An influential figure in popular culture, Cher has sustained a career spanning more than six decades through continual reinvention. Cher rose to fame in 1965 as part of the folk rock duo Sonny & Cher, whose hit single "I Got You Babe" became emblematic of 1960s counterculture.
Cher is of Armenian heritage on her father's side, and of English and German, with more distant Irish, Dutch, and French, heritage on her mother's side. Cher's parents divorced when she was an infant and her mother went on to marry six more times.
Cher is an American entertainer who parlayed her status as a pop singer in the 1960s into a successful recording, concert, and acting career, projecting an image that is altogether tough, vulnerable, and resilient.
