Cheri's First Solo at age 3 Although Cheri Potter sang her first solo at three years old, her music career really began at age four at a Church talent show. She belted out "Tomorrow" from the musical "Annie" and brought people to their feet. The music minister began having her sing at church and other functions. Her first Sunday morning solo, "We Shall Behold Him", earned her the nickname "Sandi Patti Potter." She began piano lessons the following year, and discovered an uncanny ability to play a song after hearing it once.   Cheri Singing "Tomorrow" at age 4 Cheri wrote her first song at age seven, and began writing more songs at fourteen. She wrote the music for a song published in a children's Christmas songbook (David C. Cook, 1995).
