''Chér'' is the eponymous third studio album by American singer-actress Cher, released on October 1966 by Imperial. Cher collaborates again with Sonny Bono, with Harold Battiste and with Stan Ross. The album is by-and-large a covers album and contains only one song written by Bono. This album was a moderate commercial success, charted #59 on the ''Billboard'' Chart.〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/cher-1966-mw0001008749/releases〕 ==Album information== ''Chér'' was released in 1966, produced by Sonny Bono and issued by the Liberty Records subsidiary, Imperial Records. The album again follows the same formula of the two previous albums, with rearranged covers and new songs written by Bono exclusively for her. There's more French influence〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chèr Review )〕 in the record and more folk. The only hit in Europe generated from this album was her version of Burt Bacharach's "Alfie" from the Michael Caine movie. Although her version was on the film's soundtrack, it didn't fare nearly as well as the Dionne Warwick version—now considered definitive.〔 Despite the lack of impact it had on the market there were three singles released: the ballad "Alfie", "I Feel Something in the Air" and "Sunny".〔 In this year Cher recorded also three other songs: "She's No Better Than Me" released on the b-side of the "Alfie" single, "Ma Piano (Per Non Svegliarmi)" and "Nel Mio Cielo Ci Sei Tu", an Italian version of "I Feel Something in the Air" released on the b-side of "Ma Piano (Per Non Svegliarmi)".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fansite about Italian songs ) 〕 Though not as successful as the two records preceding it, ''Chér'' did manage to score a European top ten hit with "Sunny". "Alfie" and "I Feel Like Something's In The Air" also charted, but only peaked at #26 in Canada, #32 in U.S.; and 43 in United Kingdom respectively. In December 2005, this album and Cher's next album ''With Love, Chér'' were reissued on one CD called ''Chér/With Love'' which featured all the tracks from both. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chér (1966 album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
