While I am not a fan of Cherilyn Sarkasian- I will give her credit- this- one of her signature songs is a good one. As a solo artist she had 33 Hot 100 singles- 22 making the Top 40. Four #1’s- this one, “Half Breed” 1973, “Dark Lady” 1974 and after 24 years her final one ‘Believe’ in 1998.

I listened to this song just yesterday. I’ve always liked her work.
I’m in the minority…I was more of a Sonny fan as a kid…still am. I will hand it to her though…she knows how to reinvent herself.
same here- i always liked Sonny- Cher- not so much- but I give her credit as you stated she knows how to reinvent herself- and sell herself-
I did like the Letterman show where she obviously didn’t want to sing with Sonny but she did…she probably is happy she did.
i remember after Sonny’s death she was boo-hooing it up– in life it seems like she was pretty nasty in her comments concerning him…
Yes I agree with that…I remember reading some things about what she said.
I don’t know if the Sonny and Cher Show was before your time or not Max- can’t recall when it ended but she was always nasty to him on the show- which I always took as part of the act– but I think there was something to the meanness even then.
It’s one of the first shows I ever remember watching. It was probably around 73-74. Yes I do remember he was the butt of the jokes…and when they were divorced.
My question is, after 50 years is it still possible to buy a bottle “Dr. Good”? Asking for a friend.
I think Cher bought them all back then..
It’s a good one, and these days a politically incorrect one! I like it though. I like some of Cher’s music, especially older ones like these without auto-tuners, and some of her movies. She has a lot of talent and seemed to set the playbook for Madonna on staying relevant for decades.
good point on Madonna- who kind of took the Cher plan- and added steroids.
If I could turn back time wasn’t a number one?
came close- #3
Oh no, I remember this one! You just set off the guy who hums in my head!
