      yeah, there's a lot to write about that time period, the Wrecking Crew, Sonny Bono & Spector, all the songwriters, studio musicians & backup singers, producers, engineers & their previous and subsequent careers (from Surf to Psch-influenced music, for example)..... And not just Los Angeles but also the wide range of music originating from Detroit & Memphis among others.. And also the social changes that are simultaneous and/or related (I firmly believe that Rock'n Roll, then Soul Music played a huge role in the struggle against segregation).... That's just my (=continental european) point of view, by the way...

    I love her. "You're obsessed with yourself, get over it...It's for him and it's important." Sure, she had all those surgeries and blah blah blah. So what. This woman's heart is huge.

    This woman Cher does incredible things and sings for a pachyderm to calm it down.

    Cher is a light worker and heals her nation and has done them proud and is in the Smithoiason channel that says a lot about her life!

    I remember watching her on the sunny and Cher show, then they had a beautiful daughter Chasity. Those where the days sweet memories 🇨🇦☮️

    I find it so comforting that such an indisputable Legend like Cher still has issues with self-consciousness and confidence.

    We know for a fact that our vet Dr Amir Khalil enjoyed singing with Cher! It was one of our biggest rescue missions so far. We loved to #FreeKaavan!

    Amazing woman! I was 10 years old and spending the Summer at the family cottage when "I got you Babe" was released and so was Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde". Fantastic music and we had a treehouse with a Seabreeze record player and it was the best Summer!
