THE #1 SONG 40 YEARS AGO TODAY WAS....

.....Half-Breed by Cher!! Yes!!! 40 f**king years ago, Cher was already having #1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. Having just released her latest album, Closer to the Truth, Cher has been around long enough that she taught Jesus to twerk. Back in 1973 she hit the top of the charts for the second time (first was Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves) with this ode to being mixed raced, Cher is half white and half Cherokee Indian and faces all the problems that go with it. I don't know if you could get away with using the term "Indian squaw" in a pop song these days, but it was simpler times back then. Of course, Half-Breed is a classic and a staple in Cher's cannon of hits. She performs it every chance she gets and we love it every freakin' time!!! Here is the legendary Cher, looking AMAZING, in a classic performance singing her 1973 #1 hit, Half-Breed.
