Finally! The single released on Amazon. com - Is it my imagination or has the tempo slowed somewhat? Perhaps to give it a shot at AC? No official remixes yet!

I never saw Cher and Aretha as being from the same generation, but the truth is that Cher is only 4 years younger so I would say they are. Aretha though released her first album like 9 years before Cher did.

Aretha though released her first album like 9 years before Cher did. They are definitely from the same music generation. Though Aretha started recording when she was a young teenager, she didn't really impact the popular charts with a hit single until 1967. The highest she had ever ranked before that was #37 with a cover of "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody" in 1961. It is when she switched to Atlantic Records and they figured out what to do with her, that she had a hit song with "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" in 1967. Of course, Aretha was already charting pretty highly on the R&B charts before that. She had three top 10 R&B hits in 1960-1961. After that, she didn't have another R&B hit for 3 years and nothing ranked higher than #18. However, her crossover and broader success did not happen until 1967. That is when Cher had a bit of a downturn in her career at the exact same time and didn't have another hit single until 1971 when she came back with "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" and the Sonny and Cher show, etc. Before 1967, Cher had already been placing songs in the top 10 for several years. She charted with: Sonny & Cher -I Got You Babe (1965 #1) -Baby Don't Go (1965 #8) -Laugh at Me (1966 #10) -The Beat Goes On (#5) Cher -Bang Bang (1966 - #2) -You Better Sit Down Kids (#9)

I just saw Mama Mia: Here We Go Again. Her acting wasn't anything special but it was so touching just seeing a legend comes alive. Along with Queen Elizabeth and Madonna, I hope she never dies. To think she has been in the industry for almost 60 years now is absolutely insane! I never saw Cher and Aretha as being from the same generation, but the truth is that Cher is only 4 years younger so I would say they are. Aretha though released her first album like 9 years before Cher did. I think that's because Cher has had hit singles, albums, tours, and films much more recent than the last original Aretha Franklin project. Sort of like how The Emancipation of Mimi made Mariah Carey not a 90s' star.

Both Cher and Aretha are icons out of the 1960's. Cher first entered the Billboard Bubbling Under Charts in 1964 and of course hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1965. Cher's currently on the charts around the world with Fernando and now Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie (A Man After Midnight). The thing about Cher is she releases new stuff and then promotes it as if she were a much younger artist. We know how hard it is in the USA for older women to get airplay but Cher still tries. We want to go see The Cher Show on Broadway in 2019 too! Somehow Cher is like the EverReady Bunny who just keeps on...

Cher was cute pretending she was unaware of the trainwreck that was Madonna Louise Ciccone. Haha.

BBC Radio has Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie (A Man After Midnight) in its main rotation. What is nice about many countries like the UK is they give a good song a chance. Ya, I know Cher is 72 but her song is fun and a good one. OK, I do not expect a smash here but at least these countries are giving Cher's new song a try. It is NOT like that in the USA. In the USA radio market, women decades younger than Cher get radio resistance. None of us in the USA expect any mainstream radio adds and in a way it is sicking. Anyway, nice to see radio is given Cher a shot in Europe and in other parts of the world.

Gimme Gimme Gimme was a big hit for ABBA in Europe. It was Top 3 all over Europe and never even charted in the US. In fact, ABBA was never as popular in America as they were in Europe. Their only #1 single in America was Dancing Queen and their highest charting album peaked at #14. Meanwhile, they were consistently topping the single and album charts around Europe and Latin America.

I like SOS better than Gimme Gimme Gimme. It feels more like a Cher song than a karaoke version.

That SOS cover is fantastic. The amped up instrumental and her vocal works so damn well. Can't wait for the album

I see Cher will be a recipient of the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC in 2019. The awards are to honor those who made great contributions to the arts. Aretha was a recipient of the honor. This is not a political award or event and the President and First Lady normally attend but nothing is normal with THIS White House so I doubt the Trumps will attend. Of course if they do, CHER is a long-time "enemy" of his and her Twitter feed is famous for her liberal Democratic anti-Trump views. Her Twitter feed is actually quite funny. Cher is actually slightly older than Trump but of course seems younger. The Obama's, Clinton's, Bush's and other past Presidents would always attend but not this one...
