Ava Cherry – Good Intentions (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987

“Good Intentions” is a 1987 single by American singer and model Ava Cherry. 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.

“Good Intentions” was the first single taken from her third and most successful studio LP “Picture This” (1987). “Good Intentions” debuted on the Billboard Dance Chart on August 8, 1987, peaking at #16 after spending eight weeks on the survey.
