Given a five-decade career that's been one long series of critical write-offs and subsequent comeback triumphs, it's tempting to argue that the natural elements are actually earth, wind, fire, water--and Cher. Anchored by her 1998 international mega-success "Believe" (the song that made Cher the oldest woman to score a chart topper) and its equally club-savvy contemporary collaborations with producers Mark Taylor and Brian Rawlings, "Song for the Lonely" and "A Different Kind of Love Song," this 21-track anthology is indeed the first to contain all her No. 1 hits, stretching back to her epochal 1965 duet with Sonny Bono on the faux-Dylan "I Got You Babe." And if it shortchanges her Phil Spector-rooted origins and a true perspective on her '60s and '70s career (though kitsch classic chart toppers "Dark Lady," "Half-Breed," and "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" are all here) to focus on her string of '80s and '90s pop successes in service of writers like Diane Warren ("If I Could Turn Back Time") and Desmond Child ("Just Like Jesse James"), it's good to remember that, according to the pop soothsayers, none of them were even supposed to happen, let alone make her an icon for a whole new generation. It's a tribute to sheer, fashion-defying willpower--and as unlikely an argument for the notion of "the singer, not the song" as one is likely to find. --Jerry McCulley

After The Nuclear Holocaust There Will Be Cockroaches And Cher.
This is a Great set of songs, to start off ... you would need at least 10 volume's to get near "The Very Best of Cher" (Nielsen SoundScan reports sales of over 2.3 million in the United States)
Cher first charted on Billboard (Bubbling Under The Hot 100) on 12-26-1964 with "Baby Don't Go", a Sonny and Cher song that eventually reached #8 on the "Billboard Hot 100" in 1965 (and one of my Favorite songs) Cher has gone on to win a Grammy for "Believe" and an Emmy for "Cher: The Farewell Tour" (16.6 million viewers according to Nielsen Media Research)
Cher's movie's include "Silkwood", "Mask" and "Moonstruck" (Best Actress Academy Award winner)
Cher has talked about politics on occasion, most recently voicing support for Hillary Clinton for President - After all the votes were counted and certified in the 2008 Presidential Primary race, Hillary Clinton not only received more votes than any of her rivals, she received more votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in history.

An amazing span of work. Cher truly knew how to reinvent herself over the decades and come out with a winning hit that would have next generations of fans listening to her songs. Way to go Cher! I like all of the songs on this cd.

It has alot of good songs, but I felt it needed more I would have liked to be a 2 disc set then it would have been the very best cause a lot of my faviorite songs were not in it!
Like Carousel Men etc...
but it is still good and worth getting!
