Guess Who Charted At #6 On The Wave Last Week? My Favorite Jazz Singer Cheryl Barnes!

Guess who charted on Cleveland’s The Wave last week? My favorite jazz singer Cheryl Barnes! Not only did she make it to #6 on one of the most popular jazz radio stations, she charted at #5 on Mediabase’s Smooth Jazz list last week too. It’s so great to see one of my all time fave singers gain the recognition they deserve. Her hit new single “Come in From the Cold” (a cover of Joni Mitchell’s song) just give me chills! Cheryl’s vocals just invite you in and you can’t help but stay. I would definitely say this track goes down in my top 5 of all time. You can get it on iTunes, you won’t be disappointed!

The song is off of her new album Listen to this (also on iTunes). If you want to see more stuff from Cheryl Barnes, she has a Facebook, Twitter and ReverbNation. You can also visit her official website at www.CherylDBarnes.com.
