(dead on it), they toured with British keyboard giant Brian Augar throughout New York and Southern New England.  D.O.I. evolved into Excell and then it was time for a little break so David settled into family like back in Rhode Island.  But he just could not fight the desire to be on stage so in 2000 he came back with Front and Center playing all around the Southern New England area. David’s passionate and soulful  crooning  combined with his stage presence  and showmanship, enables him to dominate any musical endeaver  he’s been a part of .He is  a flashy showman, incredible dancer, and soulful singer displaying the exuberance and incredible energy  of the likes of his idle , the “Godfather of Soul” James Brown who was   unquestionably one of the most influential musical pioneers of Funk and  Soul Music. A sound that evolved through James Brown and the Conciousness of the black experience in America. In fact David has been rated one of the top James Brown impersonators in the Country as he has been invited numerous times to  performs tributes to the Godfather at engagements under the name “Mister Dynamite”.  And now he brings  his incredible energy to The Legacy.  When David Cherry hits the stage you will not be able to stay in your seat.
