About Cher
Cher emerged in the 1960s alongside Sonny Bono before developing a solo recording career across folk-pop, rock, disco and electronic dance music. Her contralto voice links otherwise different records, from Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves to If I Could Turn Back Time and Believe. Singing has remained one part of a wider performance career that also includes film, television and elaborate concert presentation.
