Produced by Toto keyboardist David Paich, the LP featured her first and biggest hit, Got to Be Real which was penned by Paich and Lynn, and has since been called one of the defining moments in disco. The song peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the R&B chart. Lynn would score subsequent successes with such songs as 1979's Star Love, 1981's Shake It Up Tonight, 1984's Encore - which was written and produced by the Minneapolis funk duo, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and 1989's Every Time I Try To Say Goodbye.Cheryl also provided the female backing vocal on the single, Georgy Porgy, by the pop-rock band Toto, from their 1979 debut album. Although the band charted more than a dozen pop hits throughout the years, it was Lynn's vocal on "Georgy Porgy" that aided the group in charting their one and only R&B (#18) and Dance (#80) hit on Billboard.Lynn released her last album to date in 1995. Entitled Good Time, it was released in Japan, the UK and later in the United States as an imported CD.
