Speaker 1: Today's topic, Cheryl Lynn's got to Be Real, Real Real,
Speaker 1: got to be Real. Ladies and gentlemen, lend me your ears,
Speaker 1: because we're about to get into a real gem from
Speaker 1: the disco era that's gotten under our skin and into
Speaker 1: our hearts. Cheryl Lynn's got to Be Real. The track
Speaker 1: wasn't just another song. It was an anthem, a call
Speaker 1: to authenticity in a world that sometimes wanted us to
Speaker 1: be anything but ourselves. Released on August fourteenth, nineteen seventy eight,
Speaker 1: Got to Be Real was created by Cheryl Lynn alone
Speaker 1: with talented songwriters David Pike and David Foster. Can you
Speaker 1: feel that groove? When the disco beat starts, It's like
Speaker 1: a burst of joyful energy fills our souls. We all
Speaker 1: know that disco was facing its trials and tribulations, especially
Speaker 1: as the eighties loomed on the horizon, but this track
Speaker 1: carved its own legacy. It reached number twelve on the
Speaker 1: Billboard Hot one hundred and rocketed to the top of
Speaker 1: the Hot Soul Singles chart. You could hear it echoing
Speaker 1: through the clubs when some of us were still listening
Speaker 1: to a M radio. It was joy that helped drown
Speaker 1: out the noise of doubt and uncertainty. And let's take
Speaker 1: a moment to talk about Cheryl Lynn's powerful vocals. When
Speaker 1: she belts out that chorus, you can't help but feel
Speaker 1: truth and sincerity. It's all about being real and embracing
Speaker 1: who you truly are. As we reminisce about those days
Speaker 1: of glitter and groove, remember that got to Be Real
Speaker 1: is not just a chapter in disco history. It's a
Speaker 1: timeless reminder to live authentically, to dance without reservations, and
Speaker 1: most importantly, to be real in every sense of the word.
