5.0 out of 5 stars
The Design of Four amazing Decades, 25 May 2004
Since Cher first appeared as an awkward hippy with her husband Sonni Bono as the duo Sonni and cher, she has carved a career which is truly the stuff of legend. Cher has sung the biggest selling female single in the UK,"Believe", has made countless fabulous records which have been of te rock, pop, dance and even cowboy style genre and she even had a brilliant career as an actress winning an academy award. This album has brilliantly captured the magic of Cher's fantastic career.The first track "Believe" ,which topped the UK charts for seven weeks, won a grammy and sold over 1.6 million copies in Britain alone is most certainly chers biggest hit. This brilliant dance track has Cher's powerful voice with brilliant dance beats and is a definition of fantastic dance music. itwas recorded for Cher's first dance and biggest selling album ever, "Believe". "Strong Enough" starts off like a mournful ballad but then turns into a rousing dance track of confidence telling the world how strong Cher is and how you can't bringh her down. This reached #5 in the UK and was also off the "Believe" album. "If I Could Turn Back Time" the shout along anthem which allowed Cher to prove just how strong her voice is was one of the greatest songs of the rock era and reached #6 in the UK. Though not her greatest hit i feel this is Cher's greates song with amazing lyrics, powerful vocals and strong rocky guitars. "The Shoop Shoop Song" was Cher's revamp of an old Betty Everett classic and she made it so fantastic that it topped the UK charts for 5 weeks. This cheery and uplifting song was on the soundtrack for Cher's comedy movie classic "Mermaids". "Just Like Jesse James" was Chers cowboy song which Cher has admitted she thinks is "absolute crap" but i must admit i love this song and think Chers powerful voice has made this power ballad really stand out and her passion she puts into it is spectacular. "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" is a brilliant US #1 with some cheery gypsie tamborines and chers distinctive voice singing about her life in a travelling show. A brilliant song that rightfully stands out in chers fabulous career. Another rock song that Cher made a big hit was the fantastic "I Found Someone" which also reveals Cher's passion and powerful vocals. Excellent. Of course form the very early years of Cher's career you of course have the international #1 Sonni & Cher hit "I Got You Babe", silly but cheerful and even from this young age Cher still had some voice. Another good Sonni and Cher cklassic here is "The Beat Goes On" with its simple but driving beats. Lets not go on anymore about the endless cher classic which have become a part of music history, form the early Cher hits "Bang, Bang(My Baby Shot Me Down)" or "All i Really Want To Do" or the eery but fabulous US #1 "Dark Lady". Thgis album is in one word EXCELLENT! A must have classic album.
