Cher - Medley (with Teri Garr, Pointer Sisters, Freddie Prinze) (The Cher Show, 03/09/1975)

[@Cicilo1983]

The Pointer Sisters had so much talent, it's almost indecent.

[@johnbrowneyes7534]

They were all marvels of their day….these shows are legendary. It’s like a different world. I loved watching these variety shows as a kid. The talent is irreplaceable. The costumes, the production, the technology. 20th century!

[@Cheerfultoday]

There aren’t even any variety shows now that showcase the talents we have today. There must be some out there.

[@Messonround]

We need these shows back today! 😊😉

[@jubalcalif9100]

I heartily concur !

[@bubblesandpickles]

Cher could sing anything and make it sound like the definitive version. How she managed to deliver so much quality singing week after week on her solo series is a mystery. Lucky we have these clips as evidence of Cher’s “Camelot” year! ✨

[@johnbrowneyes7534]

I agree.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I certainly have a notion to second THAT emotion!

[@Cicilo1983]

Fully agree ! I wish she'd go back to a more natural way of singing, instead of continuously relying on her "Believe" autotuned self. She has such an expressive voice, it's a shame that she hides it in studio gimmicks, especially since she doesn't have to. Her recent Christmas album has a lot of songs where she simply sings without electronic tweakings, and these are the album's highlights.

[@littlericky46]

Everyone looks like they're having fun here, but the real surprise is Freddie Prinze, who's singing and dancing is good, and he looks adorable doing it!

[@brockreynolds870]

He sang for the first time on TV on Tony Orlando and Dawn a few months before this. So after that, producers knew he could carry a tune.

[@figmo397]

Freddie Prinze was a powerhouse of a talent. It's a shame he took his own life so young. He had so much potential.

[@junerodz4698]

Didn't know FP sang!🤔 And he did it very awesomely well. Sorry he fucked up his life so soon. Only God knows why he did.👌👏👏😰

[@22saiaop]

Freddy went to the LaGuardia School of Performing Arts, dropping out before his senior year to pursue standup comedy. He studied ballet and dance there, as well as acting and singing. Obviously, it really stuck!

[@jrasicmark1]

@@22saiaop Hey, that's right! The character Ralph Garcy in the movie Fame was obsessed that he go to the same school as his hero, Frieddie Prinz. But I had no idea he studied ballet, dance, and singing there! I thought his major would have been acting. I had no idea Teri Garr could sing or play the bongos.

[@m.t.7237]

Freddie Prince got moves!

[@Bigeazy87]

Teri Garr started as a dancer on Shindig! I had a crush on her. And Cher. And the Pointer Sisters. And props to Freddie Prinze for keeping up with them.

[@garykass114]

@Bigeazy87 She also was a background dancer in several Elvis films.

Wow! I never know Freddie Prinze had such an amazing voice! I pray he’s resting in peace, and was able to greet Teri Garr up in Heaven. RIP, dear Teri!

[@tinogonzales2919]

I have this on video and much more stuff. I'm only 49 and I'm a huge Pointer Sisters fan and Cher fan(early Cher). I have been collecting for many years. Love it!

[@evelynbloom3952]

I loved the Pointer sisters since I was a child in the 70’s Beautiful! Talented! And I always admired their fashion!!

[@k.s.k.7721]

Dressing Freddie Prinze in a Zoot suit was the BEST! It was a style developed and popularized by the Latino community originally, so it's got a lot of resonance.

[@aphrika05]

Incorrect. The Zoot suit first appeared in the 1930's popularized in the Black entertainment industry. It became popular in the general public in the 1940's. The Latino community picked it up followed by the Italians and other ethnic populations in the US and around the world.

[@Ken15643]

Teri Garr, The Pointer Sisters, Freddie Prinze 1975. Cher always has something for everyone. Teri Garr, stunning.

[@BarkleyConners]

Used to see Teri Garr around the city, and used to just gawk at her - so talented and smart!

[@chrystaldlabal4935]

I never get tired of watching Cher

[@hotgritz4sho]

I play this clip ALL the time. The blended harmonies, the big band sound, the campy vibe of the performers and the sheer talent of their singing keep me entertained thoroughly. Thank you for this incredible peek at these artists in their heyday!

[@frederickcombs8661]

Freddie was so good, rip

[@hotgritz4sho]

I didn’t know he could sing. What a treat.

[@mikeg8054]

It was so great that Cher included Terri in this medley. RIP Terri!

