Cher and Sonny
Cher met Sonny Bono in 1962. At the time, he was working for music producer Phil Spector. Cher at the time wanted a shot at the spotlight and she knew that Spector could give her the ticket to the life she wanted. Cher immediately took her chance when Sonny asked her to become his housekeeper. She started first as a backup singer then rapidly rose up the musical rank. Spector eventually produced her first album, Ringo, I Love You, which unfortunately, was a flop.
