Disco Dessert: "Classical Love" from Flower...

"Flower" was the recording moniker for model and singer Cheryl Flor (now Cheryl Saban), who was born and grew up in southern Califormia. Discovered by producer David Chackler, she released the album Heat in 1979. While her sole charting hit "How" only spent a week at #75 on Billboard's Disco/Dance Singles Chart, another album track, "Classical Love", became a cult favorite, with its layers of swirling string instruments. Cheryl was featured in Playboy magazine posing in their "Disco Queens" spread. Years after this record, she married TV mogul Haim Saban, an Israeli-American who bankrolled projects like the Power Rangers and is a board member of Univision TV. One of her daughters from a former marriage was on the last season of Beverly Hills 90210, while another is married to the bassist in Jane's Addiction. In 2012 she gained a spot on the United Nations delegation from the U.S., while also being a designer and philanthropist.  What a life!
