The London Music Hall of Fame family and the Forest City London Music Awards wish 2022 inductee Cherrill Rae a very happy birthday.

Cherrill Rae Yates, one of 8 children, was born in the United Kingdom and moved to St. Thomas as a child. She began singing at a young age and was lead singer for the popular local band Comic Opera. At 17 she moved to study music at The Cardiff College of Music in Wales and began performing in the UK. Yates was booked on a BBC variety show hosted by Robbie Rae and soon after they were married. The Raes, a Cabaret style act, was born. Cherrill convinced Robbie to move to Canada and they began touring in Canadian venues from coast to coast. While performing at Ye Olde City Hall here in London, they caught the interest of reps from Dixon-Propas Productions. This led to a record deal with A&M records in 1976. Soon after on the advice of their management team, they reinvented themselves with more of a dance/disco sound. They recorded a cover of the Doris Day song “Que Sera Sera” as a dance track, and it hit the Canadian charts peaking at #1. It also earned them a Juno award nomination for best selling single. The success of the single lead to their first album “The Raes.” This album went gold and a second album was quickly recorded. “Dancing Up A Storm” was released in 1979 and included the big hit (on both the pop and dance charts) “A Little Lovin’ (Keeps the Doctor Away).” 1979 saw a successful year of mini-tours of Europe and the US, which included appearances on US television shows such as American Bandstand, Soul Train and The Midnight Special. They also hosted their own Variety Show on the CBC. The show was called The Raes Variety Hour and made its debut on June 30, 1978, as a summer replacement for the Tommy Hunter Show. The show continued in 1979-80 as a half-hour show and retitled The Raes. It lasted until February 1980. 1980 saw the release of their third and final album “Two Hearts” and a Juno nomination for Most Promising Group. But musical tastes were changing and The Raes were dropped from the A&M roster near the end of 1980, their career as a duo was over and they divorced soon after. They remained friends and occasionally worked together until Robbie moved to Thailand and sadly passed away in 2003. Cherrill released a single for A&M while still using the Rae last name. It was called “I Know I’ll Never Love This Way Again”, with the song “Gonna Burn My Boogie Shoes” on the flip side. Cherrill went on to perform with the “Men’s Room” releasing an EP and one LP. She performed in several other acts, including Backstreet, Rae and Rockit, and her own lounge act, The Cherrill Rae Trio. In 2002 she began performing for Carnival Cruise Lines and in 2008 released “Look At Me Now” a CD on the Society Hill label. Today she continues to perform her nightclub act and lives in Florida.

Our Story

LONDON MUSIC HALL OF FAME - Canada’s Only City Specific Music Hall of Fame: Home to a famed London jewellery shop for decades, this Dundas Street location in downtown London is the ideal place to showcase the gems of London and area music. The London Music Hall of Fame honours outstanding London musicians, along with notable accomplishments in our music industry. Each year since 2002, more names have been added as inductees. Inductions to the Hall of Fame are overseen by the Forest City London Music Awards (FCLMA) Board of Directors & Steering Committee and celebrated with the community at the annual awards gala.

The Hall of Fame had its gala opening on Nov. 12, 2016, nestled in the Manuel family's London Music Hall complex. The FCLMA Steering Committee continues to oversee the Hall's progress as it becomes a Forest City destination in the former Nash Jewellers downtown site. The committee is grateful to the Manuel family for providing a home and welcoming this community gem to shine. We continue to hold great love and gratitude to the wonderful producer who inspired our music community to come together and encourage future generations of music brilliance. We are also grateful to Museum London, the London Public Library's Ivey Family London Room and Western's McIntosh Gallery for loaning the Hall material and providing expertise in the opening months. We encourage all local music lovers and history buffs to visit their very own Music Hall of Fame. You will discover connections to Johnny Cash and Santana, tv shows and epic tours, learn more about local legends, traditional favourites and underground scenes. Keep watch for special events, educational workshops and stunning shows in our lovely Rosewood Lounge. As an integral part of the Forest City London Music Awards non-for-profit organization, we look forward to many more years of celebrating the achievements and preserving the history of London and area music & musicians.
