As a child, Cher lived in a poor single-parent household, making a living by occasionally playing small roles and singing in movies. At the age of 16, Cher went to Los Angeles to study acting, which proved to be the most important turning point in Cher's life. At the age of 17, Cher met her first husband, Salvatore "Sonny" Bono, the person who had the greatest impact on Cher's life. Salvatore "Sonny" Bono is not only a singer, but also a brilliant producer. It was Bono who saw Cher's talent and great potential.
Cher signed to International, Liberty Records, with Bono as her producer. A Specter-style single, "Dream Baby," was played on Radio Los Angeles and became a local hit. In the same month, the "Caesar & Cleo" group changed its name to "Sonny & Cher" and re-signed Toreprise Records to release its first single, "Baby Don't Go". The song was loved by local Los Angeles residents, and the duo subsequently moved from Reprise Records to Atco label, the arm of Atlantic Records. After signing, the first single "Just You" was released and rose to the top twenty of the charts.
"Sonny & Cher" continues their music career, and Cher also has an appointment with Empire Records to release her second single. Over the next two years, Cher sang while editing parts of her own solo or their duo's solos under Sonny's direction. A month after the release of "All I Really Want to Do," they released what can be considered the best-selling and most popular pop rock hit "I Got You Babe" of the mid-'60s, and the couple achieved a cross-century success in music.
They signed with Decca Records in 1971, and a subsequent performance on the CBS Radio and Television Internet gave them a second chance of success. Their performances are very entertaining due to their musical diversity. It took Cher a long time to develop a new musical style positioning, until she collaborated with producer Snuff Garrett to create a series of good songs for Cher that can show her musical talent. In late 1971, Cher, who imitated Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man," released the album "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," which became popular and sold millions of copies.
In 1998, Cher released his 22nd studio album, Believe, which topped the album charts in more than 25 countries and regions, becoming the best-selling album from 1998 to 1999, selling more than eleven million copies worldwide. The eponymous lead single Believe brought Cher the first Grammy Award of her career. On June 1, 1999, in order to promote the "Believe" album, Cher launched a book called "Do You Believe?" Tour" 122 world tour, watched by more than 1.1 million viewers of her performances, recorded her world tour of HBO concert specials and was shortlisted for seven Emmy Awards.
Despite her fame for singing, Cher has not forgotten her favorite ----- acting. He stepped onto Broadway in 1982 and again on the big screen in 1983, where he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for director Mike Nichols' Silkwood and won a Golden Globe. In 1985, she was honored as a film queen at the Cannes Film Festival with Mask. Two years later, she starred in "The Purple House" and "The Suspect", and in 1987 won the Academy Award for Best Actress and a Golden Globe award for her convincing acting skills in the romantic comedy Moonstruck.
