RARE & LOST Cher Interviews - 1975-1986

Aloha,

From my collection to yours, here are some rare & lost Cher interviews I've come across and pulled out of my storage. 

Over the years, Cher never hid the fact that she had issues with Johnny Carson for attempting to have her thrown out of a party back in the day. Yet Cher did make appearances on "The Tonight Show" from time to time during the 70's & 80's. The appearances were always with a guest host, George Seagel 1975 / Rich Little 1979 / Martin Mull 1980 and during her appearances she was always a thrill to watch. 

In 1975, Just after her divorce from Sonny became final 6/27/1975, she married Gregg Allman three days later 6/30/1975 to the surprise of a nation, then within a week she made this,  another surprising guest appearance on The Tonight Show with Sonny! 

The other appearances on The Tonight Show was to promote "Take Me Home" album 1979, and "Prisoner"  1979/1980.

Also included on the first DVD , are two more interviews, one being the rarest and the other my favorite appearance that I had not seen in 20 + Years. The first one is  taped during Cher's first time at Caesars, an Australian interviewee for her future shows down under , she in her "Fame" outfit discussing life, her children and going to perform Down Under.

My favorite is the Premiere show of "The Late Show with Joan Rivers", Cher & Elton are guests and Cher is on the verge of peaking in her acting career, she never looked more beautiful, seemed more at peace with all that's around her and I only wish she and Elton could of done a whole concert!!

The Second DVD includes a rare appearance on "The Merv Griffin Show" promoting  "Take Me Home" in 1979, she performs several songs ( Take Me Home, Love & Pain & Too Far Gone) and has Elijah, Chasity and her mom & sister on with her as well as "The Hudson Brothers". Cher's very at ease with Merv and this is the best conversation / interview  of the bunch. This interview is an hour long, the old talk shows used to run for 1 1/2 hours back then! I remember when these shows originally aired, I missed them with the exception of "The Late Show", I'm so glad that someone had a VHS recorder way back even in 1975 to capture these appearances, so that we all can still enjoy them today!

Enjoy,

Mahalo,

Joseph
