Cher - Beatles Medley (with Tina Turner, Kate Smith) (The Cher Show, 04/27/1975)

[@aprilmorris4588]

I'm totally gobsmacked! 😲 My grandfather's first cousin was Kate Smith, and I had no idea until today that she got to sing with Tina & Cher! ☄️ That's fantastic! My cousin singing with two of the biggest legends in rock. 🥰💚

[@HamishDownie]

She kind of out sings them as well. What a voice!

[@susanst.82]

Conversely, Tina and Cher got to sing with Kate. The First Lady of Radio who had both radio and tv shows in her own name.

[@zyxw2024]

That's a distant cousin, but a relation anyway. Now this may blow your mind, Kate Smith & I talked in/at SFA in 1975. I was age 20/21.

[@ajabrams]

Kate Smith was the greatest! Loved this!

[@jacquelineharo2413]

Kate smith is a legend to.

[@cjrrun]

Cher and Tina's friendship was over 50 years long. To fly overseas and see a friend who's sick as she was, shows how much they meant to each other

[@axelhager4773]

Yeap, really true!

this set design is insane in the best way

[@rr7firefly]

The entire thing is a work of sheer insanity.

[@BornofaJackal]

@@rr7firefly Exactly. I suspect there is plenty of insanity going around all of us who are crazy over this. It should not have worked. It did.

[@snoopybluejeans]

RIP Tina Turner. You were loved globally, thank you for that beautiful strong voice. I've never met a person that didn't love Tina.

[@samrindge8042]

Look up videos of Judge Joe Brown and Arsenio Hall talking about Tina Turner. Apparently, she was so pleasant to be to around all the time. Elton John also had a spat with her. She was also estranged from her family for many years. Tina was a talented, strong and vocal woman but she was also spiteful and knew how to manipulate the press to her advantage.

[@baritonebynight]

@@samrindge8042 Elton John is not know for his kindness.

[@jmmj8795]

I don't love Tina Turner.

[@traditionalempress6961]

Not a big fan of Tina personally.

[@dondamon4669]

Don't like the way she treated Ike and left her family,Ike made her

[@samrindge8042]

What a time time alive. The 1970s had amazing variety shows where eclectic talent could come together like this.

[@Heartofitall9691]

Agreed!! It was awesome. I remember watching these variety shows with my family, and I miss them. I wish Sha Na Na would release their shows, no reason to hold them to their chests -share them with the world like Cher shares lol😂 Cher was by far, imo the BEST entertainer of the 1970:s. Fan freaking tastic❤❤❤

[@francesinez126]

Kate Smith is a revelation to me here. I had only known her for famous "God Bless America" rendition. Her voice blends in perfectly here.

[@ebarteldes]

And the songs are not even part of her generation. She was 69 when this was shot.

[@robfalgiano]

This feels like it's from some alternative world where people experienced actual joy. Maybe something to keep in mind going forward.

[@SiLoMixMaster]

The joy of drugs is evident here, but still joy none the less lol

[@robfalgiano]

@ An excellent point and quite likely true!

[@SerdgioTachini]

Зря вы пытаетесь объяснить искренние эмоции певиц более лучшего времени чем сейчас влиянием запрещенных веществ. Мне жаль, что вы не верите в настоящие чувства

[@Liggie55821]

Three singers with diverse vocal styles in this medley shows just how spectacular the Beatles’ songbook was. Heck, I would’ve bought a single of Kate Smith covering “Let It Be”, based on how she performed just one stanza here.

[@smr61754]

Wow....look at Kate Smith rockin' out there! She sounds great!

[@gregcaldar0ne]

So awesome to see Kate Smith hold her own with 2 rockers. Kate was there when pop was born ❤

[@ebarteldes]

She was there when jazz became a thing!

Tina Turner is also the "Acid Queen".

[@imhojs2167]

@@RaymondHng dude that's not the dis you think it is. If her husband Ike hadn't got her hooked on drugs and physically abused her throughout their whole marriage she wouldn't have been called that. Plus a lot of singers and celebrities were doing a lot of drugs in the 60's & 70's including white men and groups but are you going around and pointing out that any of them were drug addicts or is it just black women you like to degrade by pointing out their tragic addiction with no other content!!!

[@ebarteldes]

She passed in 1986, roughly ten years after this was shot

[@bostonwalkdrive7763]

Cher, Tina Turner and Kate Smith - singing the Beatles! Now that came out of left field. I had to click on this one. First off, the Seventies were awesome! And Tina Turner's smile on stage is just so damn infectious. Instant connection with the audience. As a kid, I knew KS from watching the Flyers games on TV, I knew she had a big voice. Still has it here. Must have been tough to be up there with the two younger ladies, and singing music that wasn't her style, but she hung in there like a pro. This was fun to watch. Thanks for posting it. The Cher Show, and the S and C Show were great. Fond memories watching both as a kid.

[@RaymondHng]

Yep. I watched it when it aired in 1975. I thought "why in the world is the 'Acid Queen' paired up with Kate Smith? Tina is wildly dancing like a rock singer while Kate is just swaying in the wind."

[@hebneh]

Actually, as weird as this combination might seem, Kate didn't want to be stuck in the past and liked to do modern songs. I'm sure she wasn't forced to do this, but participated enthusiastically. And her voice is still really strong in this too. She does fine, and holds her own with the other two.

this was so amazing. I was completely suprised by how Kate Smith held her own with Cher and Tina. Would like to hear more from this trio. God Bless Cher's talent booking team for putting this trio together. And for those unfamiliar with the Kate Smith story - within the following year (1976) she would slip into a coma from Diabetes and suffer brain damage. RIP Kate and Tina. Thanks for the memories.

[@canalesworks1247]

I feel badly for Ms Smith in respect to her coma but I really disagree with you. She's comically bad in this performance, which is a shame because Tina sounds great and it's nice ot hear Cher do some real music for a change as opposed to the crappy rep she usually does.

[@jimburesh6694]

This sort of thing just doesn't exist anymore. Three of the best singers EVER sharing on stage without ego issues. Brilliant.

During this time all the Beatles were alive. It would’ve been so epic if they showed up at the end

True! All of them were around but sadly none were really speaking to each other - except Ringo, who was friends with everybody.
