If I Could Turn Back Time.......2007-01-11

I originally was buying this CD for a friend of mine as a Christmas present. Then I decided to order one for me also. We both like Cher. We were neither one disappointed. Cher is one of a kind.

CHER IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GREATEST FEMALE ENTERTAINERS AND ICON'S IN ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY!.......2006-12-30

I will be writing a review on the legendary brilliant masterpiece compilation album entitled "IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME, CHER'S GREATEST HITS" by one of the greatest female performers of ALL-TIME, I talking about the legendary and ALWAYS beautiful, CHER! This compilation was originally released in 1999 on CD on the Geffen Records label distributed by Universal Music & Video Distribution Inc. The matrix or ID number is INTD-90379. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

WOW! What can I say about this legendary compilation album and the legendary icon that recorded them all those years ago that hasn't already been said? I have mentioned and reviewed many of the great female performers in Rock n' Roll history but I must apologize deeply for not mentioning this beautiful entertainer and icon. She was born Cherilyn Sarkisian La Piere on 20 May 1946! When she met Salatore Phillip Bono (AKA Sonny Bono) in the early 60's who was 11 years older than her, BOTH their lives would be changed forever and would NEVER be the same again! Their show biz names would be changed to Sonny and Cher! And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY!" It wasn't until the early 70's that Sonny realized the full talent and potential of Cher and did not want to hold her back! Her voice sounded so rough and husky yet so beautiful! It would also be during the early 70's that Cher would begin on what would become an extremely successful solo career. When Cher's divorce from Sonny finalized in the early to mid 70's, it would be time for Cher to devote herself full time into her solo career! It would also be during this time that CHER would beautifully blossom into one of the GREATEST FEMALE PERFORMERS OF ALL-TIME! CHER would also blossom into one of the GREATEST FEMALE ACTRESSES OF ALL-TIME! This compilation album is a true testament of the many great contributions and achievements that CHER has given us! THIS IS CHER AT HER ABSOLUTE BEST! THIS LEGENDARY COMPILATION ALBUM IS HER STORY! In my opinion, This is ONE GREAT COMPILATION ALBUM! Every single song track is outstanding!

I will list and briefly review all the song tracks in their original exact running order as follows: (1.) "Love And Understanding," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! A great CHER ROCKER! I love the orchestra arrangements in this one! I love this song!) (2.) "Save Up All Your Tears," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great CHER ROCKER! CHER sings this song with such power and emotion that you can almost feel her tears in this one! You have to see the video on this song to believe it! I love this song!) (3.) "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great CHER song! This song is a remake from the past! I love this version!) (4.) "After All," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! I LOVE THIS SONG! A BEAUTIFUL DUET with Chicago's Peter Cetera! This is the title song from the film "CHANCES ARE!") (5.) "If I Could Turn Back Time," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Breathtaking! ANOTHER GREAT CHER ROCKER! This song kicks a*s! You need to see the video of this song to get the full impact and message that this song contains! CHER REALLY ROCKS OUT IN THIS ONE! This song is by far, ONE OF HER GREATEST EVER!) (6.) "Just Like Jesse James," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! A great CHER slow Rocker! I love the acoustic guitar arrangements in this one! Great song!) (7.) "Heart Of Stone (Remix)," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great CHER slow acoustic song! CHER'S angelic voice brings this song to LIFE! I love it!) (8.) "I Found Someone," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great CHER Rocker! CHER REALLY SINGS AND KICKS A*S IN THIS ONE! I love this song dearly!) (9.) "We All Sleep Alone," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! A beautiful slow CHER number! Listening to this song, you can't help but feel immersed into her spell and be hypnotized by her angelic voice! I love it!) (10.) "Bang Bang (New Version)," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! I LOVE THIS NEW VERSION! This song REALLY ROCKS! I love the musical arrangements in this one as well! This song kicks a*s! CHER sings this one with such raw power and emotion that she leaves you begging for more!) (11.) "Take Me Home," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great CHER number! This song was recorded during the glory days of Disco! In my opinion, CHER'S voice was made for this song and sound! I love this one dearly!) (12.) "Dark Lady," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This song is by far, ANOTHER ONE OF CHER'S GREATEST EVER! I love CHER'S blistering Lead Vocals in this one! This song is about the mystic life of a gypsy! I LOVE THIS ONE!) (13.) "Half-Breed," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Another great CHER number! This song is ANOTHER ONE OF CHER'S GREATEST EVER! I LOVE THIS ONE! I love the musical arrangements in this one as well!) (14.) "The Way Of Love," (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! I LOVE THIS NUMBER! I love the orchestra music arrangements in this one! CHER'S beautiful angelic voice rises for the occasion in this one!) (15.) "Gypsys, Tramps And Thieves" (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! Breathtaking! Another great CHER Rocker! I love the musical arrangements in this song as well! This song is without a doubt, ONE OF CHER'S GREATEST SONGS EVER! I love it!) and (16.) "I Got You Babe (Sonny & Cher)." (Outstanding! Brilliant! Superb! This collection would not be complete without CHER'S TRADEMARK SONG WITH THE MAN THAT DISCOVERED HER, Sonny Bono! I love this song so dearly! You can actually feel their love for each other in this legendary song!) Two songs deserve to be honorably mentioned and added to this collection, "Believe" and "Strong Enough" from 1998. These two songs also define why CHER is one of the greatest female performers and entertainers of ALL-TIME! Overall, this is one hell of a great compilation album! Every single song track in this compilation album is nothing less than outstanding and brilliant!

