Editor's note

Cher, from Sonny & Cher to 'Believe' and beyond

A pop icon who started with 'I Got You Babe' and reinvented herself with 'Believe' decades later.

For a quick sense of her arc, listen to 'I Got You Babe' and 'Believe' back-to-back. They're only a few decades apart, but they sound like different worlds.

Cher's career has two distinct peaks that bookend pop music history. 'I Got You Babe' with Sonny Bono defined the 1960s folk-pop sound, while 'Believe' in 1998 introduced Auto-Tune to the mainstream and became a global dance anthem. She's also recorded a version of U2's 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For,' showing her range across genres.

She began singing with Sonny Bono in the early 1960s, and their 1965 single 'I Got You Babe' became a massive hit. After the duo ended, she released solo albums like 'Half-Breed' in 1973 and 'Take Me Home' in 1979, then had a major comeback with 'Believe' in 1998.

Archive material and source history

Cher started singing in the early 1960s with Sonny Bono as the duo Sonny & Cher. Their 1965 single 'I Got You Babe' became a defining hit of that era. After the duo ended, she continued as a solo artist, releasing albums like 'Half-Breed' in 1973 and 'Take Me Home' in 1979.

In 1998, she released 'Believe,' a dance-pop track that became a global phenomenon. The song's distinctive use of Auto-Tune on the vocals helped it stand out, and it reached number one in multiple countries. Other songs from that period include 'Strong Enough' and 'If I Could Turn Back Time,' which had been released earlier but remained part of her setlists.

She has recorded a version of U2's 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For,' showing her willingness to reinterpret material from different genres. Over the decades, her work has spanned pop, rock, and dance music, with a catalog that includes both the Sonny & Cher material and her solo recordings.
