Cher got started in a duet with her then-husband, & Sonny & Cher had many great hits (I've Got You Babe was their first), plus a very popular TV variety show. On her own, Cher built another great catalogue of songs, along with an award-winning acting career.

Let's not forget Sonny was a Congressman.

[@cleverlilvixen]

I love how sweet and innocent you two are with your interpretations. Yes, Amber, there is definitely some dark humor in this song that you are picking up on, because this song (like a lot of Cher's music) is very easy to read as a glimpse into the life of a social outsider. "Gypsies, tramps and thieves" is more than likely what the townsfolk would shout while letting her family know they weren't welcome, and better keep on moving; and the bridge of the song is about how the girl was seduced and abandoned by a 21 year old hitch-hiker when she was just 16. The last verse implies that she went on to have his daughter who is now growing up just like she did, living in the wagon of a travelling show. It's a lot sadder than it is funny actually. But I did appreciate that you both seemed to recognize the double standard of the respectable people of the town shouting slurs at them by the light of day, and coming around at night to watch (and pay) the "dancing girls"

[@fabian4ever69]

Excellent comment!!

[@mrbear1302]

The original title and lyrics were: "Gypsys, Tramps and White Trash." Cher didn't like that so it was changed.

@@mrbear1302 Interesting trivia. That would've really changed the rhythm. I think Cher made the right choice

[@RobSquadReactions]

Well said. Thank you for this, now I’m going back to listen to it again with more context

[@pilarperry6766]

Yes the song implies the day with taunted and Jared it gypsies tramps thieves insult slurs shouting and hollering the finger-pointing but by the same token the people that did this were Hypocrites because they added fuel to the Fire by paying for you-know-what! Also she wasn't so much seduced as she picked up the boy the song States picked up a boy the father knew he was in the Caravan, so hit you ride with them and probably said let me off here not knowing that he was in Memphis or knowing he was just going to Memphis but he knew she was pregnant he didn't want any parts, that had to be sneaky the cabin so small I wonder how they got away with it had to be real quiet I guess when Dad was sleeping??🤔🤫 but in essence things were not much different then than they are now! Get the girl locked up( pregnant)-- and take off like a bandit,( pardon the pun)- reality is a said *shame*!!🥺

Do the black and white video with the model in it. Anything I say now will not do this song justice. This was an 80s song that women swoon over and they just melt. It was used in Calvin Klein and fragrance commercials it was so powerful. Get ready for the Amber sway for this one!

No comedy there. “A gal in trouble” means she was pregnant and she hadn’t seen him for a while. She was 16 he was 21 and poppa would have “shot him if he knew what he done.” I think we can figure that out.

[@emmef7970]

Yes, I was surprised they missed that part. Back in those days that was serious trouble. :)

[@michelepaccione8806]

...and then the song shifts to the story of her daughter being born, and daddy has now become grandpa and mamma is grandma...

[@DJHolte]

Yeah, "in trouble" is a euphemism that hasn't been used for a long time, so I'm not surprised it didn't register. But yes, after she got pregnant, the song turns from "I was born" to "she was born" -- meaning life turned out the same for her daughter as it was for her.

[@MChantal76]

I was surprised too that the whole plot of the story just went over their heads. The guy they picked up got her pregnant and then took off. Now her daughter was born in the same traveling show she was born in.

[@rousefire]

Amber had it figured out. She listens.

[@grigoriorifiel]

In 1971 when this song came out I was 9. There was this older girl, about 13, down the street I had a crush on. I never had the courage to ask her out but I did ask to go over her house and listen to records with her a few times. This song and "Half breed" are the two songs I remember her playing a lot. She ended up meeting an older guy. Her little bother became my best friend and remained so for 40 years, until he passed away in 2013. She's married to the same guy she met way back then and we are still all friends. That's what I think of when I hear these songs. Me, I married my high school sweetheart 41 years ago.

I had to chuckle when J said, it looked like Cher owned that stage. SHE DID, literally. That video is from her TV show which aired for 2 seasons - 1974 and 1975. Prior to that, starting in 1971, she had a TV variety show with her husband at the time, Sonny Bono. That show ended when they divorced. Truer words were never spoken.

