Judy Cheeks is a female dance music singer born in Miami, Florida and is the daughter of gospel singer and preacher Rev. Julius Cheeks. In 1978 she hit #10 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with "Mellow Lovin'," and then had a career resurgence in the 1990s, when she re-emerged with a string of dance chart hits, including two #1s in 1995: "Respect" and "As Long As You're Good To Me" as well as "Reach", which appeared on the "Summer Hitmix '94" CD released by ZYX Records. Her 1978 album Mellow Lovin' was produced by Anthony Monn (of gay icon, Amanda Lear, fame) in Giorgio Moroder's Musicland Studios in Munich.
