YOU CAN SING
Unfortunately, this page of your life does not exist. You can't sing, but maybe this can work for you, too. You're pushy, remember. And even though record companies can't pick a single, radio stations used to be able to. You convince a station to play the b-side of a single called "It's Gonna Rain." The song "I Got You Babe" becomes your signature song and History is born. A decent debut album goes #2, the single #1, you're on "Shindig," you sell out the Hollywood Bowl. A couple of horrendous Sonny ampersand Cher records follow, some Cher solo hits, a movie no one goes to see and then the youth culture goes all tie-dye on you. Record buyers now want to become one with their lava lamps, not watch you two with your anti-drug spots and your paisley love. Rock stars doing anti-drug ads won't take off until the mid-80s when everyone's in rehab. Therefore you're stuck in the extremities of Uncooldom. Have a seat. You'll be here for awhile. Chastity makes her first appearance in '69 and it's hard to pay the baby bill. Your records have been flopping. You do "Laugh-In" spots and campaign for Robert Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey. Isn't it ironic? Don't cha think? And now it's time for something completely different:
You retire to flash-in-the-pan obscurity. Back to the Beginning of the Story
