Cher on Letterman 1996

[@jamescarpinelli325]

I have watched these interviews and I think they have chemistry!!

[@dioncampbell2393]

I think you might be onto something there

[@anothercomment-]

100%

[@afellowamericanafellowamer5317]

She's mean to men who care for her...Sonny, Dave, always taking a shot at the poor guy then laughing about it...that's just who she is

[@anothercomment-]

@@afellowamericanafellowamer5317 to be honest I loved the chemistry but yes you may be right - when she called him an a-hole right up front in first interview - that was possibly narcissistic

[@miss0petersburg]

⁠@@afellowamericanafellowamer5317She was mean to men? Sonny? The one who used her before she was even of age? Who controlled her every move? That’s crazy… I hope any girl who’s used gets as “mean” as she can get with her abuser. Without Cher, nobody would have ever known Sonny. And still she was so respectful and never said a MEAN thing about him until she was in her 60s… What you said is absolute nonsense..

[@eddie195777]

Her big hit in 1998, Believe, made her an even bigger star in her 50's. The song was in the making for 6 years. Writers presented the demo to numerous singers, but none were interested. Even Cher was hesitant to do the song. Her manager told her that if she did the song, it would become her greatest hit, which it did. It sold over 11M copies and took her to #1 on the music charts for the first time since 1974. Cher is amazing.

[@alinevollmer9693]

Believe was the first song I ever heard by Cher

[@pauldecroix4567]

CHER was maybe a baby in 1950. She was discovered at 16 by Sonny Bono more or less. in the early in the mid 60's. Sonny & Cher became a popular duo but not right away. The moved to England and released "I got you babe" which was a huge hit in the UK and the United States. After that they had a few other hits but nothing like "I got you babe. Their career stalled by the time 1970 arrived. Styles changed and their hits stopped. That is when they were reduced to doing lounge shows in LV to pay the rent. They were discovered by Fred Silverman who happened to catch their opening for Pat Boone in LV. He was the head of CBS television programing and offered them a Gig hosti as a summer replacement variety comedy series on prime time television. "The Sonny & Cher comedy hour" was a huge hit! That lead to the show being picked up by CBS. The show was in the 10 ten in the ratings and they did the show 3 years before they split up. The show ended. CHER had her own show and Sonny has his on ABC. Both ultimately were canned due to low ratings. Then they tired doing a new show as divorced Sonny & Cher. That lasted 2 years. It did not have the same spark the show they did together as a married couple. By the time they did the new show CHER was remarried to Gregg Alman and was preggy while doing a new show with her ex husband. Yeah, it was strange! After that show ended CHER moved on but hit a dry spell musically. She put out 3 solo albums that all flopped. Warner brothers records dropped her contract. By 1979 CHER had not had a hit record since 1974 with the #1 hit "Dark lady". Back then a commercial singer was considered a has been with no hits for that long. She returned to doing LV shows this time headlining in BIG Las Vegas production and with her glamours costumes and great dancers she was a BIG hit! Even so doing LV at that time was where has been went to make money. Things turned around when CHER's lover at the time Gene Simmons of the rock band "Kiss" got his record label Casablanca to sign CHER. They were thrilled to turn CHER into the white Donna Summers who had huge git records at that time. Donna had been with Casablanca records for 5 years at that time. CHER recorded "Take me Home" the same title of her first album on Casablanca records. It was a huge hit for CHER and at the time considered her BIG comeback. Sadly, after "Take me Home" was released in 1979 music styles again changed and disco was dead. After a few more albums on different labels with not hits representing the albums her music career again stalled. Back to LV where she stayed doing her success LV show. Then her film career got started but it was not something that happened quickly. It took about 5 years.

[@james5460]

It kind of puts things in perspective when you realize that she was a legend at the time of this show, and she had her greatest success AFTER it.

[@cayetanotirado5907]

She has been a legend since the days of she and her ex-husband Sonny Bono who supported her and tough her the ropes of show business.

[@craig_template]

[@mybiz2167]

She was destined to be a legend- the stars aligned right for this girl. Everything she really wanted to do she has done so well!

[@cazfarri]

She really has to be one of the most beautiful women of the last century, she's not conventionally pretty, but quite striking.
