Happy Bithday Cher!

Cher, aka Cherilyn Sarkisian was born today (5/20) in 1946.

From her 1st Top 20 single in 1965 (a cover of Bob Dylan's "All I Really Want To Do") though 1998's #1 "Believe", Cher has been a force in pop music.  22 Top 40 singles during that time, 12 of those Top 10.  And four #1s.   Oh yeah, she had some success with Sonny and Cher, with 11 more Top 40 hits.  Six (6) of which made Top 10.  Sonny and Cher only hhad one #1, but that was the iconic "I Got You Babe".


I especially like the version of "Unchained Medley" from Sonny and Cher's 1965 debut album.  I picked up this album in a Goodwill in Durhan, NC back around 1980 or so.