[@keithkemp5263]

Love this … hope Freddie Prinze Jr gets to see this .. his father was really good in this .. never knew he could sing so good … but of course he’s singing with Cher .. she brings out the best in everyone !!

[@fairyqueen56]

He sing well enough to pass by in a skit like this. That’s all.

[@leemaher4257]

Glad you wrote this, as I was just thinking "isn't that other guy called Freddie Prince", I hadn't realised that the elder had a son before he passed.

[@msmerc86]

I just saw a video on Tubi about Freddie Prinze. The manager of the apartment building in which he lived from childhood until leaving for California said that Prinze was giving special gifts to his closest friends. The man has a clarinet that Freddie played. He expressed interest in the manager's saxophone, so the man taught him the basics and Prinze picked it up right away. So much talent! Perhaps is was too much, too soon combined with depression, cocaine, quaaludes and alcohol. I have learned that psychiatrists regularly prescribed 'ludes' as legitimate treatment for depression. Since the drug was intended to help people sleep or as an anxiety reducer, it did not work in treating depression. I was in the fifth grade when Freddie shot himself. I will never forget hearing the news of his death.

[@christineczyryca5820]

​@@fairyqueen56uh...no...he was excellent in Tony Orlando and Dawn and even sung on his album. Pretty good sounding to me!

[@hotgritz4sho]

@@msmerc86That was a very sad moment in comedy indeed.

[@jacquelinemcgrathcurtis2787]

Three greats here who have passed on. Bonnie,June Pointer and Freddie Prince. RIP.

[@Cicilo1983]

Anita too. How lucky are we to have known an era were singers could actually sing.

Miss Terri Garr. Love Pointer SIsters....The legendary Cher and Freddie Prinze. Does this get better?

[@dea9273]

How delightful! I miss shows like this showcasing people's talents! I wish I had known Freddie Prinze could sing and dance.

[@markrussell3414]

Cher is one of my favourite singer / actress that's why she a legend

[@timpemberly9889]

The Pointer Sisters were doing a 40s revival act in the 70s, which is why Cher probably had them on her show. The real surprise is Freddie Prize, who was known as a comedian, not a song & dance man.

[@junerodz4698]

It's totally new for many of us.

[@christineczyryca5820]

He was multi talented...studied dance and sang in musicals in NYC school of performing arts. Could do doubles and triples, which allowed him to excel in Martial arts. He had planned on expanding as an all around entertainer, not just comedy. Sad it didn't continue.

[@42042O]

I love the diversity so ahead of her time. Love you Cher

[@DavidRansom]

Cher- I wish that I could have come to see a live taping of your show! I used to see Carol Burnett at Television City all the time, but I didn’t start doing that until 1976 and by then your show was over (and I doubt that I could have gotten into your show’s audience- I would have been 10 years old! Shoot, I was eleven when I went to see Carol and I was supposed to be 14! She asked me how old I was during the taping, and I could not lie to her!!!! The guest was Roddy McDowall on that one). Anyway, I love your signing and flawless dancing. Anybody who can get up there and dance with Michael Jackson or Tina Turner and not miss a step or a beat is pretty awesome, let alone give a 5-plus star signing performance. I have always loved the Pointer Sisters, Teri Garr is one of my favorite comedic actresses, and seeing Freddie Prinze here was a shock for me- he was so good here! Thank you, Cher!

[@capriceg7042]

(#46) These were some iconic people in the day!!!

[@deidre1965]

Freddie Prinze was such a talented comedian. He was gorgeous.. and he could sing? I'm swooning 🥰

[@kojikicklighter371]

Notice that Freddie sustains his last note "hooooooome," while magically mouthing "choo choo?" Networks should revive this programming. There are so many performers who would love to do live singing and dancing.

[@marcb.1108]

Ah! Ah! Really live singing...It is oubvious that all episodes of these shows are pre-recorded and perfomer are lip-sync. Freddie looks exhausted after this great petrfomance and not from singing. Still extraordinary work done there.

[@rosespeakstruthlikeitis155]

People who weren't there don't realize how poor tv reception could be back then. I was a kid and the little TV in my room was black and white. Didn't even get a color tv until I begged my mother crazy and she bought me a used 12 or 13 inch Zenith from a hotel sell in '82-- where they were upgrading to big 19 inch color tvs. It still cost a small fortune. I wasn't spoiled....lol...most parents back then wanted their kids in their own rooms or outside. or that's how it was with my family...not allowed in the family room at night and didn't want to be since all they watched was news and mystery shows...lol
