From Quiz Cher's Albums
Answer:
Cher
The 1987 album, "Cher", released four singles, but only three of those four singles were hits. The first single is entitled, "I Found Someone", a song that was originally recorded by Laura Branigan, but it was not a huge hit for Laura. The album's second single was entitled "We All Sleep Alone". The third single was entitled "Main Man". The fourth and final single to be released from the album was entitled "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)". This Sonny Bono penned song was originally recorded by Cher herself back in 1966 for her second album, "The Sonny Side Of Cher". The song was a huge hit back then. But for this 1987 album, Cher decided to re-record the song, musically and vocally, in order to include it on this album. This re-recorded version features an all-out rock/heavy metal sound.
This 1987 album, "Cher", is not Cher's first self-titled album. In 1966, after releasing her second album, "The Sonny Side Of Cher", Cher had released her third album, "Cher", the first album to have been self-titled. The 1987 album is the second album to be self-titled.
1987, as it turns out, was an extraordinary successful year for Cher. The first part of that hugely successful year was Cher's first album release since 1982's "I Paralyze". But the success didn't stop with the music department. Cher had even starred in three films back to back to back. First, she starred, alongside Dennis Quaid and Liam Neeson in the suspense/thriller film, "Suspect" as Kathleen Riley. The second Cher film of 1987 is "The Witches Of Eastwick". The film starred Cher as Alexandra "Alex" Medford, Susan Sarandon as Jane Spofford, and Michelle Pfeiffer as Sukie Ridgemont, three girlfriends, who describe the things they look for in a man, which conjures up Daryl Van Horne (played by Jack Nicholson), who turns out to be The Devil himself. Through Daryl, Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer realize that they turn out to be...witches. The third and final Cher film of 1987 is "Moonstruck", where Cher plays the Italian-American widow, Loretta Casterini. Her role in "Moonstruck" helped Cher win the Academy Award for best actress in 1988.
