I’m in love with Cherry Wainer. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a freaky performance. She rocks the Hammond, and delivers these weird grins every once in a while. Amazing.

I’d never heard of Cherry Wainer before, so I did a bit of research. There’s not much to go on (no Wikipedia page!), but there are a couple of other YouTube videos (from the same show by the look of it). One of them has Cherry playing a super-swung version of A Taste Of Honey. I know the Beatles version of the song from Please Please Me, because my brother and I used to think it was hilarious when we were kids and played it all the time. If you don’t know the Beatles version, listen to it first:
Then check out Cherry’s magic version. It may well blow your mind. And if you can’t hear the bass, get some headphones on. She’s playing that with her feet.
I need to find out more about this Cherry character. And I need to figure out how she gets that Hammond sound. Beautiful. ;)
