Cher

Few stars have had as long and varied careers (much less tabloid-filling) as the Four-Lettered One. Along the way, she has been a number one-charting solo recording artist, a member of duos and bands, an Academy Award-winning actress, a workout-tape mentor, and an entrepreneur. Now in her 35th year as a pro, Cher is still immensely popular and successful. Born Cherilyn Sarkasian LaPier on May 20, 1946, Cher left El Centro, California, for Hollywood to begin an acting career. She landed work as a session vocalist for Phil Spector in 1963, where she met future husband/mentor Sonny Bono. Sonny & Cher became one of the most successful and recognizable duos of the '60s, scoring 10 top 10 singles into 1972. But Cher also maintained a solo career during this period, first as Bonnie Jo Mason ("Ringo I Love You") and then as Cher, scoring her own chart-toppers beginning with Bob Dylan's "All I Really Want To Do" ('65), and followed by "Bang Bang" ('66) and the number one hits "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves" ('71), "Half-Breed" ('73), and "Dark Lady" ('74). Film acting remained on the back-burner, with the minor '60s pop movies Good Times and Chasity (the last of which inspired the name of her daughter with Bono). But she had two successful television variety shows co-hosted with Sonny between '71 and '77, and her own show, which lasted two seasons. Five days following her '75 divorce from Bono, Cher married Gregg Allman, which led to the LP Allman & Woman, a son named Elijah Blue, and a divorce in '79. Later that year she had a disco hit with "Take Me Home" and then went hard-rock as the singer of Black Rose, which featured then-boyfriend Les Dudek. In '82, Cher revived her acting aspirations and hit Broadway in the acclaimed Come Back To The Five And Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. Starring in the film version of Jimmy Dean launched the silver-screen career that had initially been her quest, and a series of great performances in Silkwood, Mask, Moonstruck (for which she won a Best Actress Oscar), Suspect, The Witches Of Eastwick, Mermaids, and Faithful followed. Having become the star she set out to be, Cher returned to recording in '87, and released three successful LPs for Geffen. Her career as a great collaborative vocalist came full-circle with an updated performance of "I Got You Babe" with Beavis & Butthead in '95. Throughout much of the '90s, Cher laid low except for the variety of products bearing her name and likeness, including workout videos, perfume, skin-care products, and a catalog of medieval-inspired furniture and bric-a-brac for your own castle. Her most notable public appearance was her tearful and touching eulogy at the funeral of ex-husband Sonny Bono, who died in a freak skiing accident in early '98. But later in that same emotional year, she released the club-friendly album Believe, the title track of which was a triumphant number one hit in multiple countries, becoming her most successful single 31 years after her start. A similarly Hi-NRG dance album in 2001, Living Proof, wasn't as big a hit in America, but its danceable single, "(This Is) A Song For The Lonely," was another huge international smash. In late 2002, Cher launched her farewell tour, playing sold-out stadium shows with opening act Cyndi Lauper; she commemorated this closing chapter in her musical career with the early 2003 release of The Very Best Of Cher. It remains to be seen what Cher will do next professionally, but as she moves on to happier times, this diva is still proving that she is one showbiz survivor to "Believe" in.  You can search for Concert Tickets on this page.
