Cher's star ascended in the mid-'60s when she broke through with then-husband Sonny Bono. Their devotional duet “I Got You Babe” displayed her muscular pipes and confident charm, and since then her resilience and outsized personality have made her a brilliantly captivating entertainer. With aplomb and verve, Cher's strong alto can take on nearly any style of pop—storming story-songs, riff-heavy arena anthems, stark ballads, or inspirational dance tracks fusing high-energy beats with self-affirming lyrics—letting tracks from all over the spectrum become indisputably hers.
