Nearly fifty songs, performed by various singers, guide the audience through the tumultuous decades of her groundbreaking career with brief but poignant explanations and anecdotes.
The Beginnings: Sonny & Cher
Cher began her music career in the early 1960s. She met musician and producer Sonny Bono, who became her mentor, partner, and later her husband. Together, they formed the duo 'Sonny & Cher' and had their first major hit in 1965 with "I Got You Babe." The song became one of the most recognizable songs of the era and catapulted the couple to international fame. Several successful albums followed. Their musical blend of folk, pop, and rock, combined with a humorous stage presence, made them particularly popular with live audiences. In the 1970s, the couple hosted the popular television show "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour."
Solo Career and Musical Successes
Although Cher released solo songs in the 1960s, such as "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)," her true solo career only began after her split from Sonny in 1975. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, she achieved success with songs like "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves," "Half-Breed," and "Dark Lady." These songs often told stories of outsiders and showcased Cher's ability to interpret emotional and powerful songs. In the 1980s, she turned to rock music and collaborated with famous musicians like Bon Jovi and Michael Bolton. Her album 'Cher' (1987) included hits like "I Found Someone" and "We All Sleep Alone," highlighting her new rock style. Her greatest triumph came in 1989 with the album 'Heart of Stone,' which featured the mega-hit "If I Could Turn Back Time." The accompanying music video, in which she performed on a U.S. Navy battleship, caused a stir and solidified her reputation as an extravagant artist.
The 1990s: Comeback with "Believe"
After a period of lower musical activity, Cher made a spectacular comeback in 1998 with "Believe," one of the first major auto-tune hits. The song became a worldwide number-one hit and made her the oldest female singer to ever top the U.S. charts. The album of the same name – featuring further hits like "Strong Enough" and "All or Nothing" – was a great success and showcased Cher as a pioneer of electronic pop music.
Film Career and Further Successes
In addition to music, Cher built an impressive acting career. She made her debut in the 1960s, but her true recognition as an actress came in the 1980s. For her role in "Silkwood" (1983), she received an Oscar nomination, and with "Moonstruck" (1987), she finally won the Oscar for Best Actress. Other successful films included "The Mask" (1985), "The Witches of Eastwick" (1987), and "Mermaids" (1990). In 2010, she shone in the film drama "Burlesque" alongside Christina Aguilera. In 2013, she released the album "Closer to the Truth," featuring the dance hit "Woman's World." In 2018, she returned to the big screen in "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again." In the same year, she released the album "Dancing Queen," which consisted of ABBA cover versions.
Cher is not only a music and film icon but also a committed activist. She advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, environmental issues, and humanitarian causes. Her influence on pop culture remains unbroken, and she is celebrated worldwide as one of the most inspiring figures in music history. She has continually reinvented herself, set trends, and proven that age is no barrier to success. Her music, style, and attitude make her a unique figure in the world of entertainment.
