Mini-relationship
When Cher talked about her relationship with Sonny, she had been dating David Geffen, a record executive, for two years. Even though they eventually broke up, it was Geffen who helped Cher stand up on her own two feet again. He got her out of her contract from Cher Enterprises, Sonny’s company, and also got her a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records, worth $2.5 million. Technically, Geffen gave Cher’s career a big boost at that time.

Cher’s comeback
Cher’s breakup with Sonny understandably hit her hard both personally and professionally. As she needed time to recover, she kept herself out of sight from the public. She lied low until 1979 when she made her comeback with a new disco style album entitle Take Me Home. She also got a residency show in Las Vegas from 1980 to 1982. Her earning per week at that time was at $300,000.
