“Saturday Love” R&B singer, Cherrelle, hustled hard to leave her mark on the music industry. Of course, the road to success came with a boatload of pitfalls and hurdles, but quiet as it’s kept, Cherrelle didn’t have the type of humble beginning you typically hear about.

Unlike many celebs who have shared stories of poverty stricken beginnings, Cherrelle spent her childhood years far from the projects The Evans family lived in on “Good Times.” She grew up in an upscale neighborhood of Beverly Hills, CA. Cherrelle’s Mother was a doctor and her Pops was a well known entertainment lawyer. In a nutshell, they were blessed to have a pretty comfortably plush lifestyle. But despite her childhood, life wasn’t always easy. In fact, that is actually an understatement for Cherrelle, because things took a devastating turn for the worse that led to years of heartache that no human being should have to endure.

Music Career Took Downward Spiral

Although Cherrelle basked in success for many years with hit singles and duets with R&B singer Alexander O’Neal, she also experienced the dark side of fame and before long, she found herself spiraling out control.

In 1992, after years of success and hit records, Cherrelle was faced with many personal and professional bouts. Once she parted ways with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, her career suffered a devastating blow she wasn’t ever able to recover from. But, the downward spiral didn’t stop there…

Lost 2 Family Members She Loved Dearly

Cherelle’s sister passed away around from unknown causes, and around the same time, Cherrelle’s father was sent to prison for financial fraud. He was accused of allegedly embezzling money from his clients. Cherrelle felt like her world was crumbling, BUT…just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse, unfortunately they did and what happened next was extremely tragic…

Father Of Her Children Passed Suddenly

Randy Ran, the former singer and member of the group, Rick, Ran, and Dan, was the father of two of Cherrelle’s children. He tragically lost his life during a motorcycle accident. Randy reportedly suffered a gruesome fate and was beheaded in the accident.

How Cherrelle’s Pregnancy Was Risked

Years after Randy’s passing, Cherrelle became romantically involved with someone else and gave birth to a baby girl. However, her daughter’s birth was a time of happiness, fear, and pain…literally, because her daughter, Martinique, was actually born four months early. While on a boat cruise, Cherrelle went into labor prematurely. Then, to make matters worse, she endured an emergency C-Section WITHOUT AN ANESTHETIC. But, as far as we know, she and her daughter turned out just fine!

What’s Up With Cherrelle Now?

Despite years of hardships and life-altering tragedies, Cherrelle, now 61 years young, has managed to prevail. In fact, prior to the COVID pandemic, she was still performing, just as she did in the above photo alongside singer, Karyn White.

Cherelle and Alexander O’Neal were continuing to perform together as well…

Hopefully, once outside safely reopens again, we’ll get another opportunity to see ALL of these legends do their thang on stage! Keeping fingers crossed.

A while back, Karyn White did an exclusive interview with I LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC and let’s just say, that the sexy 52 year old songstress is proud of getting her cougar on and we ain’t mad at her one bit! Ain’t no shame in Karyn’s game and that’s what we LOVE about her.

WATCH KARYN WHITE’S EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH I LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC

There’s nothing more boring than a guarded, censored celeb…you know, the kind who don’t want to let fans feel the REAL them and only wanna talk about their upcoming project…SNOOZE FEST 101. Well, Karyn doesn’t have that problem. She talked about everything, such as if the size of a man’s ‘tool’ matters; what qualities she likes in younger men versus men her age; her past marriage to legendary music producer, Terry Lewis (61); and when she revealed just how young her youngest boyfriend was, we flipped out.

Karyn said she likes younger men because they’re “more confident” than the older ones she meets. She also revealed that when she was about 47, she began dating a man who was 28-ish…that’s a 17 year gap and Karyn said she likes it that way. Check out what else she told us about her dating life and things in the video clip below. She talks about her men around the 1:15 mark…

Looks like age ain’t nothing but a number to Ms. White! She’s dated a young man that could be her own son.  Go ‘head Ms. White, we see you!

All of the other artists showed up to sing their own songs during Babyface’s tribute- Brandy, Bobby Brown, Tevin Campbell, and Boyz II Men– but the only person they did the ol’ switcharoo on was Karyn White. We LOVE us some Fantasia, so she was just as entertaining to watch no doubt, but it was very interesting that Karyn was mysteriously missing from the show’s lineup, that’s all.

Anyways, Karyn White took to her Youtube channel on Monday (11-30-15) to formally address this whole absentee performance herself, because she said that she has been getting a ton of calls and questions on social media about her Soul Train Awards absence.

Karyn said that without Babyface, L.A. Reid, and Darryl Simmons producing and writing “Superwoman,” it would have never came to fruition, but that it is SHE who made it a hit. Check out what else Ms. White had to say in the video clip below…

With that said, it’s only right that we end this by throwing back to the original 1988 classic version of  the ‘Superwoman’ herself, Karyn White,  singing her 80’s women’s anthem, “Superwoman”…

Her Mom is a Grammy Award nominee and she had all of the ladies singing her songs like it was their personal theme music back in the day…LOL. Her Pops has racked up quite a few Grammy Awards and he had everybody rockin’ to his music all throughout the 80’s and 90’s. If you look closely you might be able to get this one right before you turn the page to find out who she is. See if you got it right ILOSM fam’…

Check out Karyn White now at 51! She’s still looking good and she just might be some type of “Superwoman” because she looks like she has some kind of supernatural anti-aging powers or something. That woman hasn’t aged a bit!

Looking Good Ms. White!

Is good to see Karyn is still living a healthy lifestyle and after a 17 year break from the music game, she made her comeback about 3 years ago and she is still going strong. Her most recent release is her album titled, Carpe Diem, that she released a few short years ago and she also has a new web series coming soon called Moxie.

Her Success Businesses

Her day job is running her very successful interior design business and real estate company, but it’s clear to see that music is Karyn’s main passion.

Check out her newest video below and tell us if you agree that her music deserves to be played on today’s radio :

In an exclusive interview with I LOVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC, Ms. Karyn “Superwoman” White didn’t hold anything back. Y’all have to see her get raw and brutally honest.

Basically, there is no shame in Karyn’s game and that’s what we LOVE about her.

Does Size Matter?
