The Very Best of Cher [Warner Bros #1]

by
Cher
Since it's a cross-licensed, 21-track collection, it stands to reason that Warner Strategic Marketing's 2003 The Very Best of Cher is finally the Cher collection that gets it right, presenting a fully rounded portrait of her long, winding, multi-label career. It's not, but it's closer than any previous collection, eclipsing Hip-O's 2001 The ...

Britney Spears
At the beginning of the '90s, teen currency shifted from bubblegum'n'Tiger Beat to grunge'n'Maximum Rock & Roll. Although it may have been pushed from the spotlight, teen pop hadn't died -- it, in a way, went underground, spending time on the fringes of pop culture. One of the leading lights of the exiled teen brigade was The New Mickey Mouse Club ...

Sonny & Cher
Despite the poor design and cheapo look of Rhino Flashbacks' Sonny & Cher collection titled I Got You Babe & Other Hits, it turns out to be a very nice disc musically. Both of the duo's chart smashes are here (1965's number one hit "I Got You Babe" and 1967's number six "The Beat Goes On") as well as eight other singles that placed in the Top 60 ...

Cher
2005's Gold is basically an expanded version of 2003's The Very Best of Cher, running to 32 tracks instead of 21. It retails for about the same price, and unless you don't want the extra 11 songs, supplants that album as the best career-spanning collection on the market. And what a career she had. Starting in the mid-'60s with the girl group ...

Sonny & Cher
Although Sonny & Cher's music fell to the bubblegum side of pop, the fact remains that Sonny wrote some infectiously good songs, and thanks to Cher's sultry vocals, the duo enjoyed some massive hits. This ten-song set has two of them, "I Got You Babe" and the clever "The Beat Goes On," but unfortunately the rest of what is here is undeniably ...

Sonny & Cher
Weighing in at a generous 21 tracks, Atco's The Beat Goes On: The Best of Sonny & Cher is the definitive portrait of Sonny & Cher in their glory years. The duo left Atco in the late '60s, staging a comeback on Kapp/MCA Records in the early '70s, which means latter-day hits such as"All I Ever Need Is You" and "A Cowboy's Work Is Never Done" aren't ...

The expanded CD release of this second Vanilla Fudge album is much more accessible than the original vinyl version because of the inclusion of a number of cover tunes, most notably Beatles songs.

Sonny & Cher
Sonny & Cher's third album, and their last success for four years, lacked the unity of their earlier work. By the beginning of 1967, psychedelia was taking hold, but Sonny Bono was at a loss to write or produce music in that mode. Instead, he came up with "The Beat Goes On," a huge hit that sold the album. The rest doesn't match up, though at its ...

This Cher tribute is entertaining for a spin, but who is it made for? Probably fanatics who need everything by Lisa Loeb, Sheila E., or maybe even Cher, but they'll be underwhelmed by the performances, alienated by the disc's constant genre-jumping, and bored by the studio band's sterile delivery of the music. The production for Tiffany's "The ...

The sound is very good, and the range of music is almost dizzying, as the ...
