Cher - "One By One"

I was an intern at the radio station when my boss (the station's Music Director and midday host) said that she wanted to play me a song.  She asked me to listen to the song and then tell me who I thought was singing.  I listened to the first verse and then shrugged my shoulders.  "It's Cher!" she exclaimed.  She admitted that she wasn't a fan of Cher, but that the song was an entirely different sound for her that she liked.  A few years later, Cher would capitalize on that new sound with "Believe"--one of the first commercial songs to introduce auto-tune.
