I GOT YOU, BABE

Annie Zaleski

A Celebration of Cher

Covering her life and sixty-year career from Sonny & Cher to show-stopping solo performer, award-winning actress, fashion icon, and beyond, this is a glorious retrospective of one of the world's most enduring entertainers, Cher. Featuring a foreword by Cyndi Lauper!
Commemorating six decades since her first #1 hit in 1965, I Got You Babe captures Cher's one-of-a- kind life. How many artists can claim to have had a Billboard number-one-single in six consecutive decades; had Andy Warhol interview her in bed; fought off a mugger in New York City with Meryl Streep; and argued time travel with Stephen Hawking? No one but Cherone of the best-selling and most awarded entertainers of all time.

Written by award-winning writer and editor Annie Zaleski, this celebration of the fearless, down-to- earth "Goddess of Pop" explores key moments in her life and career in words and photos. Amidst these moments are photo after photo of some of the most eye-popping outfits ever worn in life and on stage. As an avid clothes horse who wasn't afraid to wear a see-through dress to the Met Gala in 1974, Cher's many looks will be given their due in this engaging, career-spanning retrospective.

Annie Zaleski is an award-winning writer and editor who's contributed to NPR Music, Salon, Rolling Stone, and The Guardian. She's also the author of multiple books, including an extensive look at Duran Duran's Rio for Bloomsbury's prestigious 33 1/3 series, and biographies of pop stars Lady Gaga and P!nk. She interviewed Cher ahead of her 2016 Las Vegas residency and praised the icon in a career- spanning 2021 Salon piece; additionally, she wrote about the intriguing backstory of Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" in Running Press's forthcoming book We Found Love, Song by Song.
