Chér

Review by Sid Emerson

Chér, released in 1966, is Cher's third studio album. It's marked by a blend of pop and folk, continuing the theme from her previous works. The album mainly consists of cover songs with a singular original song by Sonny Bono. It's recognized for its European flair and folk influences. While the album had moderate commercial success, peaking at number 59 on the Billboard 200, it did produce hits like "Alfie" and "Sunny," showcasing Cher's dynamic vocal range and her ability to interpret songs deeply and emotively.
