Described as embodying female autonomy in a male-dominated industry, she is known for her distinctive contralto singing voice and for having worked in numerous areas of entertainment, as well as adopting a variety of styles and appearances during her five-decade-long career, which has led to her being nicknamed the Goddess of Pop. Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband–wife duo Sonny & Cher after their song "I Got You Babe" reached number one on the American and British charts. She began her solo career simultaneously, releasing in 1966 her first million-seller song, "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)". She became a television personality in the 1970s with her shows ''The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour'', watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and ''Cher''. She emerged as a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows. While working on television, she established herself as a solo artist with the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart-topping singles "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves", "Half-Breed", and "Dark Lady". After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, Cher launched a comeback in 1979 with the disco-oriented album ''Take Me Home'' and earned $300,000 a week for her 1980–1982 residency show in Las Vegas. In the early 1980s, Cher made her Broadway debut in the play ''Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean'', and then starred in the film adaptation of the same title. In the ensuing years, she starred in films such as ''Silkwood'', ''Mask'', and ''Moonstruck'', for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1988. At the same time, she revived her musical career by recording the rock-inflected albums ''Cher'', ''Heart of Stone'', and ''Love Hurts'', all of which yielded several hit singles. She reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the song "Believe", which features the pioneering use of Auto-Tune, also known as the "Cher effect". Her 2002–2005 Living Proof: The Farewell Tour became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time, earning $250 million. In 2008, she signed a $180 million deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. After seven years of absence, she returned to film in the 2010 musical ''Burlesque''. Cher's first studio album in 12 years, ''Closer to the Truth'' (2013), became her highest-charting solo album in the U.S. to date at number three. Cher has won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, a special CFDA Fashion Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and a Cannes Film Festival Award, among several other honors. Throughout her career, she has sold 200 million records worldwide. She is the only artist to date to have a number-one single on a ''Billboard'' chart in each decade from the 1960s to the 2010s. Outside of her music and acting, she is noted for her political views, philanthropic endeavors and activism for LGBT rights. ==Life and career== 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「Cher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
