Looking Back--Part 3

I like to think of myself as the original Cher fan. I used to love watching "The Sonny and Cher Show". I especially looked forward to the end of the show when they would bring Chastity out. Yes, this was a long time ago.

I don't remember my exact age, but I had the cutest, baby blue portable record player. Yes, I'm old enough to remember records, what of it! Anyway, one Christmas I got Cher's new-at-the-time album. It had a beautiful picture of Cher on the front, dressed in an Indian outfit--what would now have to be called a Native American outfit. I thought she was so beautiful--her smooth cafe-colored skin, long, shiny, black hair. I absolutely adored her. I played that album over and over and over. My absolute favorite song was "Half Breed", although I knew every song on that album by heart, and mostly still do. To this day, I love to sing "Dark Lady" at the top of my lungs. Old habits die hard.