[@jayakers708]

Probably my favorite of Cher's many hits. Cher has the somewhat dubious honor of introducing "autotune" to mainstream music in her 1997 song, "Believe" (GREAT song). Since you've heard Cher from 1989 and 1971, you know that Cher most definitely doesn't NEED autotune, but it provides and interesting (and obvious) effect in "Believe" that enhances the production. Sadly, it is not always used for creating effect, but to "improve" the imperfections in performer's voices. I applaud perfection, but imperfection is gloriously interesting and adds a touch of humanity to any performance. Autotune doesn't also sound better, but often sounds "sanitized." Glad you are hitting so many of the great tunes of the past, when artists (vocal and otherwise) relied more consistently on talent and passion than digital magic. Keep up the great work! And congrats on your son!

[@anteres9821]

I look at your beautiful youthful faces and remember reacting to the song/preformers with the same enthusiasm. The only difference is I was there when these songs hit the charts.

Cher’s also quite an actress and an Oscar winner. One of my favorites is “Silkwood”, a true story staring Meryl Streep as Karen Silkwood.

Karen Silkwood became a nuclear whistle-blower and a labor union activist and died in a mysterious car crash while investigating alleged wrongdoing at the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant.

At the end of every show they would sing that song... no wonder people got so sick of it -- and that it would eventually become iconic in the 'Groundhog Day' movie! I remember at the time of their variety show (when I was pre-teen) the ongoing gag was always how Cher was taller than Sonny and she had the deeper voice! Sonny Bono became mayor of Palm Springs and then a congressman just before his death in 1998. Cherilyn Sarkisian became, well, Cher... Apparently even though they divorced they still had a mutual love for each other -- but I don't think Sonny's broken heart ever fully recovered.

@@labyfan1313 yeah...it was "medicine"... a.k.a. alcohol. Kills... I mean "cures" everything.

[@mortisrat]

I don't think it mentions gambling with the men at night. I think the reference to 'late at night the men would come around, and lay their money down' refers to her mother (and later her) being a prostitute.

[@trinkab]

@@mortisrat I believe it is poker or craps (dice) where they "lay your money down" when placing a bet. It's pretty much in every western. The only two females in the story are the mom/wife (I presume) of Dad and the daughter, and considering how dad would have reacted to what the boy did to his daughter (if he had known) I don't think they were into that sort of "laying."

[@mortisrat]

@@trinkab As the men would be more than able to gamble without them there, I don't think they'd show up just to play with a stranger they don't trust, or that the ominous tone of the music and singing would be warranted if that was just about a few guys slinging some dice. What would be missing from a small town is hookers, or at the least some new ones - even in a larger place. Her daddy would probably have killed the guy because he got it for free, and did it when she was still a virgin and without any birth control. I did look it up to check, and it is about prostitution.

[@julienielsen4462]

My dad said in around 1970 Cher came to Montreal and gave him the peace sign. He loved her so much.

[@glennred4830]

Song is 50 years from the chart #1 and still great. Her many frequent TV appearances, specials, and shows was her advantage too.

[@Lolo-zs2eo]

Check out “Half Breed”. One of my favorites. Cher has a catalog.

[@blackprix]

Have been a fan of Cher’s since it was Sonny and Cher. Hopefully you can do some reactions to their duos together they were together for a long time and had a lot of hits

[@katherinebosse5706]

Cher was in a really great movie called “ Silkwood” with Meryl Streep, I believe in the 80’s. Based on a true story, they both were so good. You should check it out..maybe not a reaction but for your own enjoyment…definitely worth a look! Love your female Friday’s…maybe Phoebe Snows’ “Poetry Man”? Gorgeous song, great singer. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@NItalia-lk3sj]

