Cher opens up about life with Sonny

[@deedeewinfrey3181]

How lucky were we to get to grow up with her in the world?

[@HenriettaHudson-we4wv]

To Cher: I've been your fan and admirer for 50 years. There will never be enough words to say how much I respect you!!! I've witnessed your many, many ups and downs, especially with Sonny. I know that the show was "The Sonny and Cher Show". But YOU CARRIED THE SHOW!!! I loved your Bob Mackie costumes!!! I listened to your many, many hits - especially "Believe"!!! I just want to thank you for being you. And for breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry!!!

[@lindajackson2382]

I had the privilege of seeing Sonny & Che IN PERSONr in Memphis, Tn. In 1971 at The Coliseum!! This was JUST at the beginning of their fabulous variety show. And guess who OPENED FOR THEM?? STEVE MARTIN- before he was a movie star! CHER IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!

[@tobechukwuolumba7337]

She was amazing. Her song "Believe" was on top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the late '90s.

[@bpure2560]

She's not dead. 😂

[@ValerieBottenus]

I spent much of my childhood in front of a glass-fronted bookcase singing "Half-Breed" into a hairbrush. Cher is unique and magical and incredibly kind and moral and intelligent. What a great entertainer and, more importantly, great human!

[@vm51photo]

@ValerieBottenus I had the same hairbrush mic and did a long hair flip with one hand crooked down just like hers imitation! I wanted to be Cher so badly! 🎤🎶

[@adelaferreira4575]

Fabulous ,resilient Cher,what a career and she still looks amazing !

[@mililaniman]

" I Got You Babe" is one of my favorite songs. I also love "Half Breed" and "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves". I am happy she is getting recognition she deserves.

[@PDogB]

I keep on wishing she gets another starring role in movies like Moonstruck. There is no one else like her.

[@ms.narcisarodriguez970]

[@msr1116]

The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour was perfectly timed for 1971. Nobody has ever seen such outfits in prime time and a glamour gal doing wacky characters in wacky getups. Plus, it was much later in a rerun that I realized Steve Martin was part of the supporting comedy troupe. I knew I'd seen him somewhere before.....

[@valeriemoran842]

Love Cher! So amazing and talented. Glad she told the truth about Sonny and Cher. Lots of financial abuse and exploitation of women that still is happening today

[@angelamarie88]

Finally she speaks about why Sonny & Cher split! She was silent for decades, now she confesses she had an affair.

[@valeriemoran842]

Cher looks amazing!! She of course should be in the Hall of Fame!!!

[@ElizabethHaley-i7g]

She just got inducted recently. It’s on KZbin.

[@valeriemoran842]

@ finally!! Jeez!

[@seanhoward8025]

She did Sonny dirty. He was a good man, that was dealing with feminism at it's height. She learned from her mother.

[@obscureshowtunes]

When he was alive, she disparaged the hell out of him. Once he died she did a complete 180 and praised the hell out of him.

[@obscureshowtunes]

And if someone deserves to be in the R and R Hall of Fame it's CONNIE FRANCIS.

[@Me97202]

Well, people are allowed to change their opinions and mellow out over time.

[@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc]

@@obscureshowtunes Cher is two-faced. I remember when Cher talked badly about Sonny Bono when he was alive. She had said that he had made her life a living hell when they were married.

[@AyeChiMama-r7f]

I believe a lot of it has to do with age, perspective and not wanting to speak ill of the dead

[@kristenkindoll]

I have always admired her moxy and style.

[@pamelamays4186]

Sonny wrote lots of hits for other artists, such as Needles And Pins for Jackie De Shannon.

[@EagleRockers]

I remember when Sonny & Cher were Caesar and Cleo. I have followed their careers for over 60 years. Cher is an American Icon!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ Queen 👑 Cher!!! I grew up watching her as a kid on "Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour" - dang, she was so fabulous + glamorous 🤩

[@carolsopinski4549]

Great interview Anthony, I grew up watching Sonny and Cher next to my Dad every week ( Dad loved Cher!). And me too!

[@krazmokramer]

As a young teenager in the late 60s and early 70s, I was heavily in lust with Cher. IMO, her best recording is her version of "Walking in Memphis", and her best movie is "Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean Jimmy Dean." "Moonstruck" is a close second. She's as gorgeous today as she was in 1970!

[@twhelostl61]

Rock and Roll is a Viscious Game. I really love her movies. All of em. Moonstruck especially. "Snap out of it"

In 1990, my daughter was working at ‘Dole Whip’ a kiosk that used to be in the Hilton Hawaiian Village, she was only 17 years old and didn’t know who Sonny Bono was at the time. I heard his voice and immediately knew it was Sonny. I signed her as I was standing behind him. Sonny was suntanned and sandy.

[@ManChan-w5p]

I was in Oahu February 1990 during the Tyson versus Douglas fight. Was in Ala Moana Shopping Center though and Waikiki. Don Ho was performing at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

[@josearriola3087]

What the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should have done is added Sonny and Cher in there Sonny Bono desserts to be in there too

Always felt without Sonny there would most likely be no Cher, sometimes people come together for a reason

[@edithcarter3554]

She still sounds pretty good, but her voice has gotten lower. She always had more of an alto voice anyway, but her voice has gone lower now, but all singers voices don’t stay the same when they get older it’s sad but our voices too. I wish she would do more movies because she’s also a great actress.

[@mcgarrygirl7884]

Cher needs to get writing that second book. Her life after Sonny was such a page turner. She wants her new album and I haven't even read the first book and I want the second one. Also, Sonny was straight trash and Cher still loved and cared for him.

[@HummaKavula-DontVoteForStupid]

She definitely carried him. He was 11 years older than her too.

[@corgeousgeorge]

so... Sonny was correct in not wanting her to talk to the giys in the band lol. He knew they were no good. He trusted Cher, he didnt trust them! Thats why you fire the men in the band and hire all women to do the music. 😂

[@pauldecroix4567]

Well, we all know by now the story of "Sonny & Cher" according by both versions as in Sonny's "The beat goes on" book he wrote a few years before his untimely death. Then there is the many different interviews CHER has giving the media on her take on their story. (both versions differ) I am not sure why anyone would buy this except for a hard core CHER fan? It is fun seeing the old clips of the "Sonny & Cher show" before CHER beautified her looks fixing her teeth, nose and a few face lifts. She was a unique beauty without the surgeries.

Cher is a strong, resilient woman but she shows her vulnerability and insecurity, Sonny basically raised her. She is honest and open and you must admire her for that. I am so glad I was able to grow up with her!
