	🥁 3:30pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry. She has had a remarkable career.
	3:30pm Erica: Kinks hot, excuse me.
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:30 I don't think they ever officially released it
	3:30pm northguineahills: just to put it perspective, Cher's "Do you Believe" is now classic pop (1998)

	3:31pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:30 Hi Brian!

	3:32pm Funky16Corners: ↳ northguineahills @3:30 Crazy, right?
	3:33pm Erica: Same thing goes for when trying to say hi to Kip. My phone was correct it to Lip.
	3:34pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:33 I hate autocorrect
	3:36pm bobob plasticland: I'm gonna be up there 11 thru 19 or 20..if your around maybe will git together for a lunch one those dazzzze..how to contact you?????
	🥁 3:38pm Brian in UK: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:34 I hate autocarrot too!

	3:40pm Erica: Bugs Bunny would be pleased.
	3:45pm still b/p: ↳ Erica @3:31 "I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over. I know I've made some very poor decisions recently but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission."
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:45 whut now?
	3:47pm Erica: ↳ still b/p @3:45 What are you talking about?
	3:47pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:46 Be nice to larry, please?
	3:47pm bobobobob plasticland: I'm actually gonna donate two of those dazzze two of my dazzze sending out swag to donation WFMU listeners if they need me ..I'll talk to Scott Williams ...
	3:50pm doctorjazz: Something kinda odd hearing Cher covering Dylan...
	3:51pm Erica: ↳ doctorjazz @3:50 Not as odd as these comments are getting.
	3:51pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:50 She did a bunch of Dylan covers
	3:52pm Erica: Sorry but I'm just confused.
	3:53pm still b/p: ↳ Erica @3:47 HAL-speak, from "2001," when supersmart tech gets glitchy.
	3:53pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @3:53 Ah, I was worried there for a minute.
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: Now all I can see is Hal's red eye...
	3:54pm Erica: ↳ still b/p @3:53 Thank you for explaining. I didn't get the reference.
	🥁 3:54pm Brian in UK: Did Sonny produce these albums?
	3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:54 He did, co-arranging with Harold Battiste
	3:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:51 Just doesn't quite work for me, ymmv, of course
	3:55pm doctorjazz: She always did have quite the voice (Sonny could have used some work on the pipes)
	3:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @3:55 You can really hear her "tuning her instrument" over the course of these albums. Starts out kind of raw and tightens up as she goes along.
	3:57pm Funky16Corners: BTW I love this arrangement. This was a hit over in the UK
	🥁 3:58pm Brian in UK: I imagine with her voice that Cher could have gone down the Julie London road.
	3:58pm Funky16Corners: Almost all of the chart placements I see for this are Pirate Radio and Sweden
	3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Brian in UK @3:58 She really has done it all. Over the course of 60 years she's hit most of the pop singing bases
	4:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Catch The Wind" by "Cher" Now Donavan is a better fit.
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: Radio 227 at Sea lists three versions of Sunny, Georgie Fame, Cher and Bobby Hebb tied at position 7 on their 10.8.66 chart
	4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Pied Piper" by "Cher" This is by far my fave version of this song
	🥁 4:05pm WR: ↳ doctorjazz @3:50 Dylan material matched Cher's talent well, except Like a Rolling Stone where there are so many words coming so fast that she has a hard time getting them all out.
	4:06pm still b/p: Given her long cross-generational arc, it's hard to know who knows or saw or remembers what. When a young friend sang a phrase from "If I Could Turn Back Time" the other day, I mentioned how the Navy reportedly didn't know in advance what Cher would wear for that video while on their ship, and they din' like it when they saw the finished product. The guy didn't know about it, never saw the vid. And I tried to calculate "That was...when? ...and you were...what? ..and that part of her career was...?"
	4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:06 If your experience was post-MTV the videos don't register as much
	4:08pm Funky16Corners: I'm constantly reminded how much time has passed when I make a reference to an artist's "later" material and it's already 30 years old
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Song: "Alfie" by "Cher" Another one where it's my favorite version
	4:16pm still b/p: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:14 As much as I like the Black and Warwick versions, this would've worked fine for the film.
	4:21pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:16 It was in the film, played over the end credits
	4:22pm still b/p: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:21 Don't remember that. Good.
	4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ still b/p @4:22 It's a really wonderfully designed credit sequence, too. Very Pop Art
	4:24pm Erica: ↳ Song: "You Better Sit Down Kids" by "Cher" I noticed Cher's version had some lyrics changed in her version.
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:24 I suspect whoever arranged Liza;s medley may have made adjustments
	4:28pm Funky16Corners: Mamas and Papas covered this around the same time
	4:34pm Andrew in Toronto: You might want to check your email.
	4:36pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:34 Who, me?
	4:36pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ northguineahills @3:30 You might want to check your email.
	4:45pm Woo: I've been enjoying the Cher very much. Thanks for playing it.
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: This is a Miriam Makeba cover, sung in Xhosa
	4:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Woo @4:45 Thanks Woo!
	4:45pm Woo: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:45 There is nothing Cher can't do.
	4:45pm Discotech Underground: Cher and Cher alike! Great show today, Larry! Join me for the first of two appearances of Discotech Underground NEXT! Join me from 5-7 AND from 10-midnight as I fill in for The Cool Blue Flame! wfmu.org...
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Discotech Underground @4:45 Hey Kip!
	🥁 4:46pm WR: ↳ Song: "Alfie" by "Cher" according to the fairly detailed wiki page, Cher's version was not on the film, Cilla Black's version was. Appropriately, the singer who had the biggest success with the song was Dionne Warwick. en.wikipedia.org...
	4:47pm Erica: Hey Kip and not Lip lol
	4:47pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:46 Cher's version is def played over the closing credits. I promise. Seen it a bunch of times
	4:48pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:46 Check the IMDB listing
	4:48pm still b/p: ↳ WR @4:46 Give 'er a listen: www.youtube.com...
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: Here’s the sequence https://youtu.be/48oLsDImC5A?si=PiB5fnRfM40sPxV7
	4:50pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry!
	🥁 4:51pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Larry.
	4:53pm still b/p: "The Boys From Syracuse."
	4:53pm bradford: Many thanks, Larry!
	🥁 4:54pm Yvang: Thanks Larry for this Cher show.

	4:59pm bobob: reminds me of my friend from Milwaukee.harvey scales
	4:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bobob @4:59 Rex and Harvey were working the same side of the street!
	5:00pm bobob plasticland: Plasticland and the 7 sounds were friends
	5:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ bobob plasticland @5:00 That's very cool!
	8:23am Cal Zone!: Great show Larry! I was listening on the new android app, which does not allow for posting comments. I need more Cher reckids!
	9:23am Funky16Corners: ↳ Cal Zone! @8:23 Thanks Cal!
