I’m researching the career of musician Cherry Wainer and the 1950s-1960s music scene.
At Christmas 1955, the newspapers reported on Cherry’s return to Britain, her looks, and her footwear.
In 1955, not only was Cherry appearing on TV, but her show was proving very popular.
From January 1956, more on Cherry’s legs and shoes, and the upward trend in her career. Less than a year after making her television debut, she was becoming a fixture on television.
An article in the media in the spring of 1956 revealed that Cherry could have become a surgeon, but decided to make music her career.
In March 1956, the media reported that Cherry loved collecting shoes. She owned more than 25 pairs, and favoured high, spiky heels with a touch of originality. Her feet were tiny, size 2 1/2.
Cherry was living in London during this stage of her career, in a spacious flat above the Cuban Legation, Lancaster Gate.
In April 1956, Cherry gave an electrifying performance…
In May 1956, Cherry expressed how determined she was to succeed. Indeed, Picturegoer revealed that Cherry was known as “Miss Ruthless”.
