With Love, Chér is the fourth studio album by American singer-actressCher, released on October 23, 1967, byImperial Records. The album reached number 47 on the USBillboard albums chart.
With Love, Chér was released in 1967, was produced bySonny Bono and was issued by the Liberty Records subsidiary,Imperial Records.[2]
Once again the formula of cover songs and a new song written by Bono exclusively for Cher is used. On these tracks her voice is smooth and strong, but the sales failed to match the success of previous albums.
Four singles were released from the album: the cover "Behind The Door" and "Hey Joe" and two songs written by Bono, "Mama (When My Dollies Have Babies)" and her last big hit of the decade "You Better Sit Down Kids".[2][3]
The album contains covers of "The Times They Are A-Changin", "Hey Joe" and "I Will Wait for You" (the soundtrack ofThe Umbrellas of Cherbourg).
In this same year Cher recorded "Bambini Miei Cari (Sedetevi Attorno)", the Italian version of "You Better Sit Down Kids", and "Mama", the Italian version of "Mama (When My Dollies Have Babies)". Both were released as singles and "Mama" was later covered byFrench singerDalida.
In 2005, this album and Cher's previous albumChér were reissued on one CD calledChér/With Love which featured all the tracks from both.[2]
