The Cher Bible, Vol. 2: Timeline 2018 Edition

Book excerpt: Cher started her career as a backing vocalist for Phil Spector's iconic Wall of Sound, before shooting to superstardom herself with the sixties anthem I Got You Babe. Cher mastered folk-rock, achieved three US #1's during the singer-songwriter era of the 1970's, whilst having a glittering television career. She made her mark on disco, Broadway and the 1980's hair metal scene and earned the highest acting honor available. Cher absolutely conquered the 1990's dance scene whilst in her 50's, and was given the Goddess Of Pop title in her 60's. Along the way, Cher has knocked The Beatles off #1, had five US Hot 100 hits simultaneously, appeared on the Live Aid stage, had US#1 movies with Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson, attended Madonna's wedding in a purple wig, called David Letterman an "asshole", inaugurated Disneyland, had the highest-grossing female tour of all-time, had hits in six decades and held Lady Gaga's meat purse. She's done it all. She's Cher – The Goddess of Pop... 2017, and more so 2018, have been active and exciting years for Cher — and her fans. With the success of Classic Cher and Edith+Eddie, and the announcements of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, the Here We Go Again Tour and The Cher Show, plus Cher receiving the Billboard Icon Award, it paved the way for updated versions of The Cher Bible, Vol. 1: Essentials and The Cher Bible, Vol. 2: Timeline.