The song describes the life of a girl, the song's narrator, who was "born in the wagon of a traveling show" with her mother, an exotic dancer, and father, a patent medicine salesman and preacher. Though the family endures jeers of being "gypsies, tramps and thieves" from townspeople, the men of the town would always come out at night to "lay their money down." One day, the family takes in a 21-year-old man who travels with them from "just south of Mobile" to Memphis. One night during the trip, the man implicitly has intercourse with the 16-year-old narrator without her father knowing, and three months after the man disappears in Memphis, the narrator is "in trouble" (pregnant). The narrator's daughter is born later, now the narrator is the dancer and now Grandpa did whatever he could (as now he is the grandfather of the narrator's new baby) continuing another generation of Gypsies, Tramps, & Thieves. If you listen to the studio version the song it is a better understanding of the story of the song.

[@debrawalkermeyer9109]

Love Cher! She looks damn good at any age and I love her voice as well!

[@kathyhester3066]

A little nip here & a little tuck there.

[@cjpew]

Cher is amazing. You must check out her duet with Meatloaf (Dead Ringer for Love)

[@CrayCruz]

Almost forgot, Linda Ronstadt also had another great song "Desperado" 1976, a classic. In 2019 she was honored with a Kennedy Center Tribute. Please give her a listen, you will not regret it. Thank you.

[@christinec1928]

Another talented lady that has stood the test of time. You almost need to go back to the days of Sonny and Cher ... "I got you babe" is a classic. In this song, note the transition to her being the mama and "grandpa" did whatever he could.

[@donnamcmanus7360]

We used to watch The Sonny and Cher Show back in the 70's. I thought she was so pretty, cool and funny. Still do. I love when comedienne Kathy Griffin (a friend of Cher) tells Cher stories...she is so hilarious!

[@RCSmith-rf7vj]

Cher is incredible. One of a kind. Very unique.

[@simplesimon8586]

Cher’s confidence on stage is a very interesting characteristic of her performance because, when she first started her music career it was at the (strong) urging of her husband Sonny Bono. He wrote her songs, often sang counter to her though his singing voice was nasally and not the best, and marketed them until they achieved fame. Cher had to be urged along by Sonny because despite him knowing and believing in her talent, Cher herself was very shy and unsure of herself. Cher’s lack of confidence in herself eventually subsided over the years abd she has also had a small career in acting and used her popularity to create a public platform from which she has spoken out on a number of topics (many of which I personally do not agree with her on) that she held near and dear to her heart. She has always exuded immense humility and confidence even when young and not believing in her talents the way others did. She’s certainly an amazing woman.

[@DarlaKroupa]

One thing about Cher, besides the music, is that she is so comical as well… I use to watch their show and loved how she got after Sonny! So funny!

[@lyriasfaves]

Try "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" from Burlesque... she has still got the pipes!

[@Pauba1946]

This is my favorite song. I have numerous medical medical issues and this is my go to song when I am getting treatment.

[@atomicalcohol]

Absolutely a must!

[@alexandervasel6845]

Such a unique voice and way ahead of her time as a performer!

[@pablosonic892]

Cher is the rare celebrity who is a bigger than life icon decades in the game and nothing less than the queen of every musical genre and trend yet somehow has remained her sassy impossibly grounded real as real gets self aware self to this day. She will call people and institutions and injustices out, but the beauty of Cher is she will not hesitate to call herself out, hilariously so. The great comedian Kathy Griffith tells the story hanging out at Cher's house watching movies and both deciding to order a pizza. Cher pointed to the landline motioning for Kathy to take care of it and Kathy saying shouldn't Cher order it since its her house and neighborhood and Kathy wasn't familiar with either. Cher just looked at her like a deer in headlights. Kathy suddenly realized and asked Cher, 'Oh my god, it just hit me; you've never done this before; you don't know how to order a pizza, do you?' for which Cher shot back with what only Cher could shoot back with: 'Pfft! Please. No, I ain't never ordered no damn pizza before in my life. I'm Cher, bitch.' On anyone else, it'd sound arrogant and wrong. But, from Cher, it's hilarious, charmimg, insanely self aware and spot-on. In the Avengers, Iron Man and Loki go back and forth verbally josting which side has the tactical advantage and finally, Tony plays his trump card and says, 'Yeah, we have a Hulk.' That's how I feel as human being and American to anybody that mess with us: 'Yeah. We have a Cher.'

