Johnny Carson, THE GLEN CAMPBELL SHOW, THE TOM JONES SHOW, THE DELLA REESE SHOW, SOUL TRAIN and others), recording sessions (including albums with EL CHICANO and RED BONE) and more nightclub and concert tours. She has also toured with Andy Gibb, and the legendary Johnnie Ray.

In 1976, Sherry left THE EDDIE KENDRICKS SHOW and struck out on her own, touring Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok. There, she performed in the finest hotels, polishing her nightclub act and developing the elegant style for which she is now known.

Since returning to the United States after her last Asian tour in 1980, Sherry has acted in films and on television, and continues to perform in and around Los Angeles in nightclubs, jazz venues and concerts.

To watch her work is to see a most exciting performer. To meet her is to know that she is star material. The Sherry Williams story is to be continued.
