In the 1970s, Cher was everywhere. Although her music partnership with Sonny Bono was fading, her solo career was taking off, with a string of hit singles. But while Sonny & Cher’s run on the music charts was ending, the duo’s run on television was just beginning. With The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour and The Sonny & Cher Show, they gave us six seasons of ’70s-style television variety shows, filled with music, comedy, and Cher’s ostentatious wardrobe (often courtesy of legendary designer Bob Mackie). And on her own, Cher had a two-season run of her own variety show. Between the various shows, she worked with some of the hottest stars of the day. One of the most memorable guest appearances came when The Jacksons visited her solo show, and she performed a medley of the group’s hits, singing and dancing alongside Michael Jackson. As Cher makes the rounds promoting her new autobiography, Cher: The Memoir, Part One, we’ve been looking back at her career and the stories she’s told us over the years. When it came to that famous performance with The Jacksons, she said a couple of memories stood out vividly for her. (Click on the media bar below to hear Cher)