[@anniegoodrich262]

The clip looks like it's from the Sonny & Cher Show from the 70's. That woman had the most AMAZING wardrobe. The gowns were out of this world.

[@rolling_marbles]

Any of her old songs; Half Breed, Just Like Jessie James, After All, I Found Someone. A phenomenal movie she starred in was Mask.

[@jayrtee]

Mask is one of my favorite movies of all time. Makes me cry every time.

[@lisaray9944]

Oh Cher is an original One of a kind . Gotta love her so much and her movies are great too .

Moonstruck is iconic. I can’t believe my mom took me to see it in the theater-twice. I had to have been about 8 or 9, but I loved it.

Time to go back to "I've Got You Babe" her first hit with Sony Bono?

OMG Cher is a Goddess!! Very deep rabbit hole...and an amazing human!

[@williamcalderon9158]

Heys guys when it comes to Cher you have to hear her song believe and her duet with Peter Cetera. Congrats on your award and once again on your new baby boy. some suggestions for reactions Vince Gill I still believe in you also will to power I’m not in love and Chris Rea fool if you think it’s over thank you guys keep up the great work.

[@anononnl]

I saw her in person at one of her farewell tours....she really did have a hard time moving around on the stage BUT that was like 20 years ago so I don't know what's happened in the meantime! Fabulous performer!

[@berniceanne4959]

Absolutely one of my favourite artists. Had the pleasure of taking my daughter to see her live in Sydney on her last tour, we loved it so much that we bought tickets for the following night. Her music continues to live on through the generations. 💕

Cher was also a great actress. I think she won an oscar for her performance in the movie Moonstruck in 1987.

[@chrissiecruise7196]

You have GOT to hear "Just like Jesse James" Cher's vocals, the lyrics, everything is awesome! Please, please, please react to this song

One of my favorite Cher songs as well

[@steveduncan9256]

What about 'I found someone'? That's class

[@go234ko96ts5]

There will never be another Cher, she is one of a kind. This song came out on September 1, 1971 50 yrs to the day and peaked at number 1 in November of 1971. Two other Cher songs worth a listen are THE WAY OF LOVE and LIVING IN A HOUSE DIVIDED.

[@backgroundmusik]

Cher is up there with Dolly on the instantly recognized voice meter.

[@psg5124]

I know I was going to say the same thing 50 years this week . I remember as a little kid singing this song and seeing her on the Sonny and Cher show.. absolutely love it iconic in every way and think of all of the stars who have come and gone in those 50 years and Cher is still here..

[@renee176]

Cher is still Awesome, even today at 75!😊

[@janstan8407]

Yes, "Halfbreed" is AMAZING! The video from her show, with that outfit, strattling a horse is EYEPOPPING!!

[@CandleLight1974]

The best female voice that ever breathed coupled with stunning beauty and a fabulous performer (oh, and an Oscar winning actress) - Cher is the X factor.

[@wesalker3479]

You need to step into the "way back" machine and react to a couple of songs when "Cher" was part of "Sonny and Cher". The guy she bailed on to go out on her own. Sonny was responsible for Cher becoming "Cher".

[@debrakron9049]

Well, she didn’t exactly bail. Sonny didn’t see marriage as a reason to stop dating! Being faithful wasn’t one of his strong points. They never stopped loving each other, but had very different expectations of marriage.

[@wesalker3479]

@@debrakron9049 She married Greg Allman LESS THAN A WEEK after the divorce. Sonny made her who she was and she dumped him because she felt that he was less than she. She accused him of treating her "like a slave". It's in the divorce records.

[@richardholguin2564]

Welcome aboard, youngsters! I was only 11 years old in 1972, when I heard and fell in love with this song. I also remember getting emotional when I heard Cher sing "Dark Lady", and I was only 12 years old.

Cher is so awesome her son is a shining example.
