as an online single in streaming platforms and on her YouTube channel. In fact, the singleness of it made me think this was a new song being released with possibly the same name. It&#8217;s an interesting strategy to highlight this lost song in such a public way but I\u2019m glad Cher did so. Although it makes you wonder what a single really is in this day and age. Not only is this an old song, but hasn&#8217;t Taylor Swift made the idea of a single obsolete in the last year of every song of her album charting because it&#8217;s stream-able over and over again?<\/p>\n<p>This song is later-day Phil Spector production and I think his style really gives the song an ethereal and lush lifeforce. Thanks to remastering I finally understand the line &#8220;And if it had to be tried, I tried it.&#8221; It also makes me understand Rona Barrett&#8217;s odd interview question to Cher about whether she ever sold her body for sex. Possibly Barrett had just heard this song and wondered if Cher was singing from experience.<\/p>\n<p>I had heard about this very single in Cher biographies and had just gotten my drivers license in 1985 but was afraid to drive on St. Louis highways so I took back roads down to a south St. Louis county used record store where I found the 45. I was so excited, like I had struck gold; but the drive home took so long I was almost late for a dinner out with some visiting family and my mother was really pissed (this before the days of cell phones). Needless to say I had to wait later until that night to hear it. And I love to eat out so this was an odd torture for me. This was pre-Internet and I had not heard not a note of it before. I loved it and also its b-side cover of The Ronettes&#8217; &#8220;Baby, I Love You&#8221; (not on the <em>Forever Fan<\/em> compilation). It took me decades longer to find the remaining Spector song in the trilogy, the Harry Nilsson duet which I found one day at a used record store near Kent State in Ohio while driving from St. Louis to Yonkers, New York.<\/p>\n<p>Here is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mr4Wk4pRWZU\">the song from\u00a0Cher&#8217;s Youtube<\/a>.\u00a0Cher Universe has already made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MbK5ST_n8Og\">fan video<\/a> from the CR fashion book <a href=\"https:\/\/video.search.yahoo.com\/search\/video?fr=mcafee&amp;p=kim+kardashian+cher+naomi+film+mert+marcus&amp;type=E210US105G0#id=1&amp;vid=232fce0b657d0face46f019324a073d5&amp;action=click\">photo shoot film<\/a> as a base.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s possibly a new tour in the works, the Hall of Fame induction in need of merch and credibility, and a memoir that needs a soundtrack.