As you can see, this is definitely a great treasure album worth purchasing that he or she should definitely own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This priceless gem will definitely be around to be enjoyed and cherished for many more years to come, NOW AND FOREVER!

In closing, The Legend of CHER has continued to grow and entertain us to this very day! What I will ALWAYS REMEMBER about Sonny and Cher is their charisma! They were BOTH very EXTREMELY charismatic individuals! Nothing would be more evident then Sonny and Cher's last public appearance and brief historic reunion on The David Letterman Show in the late 80's! For one last time and for a brief moment, they were Sonny and Cher once again! Believe it or not, I actually cried when I saw that performance! It was great seeing them sing "I Got You Babe," the song that gave Sonny and Cher their existence and had so much power and meaning for them both! Sadly, We would all lose Sonny Bono in a fatal sking accident on 5 January 1998 in the Reno, Nevada mountains! Cher's Eulogy speech at his funeral pretty much says it all! At the same time, CHER would release her RETURN album (I NEVER USE COMEBACK IN REFERENCE TO HER!) "BELIEVE" in 1998! This album singlehandedly made CHER a force to be reckened with in the 90's and that she is here to stay! I will always love CHER! Here's to you CHER! Keep persevering! R.I.P. Sonny Bono 1935-1998. Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. CHER RULES! SONNY BONO LIVES! Long Live Rock n' Roll! Rock out always and take care. Forever in Rock, J.L.

Missing Song.......2006-10-07

The song listing is missing song #1 on the CD. It is called "DON'T COME CRYIN' TO ME", and this is the only CD you can get it on. I attempted to get the song list for this CD corrected thru Amazon, but there is no avenue to have this done. Modern technology for you!!

Cher's great.......2006-08-14

This is what I turn on all the way to work and on the way home. Great music!!!

