Cher | 20/5/1946 | 75
Cher has been a juggernaut in the music industry for decades. Born in California, she first began her career in the 1960s, performing in small clubs along the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. She subsequently met Sonny Bono in 1962, who would end up marrying her years later. Cher released her iconic debut album, All I Really Want to Do, in 1965, to modest success. At this point, Cher and Bono began working together under the name Sonny & Cher. Their most successful albums include Look at Us, The Wondrous World of Sonny & Cher, and In Case You’re in Love. Simultaneously, Cher managed to have her successful solo career.
Despite a slump in the late 1960s, she made a comeback in the early 1970s. However, the climb to success stopped due to Cher’s split from Bono. These patterns of recoveries became noted throughout her entire career, with at least two more comebacks experienced by her since. At the age of 75, Cher remains a highly respected figure, having sold more than 100 million records and winning countless awards. She receives credit for inspiring numerous artists within the industry today.
