Favorite Song?
Sonny & Cher: I Got You, Babe
Solo: Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves
A number of songs come to mind. But just recently I heard one of her songs that I had forgotten about. I think the title is "Just Like Jessie James". Cher just knocks it out of the ballpark on that one! Either that or "The Way of Love".
shareI really like Just Like Jessie James. I really liked the Heart of Stone album. It also has If I Could Turn Back Time on it.
shareBang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) (1987 version)
shareBang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) (1966 version)
shareIf I Could Turn Back Time. Cher excels at pop anthems. “Words are like weapons, they can wound sometimes.”
shareHer 80s/90s rock-Cher stuff was my favourite - probably Heart of Stone or Jesse James.
I do like her vocoded gay-club material to an extent. Believe was killed by overexposure in Europe though.
Easily Dark Lady
shareoh the old duck has had some crackers in her time hasn’t she? I like The Beat Goes On, Bang Bang (the 60s original version not the fluffy-haired, turgid power ballad Bon Jovi fanboyed for her in the 80s), Dark Lady, I Found Someone, Heart of Stone, Love & Understanding... It’s a Man’s World is by far her best album, most songs on that I would class as favourites.
I can handle her 70s disco and 90s eurodisco in extremely small doses. Still mad at the bitch for cursing us with vocoder for the following 20 frickin years.
She’s a character though, bless her old g string