YOUR FAIR CHER.......2005-10-18

If anyone ever needed a collection spanning all phases of her long career, it has to be the Dark Lady herself, who's made more "comebacks" than Shirley MacLaine...and Cher's are actually "on record". Hear the husky voiced quick-change artist in her role as: Sonny's Queen ("I Got You Babe", natch), Tall Tale Telling Queen ("Half Breed", "Dark Lady", the untouchable "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves"), Disco Queen ("Take Me Home"), and Late 80's Comeback Queen ("Just Like Jesse James", the aptly titled "If I Could Turn Back Time"). Thankfully omitted are Cher's Rock Queen phase (Oh?...Missed that one?) and Electro-Dance Queen phase (Next time, leave the synthesized vocals and canned backbeat to Britney; you're above it, darling). It woulda been nice if a few more "Sonny and..." chestnuts had been favored over such dreck as a Bon Jovi-assisted remake of her own "Bang Bang", and lyrics should have been included (ever notice Cher's mumbly-mouthed delivery is just a tad hard to understand sometimes?). But heck, it just wouldn't be Cher if she didn't need a little "overhauling". Now HERE'S an idea! How 'bout the WORST of Cher, featuring her duets with Gregg Allman and Meat Loaf, her early "I Love You Ringo" single, recorded as Bonnie Jo Mason, her work as leader of rock act Black Rose...PLEASE!! Somebody STOP me before I mention her post-"Believe" rehashes!!!

As a singer, Cher's a terrific actress. With her suspect pitch and piercing tone, she gives the impression that she couldn't carry a tune if it were tattooed to her butt. Still, she's revived her musical career almost as often as Sinatra did his, scoring 18 Top 10 hits since her mid-'60s days with Sonny Bono. The retrospective If I Could Turn Back Time arrives in the wake of Cher's No. 1 single "Believe." True to its title, it walks through her early-'90s to late-'80s power-ballad period ("Just Like Jesse James," "We All Sleep Alone") to her 1979 disco hit "Take Me Home," the tragicomic concoctions "Half Breed" and "Gypsys, Tramps, and Thieves" and, finally, the original "I Got You Babe." One almost dreads asking: Can a box set be far behind? --Rickey Wright

Fantastic.......2001-09-28

I own this CD and play it all the time. Cher has so much energy and I love to here her sing. Higly recommended.

I Love Cher's Voice.......2000-04-04

This CD is awesome. I love to sing her songs out loud. Not only is her voice powerful and distinctive, the songs are catchy and fun. "I Found Someone" is my favorite on this collection. Cher has such a cool personality, I'm excited about future albums

If I Could Turn Back Time.......2000-03-21

This has got to be one of Cher's finest Cds. No matter how bad you feel, if you listen to this CD you will feel better. Her voice and passion when she sings is incredible.

"Cher" All through the years.......2000-02-03

I remember watching the Sonny and Cher Show as a child growing up in Buffalo, New York. All through the years, Cher has never lost her voice, her looks or her belief's. Not many of us have the courage to continue on the way Cher does. Her music is wonderful and inspiring.

LOVE THIS SONG.......2005-11-03

I had to call the radio station to find out who the artist was on this song. I'm not an R Kelly fan per se, but this song is so beautiful, I had to know who sang it. I love it!!

When you burn in Hell - THIS will be playing........2005-08-04

Everyone's favourite comedy kiddie-fiddler really pulled out all the stops on this single. This could well be the worst song ever written, a shameless rip-off of Unchained Melody, you wonder if maybe Kelly is taking the p**s, because it's SO bad, so cringe-worthy, you're half expecting it to turn up on the sequel to Team America.

But, no. He's being serious, and for every "Ooooooh" garbled sound effect he gives, every meaningful look he gives to the camera in the vomit-inducing video, you just know he's thinking "man, I gotta score me some jail-bait tonight".

Awful, awful, awful. Burn every copy you see.

Very nice song!!!.......2003-01-20

I don't remember when I first heard this song, but I do remember the time when it happened. I had just left my 4 month girlfriend to go live in another state with my parents...I really had no control of the separation.
Well, back to the song...I'd say it's a really smooth, uplifting & could say, sad song. Makes you think about a lot of things when it refers to your significant other.
I bought the cd right away and listened to it for hours.
I do recommend it if you like R Kelly and if you are into "slow jams" and R&B.
