Life and career[edit]
Early life and career[edit]
Born Cheryl Bridget Riley in Brooklyn, Riley was the first of two children born to James Madison Riley[1] and Lucia Viola Riley.[1] Riley attended Clara Barton High School.[1] After high school, Riley worked as a nurse for handicapped children before beginning her singing career. Riley began her music career as a lead singer in the band Stargaze, who released the single 'You Can't Have It' in 1982.[1] In November 1988, Riley topped the USR&Bchart and hit the Top 40 on the pop chart at #32 with the ballad, 'Thanks for My Child,' a songwritten by Full Force.[2] The song peaked at #75 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1989.[7] The genesis of 'Thanks for My Child' began with Full Force member Bowlegged Lou's experience with the complications of his wife's first pregnancy.[2] The title track single to her debut LPMe Myself and I made it to number 18 on the R&B charts in early 1989. Another single, 'Every Little Thing About You,' peaked at number 55 on the R&B charts later that year. Her second LP, Chapters, was issued and yielded the singles 'How Can You Hurt the One You Love' and a cover of Aretha Franklin's 1968 hit 'Ain't No Way'. Her third album All That! was released by Reprise, and featured the singles 'Gimme' and 'Guess I'm in Love.'
Later career[edit]
After a hiatus from the entertainment industry, Riley re-emerged in the late 1990s by appearing on the songs 'I Love It' and 'Look Around' on The Beatnuts album A Musical Massacre. Riley also starred in a number of gospel plays for best-selling playwright Tyler Perry, including Madea's Class Reunion, Madea Goes to Jail, Why Did I Get Married?, Laugh to Keep from Crying, Madea's Big Happy Family and the most recent, A Madea Christmas. Riley also appeared in the film versions of Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea's Big Happy Family. She is also starred in Tyler Perry's Madea Gets a Job (2012) and Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned (2014). On June 27, 2006, she released her first album in fourteen years, called Let Me Be Me.
