Cher through the Years

We have done a lot of posts about Cher on Do You Remember. Why? Because there are only a handful of superstars (Madonna, Prince, Elvis, Sting, Bono to name a few) who can carry a single name and whose career transcends decades. Cher is one of those superstars. Enjoy clips from her top 10 singles, and an “original” video we put together to honor Cher.

Following are the all-time top 10 best singles of Cher:

“Just Like Jesse James”

“The Beat Goes On”

This 1967 Sonny and Cher song peaked at #6. “The Beat Goes On” and “I Got You Babe” became their signature theme songs.
