BELIEVE (Song Review)
Six songwriters came up with this pop masterpiece, one of the few songs to be able to break through the impenetrable wall of late 1990's fragmented radio to permeate the consciousness of the world at large. The days when much of the planet was singing along with Frank Sinatra's "That's Life", Bobby Hebb's immortal "Sunny", or McCartney's "Yesterday" seem so long ago, but Cher found a tune and a production that knocked the walls down from dance floors to the radio and beyond. "Believe" is one of those melodies that mark a time in a person's life when a relationship folds up for good and it is time to move on. It's a theme that the singer can more than relate to in both her personal and professional life. She was down for the count, and counted out, and has come back time and again like a boomerang.

BANG BANG (My Baby Shot Me Down) Review
Two minutes and forty-four seconds of compelling innuendo with striking musical accompaniment comprise Imperial Records 45 RPM #66160, Cher's third - and biggest - solo hit of the Sonny Bono productions prior to Snuff Garrett getting involved with the diva. Read more here:
