‘The Best of Cher’ Arrives Sept. 15
Some stars are beautiful, some stars are talented, a precious few are icons, and only one… is CHER. From the sequined ‘70s to the rocking ‘90s and beyond, no one has kept delighting us, surprising us, and entertaining us like Cher. And she’s not done yet! For the first time ever, all the spectacular highlights of Cher’s remarkable career are together in one electrifying collection – The Best of Cher. So sit back, be cool, and enjoy hours of legendary music and comedy.
Cher initially rose to stardom as part of a singing act with then husband Sonny Bono in the 1960s, hitting No. 1 with the single “I Got You Babe” before they starred together on The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour. Following a parting of ways, the incredibly talented artist spread her wings, established a chart-topping solo career of her own, starred in her own variety show, and sold out music venues across the globe.

The Best of Cher Volume 1: 5 DVDs
When America’s favorite musical couple parted ways in 1974, effectively ending The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, CBS quickly decided to give Cher her own variety show. Simply titled Cher, the new series starring the soon-to-be superstar aired its first episode in February 1975. In the opening, Cher told the audience: “My future is in your hands. I am really happy to be back. No, I am thrilled to be back.” Now 10 episodes of Cher’s very own show are available for the first time in over 40 years! See Cher flying solo with a nonstop cavalcade of the hottest stars.

The Best of Cher Volume 2: 4 DVDs
Cher is one of a kind and her legendary TV specials hit our screens as family-friendly, psychedelic, counterculture kaleidoscopes. Whether playing all the parts in West Side Story, a roller-skating goddess, the snake in the Garden of Eden, a synchronized secretary, or simply Laverne—no one puts on a show like Cher. And her Vegas shows (and outfits!) were even more spectacular. As a young girl, Cher’s mom promised her that she was special and that one day she would believe it. We believe!
