HAPPY BIRTHDAY Cher
Cher is an American singer (and pop culture icon) who initially gained fame (in the 1960s) as part of the musical duo, Sonny & Cher. Alongside her then-husband Sonny Bono, they produced popular songs like “I Got You Babe” and “The Beat Goes On”.
After the dissolution of Sonny & Cher, she embarked on a solo career, producing hits like “Gypsy’s, Tramps & Thieves”, “Half-Breed”, “Believe”, and today’s song choice. Throughout her career, she has sold over 100 million records, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all-time.
