Together they sold 40 million records worldwide. Her solo career was established during the same time, with the top-ten singles "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" and "You Better Sit Down Kids". She became a television personality in the 1970s with her CBS shows; first The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and then the namesake Cher. She emerged as a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows.
While working on television, Cher released the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves", "Half-Breed", and "Dark Lady", becoming the female artist with the most number-one singles in United States history at the time. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, she released the disco album Take Me Home (1979) and earned $300,000 a week for her 1979–1982 concert residency in Las Vegas.
In 1982, Cher made her Broadway debut in the play Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean and starred in its film adaptation. She subsequently garnered critical acclaim for her performances in films such as Silkwood (1983), Mask (1985), The Witches of Eastwick (1987), and Moonstruck (1987), the last of which won her the Academy Award for Best Actress. She then revived her music career by recording the rock-inflected albums Cher (1987), Heart of Stone (1989), and Love Hurts (1991), all of which yielded successful singles such as "I Found Someone", "If I Could Turn Back Time", and "Love and Understanding". Cher contributed to the soundtrack for her next film, Mermaids (1990), which spawned the UK number-one single "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)". She made her directorial debut with a segment in the abortion-themed anthology If These Walls Could Talk (1996).
Cher reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the dance-pop album Believe, whose title track topped the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1999 and became the biggest-selling single of all time by a female artist in the UK. It features pioneering use of Auto-Tune to distort her vocals, 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 $60 million deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. During the 2010s, she landed starring roles in the films Burlesque (2010) and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) and released studio albums Closer to the Truth (2013) and Dancing Queen (2018), both of which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200.
Having sold 100 million records, Cher is one of the world's best-selling music artists. Her achievements include a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards, the Billboard Icon Award, and awards from the Kennedy Center Honors and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. She is the only artist to date to have a number-one single on a Billboard chart in six consecutive decades, from the 1960s to the 2010s. Aside from music and acting, she is noted for her political views, social media presence, philanthropic endeavors, and social activism, including LGBT rights and HIV/AIDS prevention.

Different Kind Of Love Song
Cher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This a different kind of love song
This a different kind of love song
This a different kind of love
What if the world was crazy and I was sane
Would it be so strange?
I can't believe that I am alone in saying
I am a part of you
These are universal truths
We're all part of the light that flows through everything
This is a different kind of love song
Dedicated to everyone
Different kind of love song whoa, whoa
This is a different kind of love song
A higher plane we can go on
Different kind of love song whoa, whoa (love song)
What if the world calmed down and we all could breath
Together easily
Connecting the sky and the ground with you and me
And everything in between
I am part of you
We have living proof
There is some kind of light that flows through everything
This is a different kind of love song
Dedicated to everyone
Different kind of love song whoa, whoa
This is a different kind of love song
A higher plane we can go on
Different kind of love song whoa
This is a different kind of love song whoa
This is a different kind of love song whoa
(This is a different kind of love song)
This is a different kind of love song (ooh)
(Different kind of love song) love song whoa, whoa
This is a different kind of love song
Dedicated to everyone
Different kind of love song (whoa, whoa)
This is a different kind of love song
A higher plane we can go on
Different kind of love song (whoa)
This is a different kind of love song
This is a different kind, a different kind of love song (whoa, whoa)
Cher's "Different Kind of Love Song" is a soulful ballad that speaks to the unity and connectedness of humanity, no matter how irrational or chaotic the world may seem. The opening lines pose a thought-provoking question about the relationship between sanity and insanity and how one's perspective might shift if the roles were reversed. The underlying message seems to suggest that we are all in this together, and sometimes what the world needs is a little bit of empathy and understanding.
Cher's lyrics are full of powerful imagery that evokes a sense of interconnectedness and unity, using phrases like "part of you" and "light that flows through everything." This is not your typical love song in the traditional sense; it's a love song to humanity as a whole. The chorus repeats the phrase "different kind of love song" as a way of emphasizing this point.
The second verse expands on the concept of unity, imagining a world where everyone is able to "calm down" and "breathe together easily." Cher speaks of the connection between the sky and the ground, implying that everything in between is equally important and interdependent. She reminds us that we are all "part of you," meaning that we all play a role in one another's lives, even if we don't see it.
Overall, "Different Kind of Love Song" is a powerful and uplifting message about the interconnectedness of humanity and the need for empathy and understanding in a sometimes-chaotic world.

No words to descrive this masterpiece!

Because Cher is ageless and will always be every entertainers hero. She's been in the business for 6 decades and still remains at the top of her game. Cher's fans rule, just like her.
