Cher on Letterman 1996

[@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

[@jamescarpinelli325]

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

[@dioncampbell2393]

I think you might be onto something there

[@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

Welcome to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Cher!!!

[@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.

[@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!

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

He was disrespecting the drag queen and Cher is clearly not amused

that was mean. it takes a lot of time and work and get into drag and you could tell that guy was a bit intimidated. I doubt he found it amusing.
