Wild Cherry
Wild Cherry
Pittsburgh, USr&b, rock
381.1m all-time streams (8 Mar '26)
One-hit wonders Wild Cherry was led by Rob Parissi (singer, guitarist, songwriter), who originally formed the group in 1970.
Influenced by the likes of The Yardbirds and Sly & The Family Stone (and named after a flavor of cough drops), the group played around their hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, and even inked a recording contract with Brown Bag Records (led by former Grand Funk Railroad manager Terry Knight).
