Recorded between 1965 & 2002. Includes liner notes by Kurt Loder.
The word "diva" has been thrown around a great deal in the pop world since the '90s, but Cherilyn Sarkasian, better known as Cher, was one of the original pop divas. As such, she's not only survived but prospered through the ever-changing winds of music trends. THE VERY BEST OF CHER covers all the stylistically varied phases of Cher's career. The tracks run in roughly reverse chronological order, kicking off with her massive '90s dance pop hit "Believe." Along the way, there are stops at '80s power balladry ("If I Could Turn Back Time"), late-'70s disco ("Take Me Home"), early-'70s AM pop ("Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," "Half Breed"), and of course, the '60s folk/rock/pop hits she recorded as half of Sonny & Cher ("I Got You Babe," "The Beat Goes On"). As a thumbnail sketch of a career spanning four decades and countless twists and turns, VERY BEST OF CHER hits its target dead on.
Displaying an uncanny knack for revival, Cher has arisen from her requisite humble origins as Cherilyn Sarkisian and managed to sustain an astounding level of fame over four decades. This two-disc set, bringing together her extremely popular VERY BEST OF... and her 2002 swansong live album, could easily be said to be the definitive collection of the indomitable superstar with the trademark darkly gilded voice.
Throughout her career, Cher has shown a remarkable ability to adapt to the times. Starting off with her bubble-gum musical marriage to Sonny Bono, she remained around the top of the chart until the singer/songwriter days of the early-1970s, offered perfectly overwrought pop in the late-'80s, and returned with pulsating dance-pop at the turn of the century. The VERY BEST OF... side covers the studio version of pretty much every hit a Cher enthusiast or hobbyist might desire, including the Sonny & Cher days and a movie duet with Peter Cetera, along with usual #1 favorites, from "Gypsy, Tramps & Thieves" to "Believe." The LIVE side stands as a must, since along with possessing two of the more powerful lungs in the Western Hemisphere, Cher has lived her life on the screen, from the variety show to the awards-show appearances to a movie career which garnered her an Oscar.

The Blue Ridge Mountains surrounding Charlottesville, Virginia have given the world many inspiring musicians, including The Dave Matthews Band, Bruce Hornsby, Phil Vassar and The Statler Brother were all raised in these Shenandoah shadows. Now, with Todd Sansom, the mountains have done it again.His musical journey began there, with piano lessons at age four. By age nine, frustrated by the discipline of reading sheet music, and blessed with a musical ear that allowed him to play a song only after hearing it once, Todd abandoned traditional music lessons and simply turned on the radio. In other words, Todd was already hearing a different tune.By the time he was fifteen, Country music had Todd's full attention. He was playing keyboard and fronting well known country and southern rock bands in shows throughout Virginia, rocking dancehalls before he was old enough to drive. "I was playing with solid musicians who were twice my age," he says. "it was a situation that demanded I get good...fast. You can't beat that."Actually, Todd knew you could, you just had to move to Nashville to do it. He enrolled at Belmont University in the fall of 1996, and majored in vocal performance. "I didn't want to major in something I might fall back on, I wanted to use college as an opportunity to become the very best I could be at what I do." He goes on, "a basketball coach once told me that every moment you are not working to improve yourself, someone out there is getting better than you. I guess I took that to heart. I'm competitive, and I'm willing to work to be the best." His approach paid off when he was selected to represent the university in two prestigious showcases. "The country music showcase" and the "Best of - School of Music Showcase".They were noticing Todd outside the walls of Belmont as well. Music Row Magazine and renowned industry critic, Robert Oermann honored Todd ...
