In 1975, millions of people in America stopped everything they were doing to watch one woman on Sunday nights? Cher was the queen of television and she had just started her own solo journey after leaving Sonny Bono.
During that performance, she invited Mac Davis to join her on the stage. Mac was the talented man who wrote legendary hits for Elvis Presley.
The two of them stood close together sang a medley of Elvis’s most famous songs.

There is a certain kind of energy that you can not fake when two people are standing that close. Fans still wonder if there was a secret romance happening behind the scenes that year.
People who watched this live still talk about how moving it was to hear them sing about life in the ghetto. They mentioned that they always wished Cher would have recorded more songs with Mac.
That quiet spark paved the way for something much louder and bolder later in the season.
Cher knew how to go from a gentle country song to something that would set the whole building on fire. She welcomed the legendary Tina Turner to join her for a performance that no one would ever forget.
This change in pace was like moving from a slow dance to a wild party in a matter of seconds.

Cher has always been a woman who follows her heart and her own rules through every decade of her long career. Her voice has a deep style that connects with people regardless of where they come from.
