What makes her so famous?
Long before Madonna was showing her talent in the music and film industry, Cher had already been a television star, successful performer and an Academy Award winning actress.
Why we adore her..., as we do?
Spanning 3 decades in the music industry, hippies listened to Sonny and Cher sing "I've Got You, Babe", while club-goers danced to "Believe" in the '90s.
Biography
Cherilyn Sarkisian La Piere was born May 20th, 1946, in El Centro, California. The surprisingly shy youngster was the daughter of a struggling actress mother, and a father that left Cher and her mother when she was three years old. Poor, and looking to pursue an acting career, Cher headed for LA at age 16, leaving behind her family and her chances of obtaining a high school diploma.

In 1963, destiny changed for Cher when she and music producer Sonny Bono had a chance encounter at a coffee shop. The two became friends and eventually moved in together, despite the 11-year age difference between them. By the time they sang their hit, "I Got You, Babe", the pair were lovers, and the song became a theme song for hippie lovebirds everywhere.

Before hitting it big with "I Got You, Babe", Sonny and Cher performed in venues such as bowling alleys, under the name Caesar and Cleo. Cher's solo recordings under the monikers Bonnie Jo Mason and Cherilyn were also ill-fated attempts, and Sonny and Cher only saw stardom once they sang the 1965 Bono-penned love song.

Known as much for their groovy attire as for their following hits, "Baby Don't Go" and "Just You", Sonny and Cher's stardom was short-lived. They had one more hit in 1967, "The Beat Goes On", before getting married in 1969 and disappearing into 60's pop culture.
