'Cherchez La Femme' (French for Seek the woman) is a song that was written and performed by Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band with lead vocals by Cory Daye in 1976. The music was written by band-leader and pianist Stony Browder Jr. and John Schonberger, Richard Coburn (né Frank Reginald DeLong; 1886–1952), and Vincent Rose; with lyrics by Browder Jr.'s brother and bassist August Darnell. The song's full title is 'Whispering'/'Cherchez La Femme'/'Se Si Bon' [sic]. 'Cherchez La Femme' became the group's biggest hit.
The song's opening lyric is notable in itself as it makes a reference to record executive Tommy Mottola, who was instrumental in giving the act their major label deal. Along with the tracks 'Sour and Sweet' and 'I'll Play the Fool', 'Cherchez La Femme' went to #1 on the disco chart.[1] 'Cherchez La Femme' also charted on the pop, R&B, and Adult Contemporary charts.
