Cherilyn Sarkisian, dite Cher ([ ʃɛəɹ]), née le 20 mai 1946 à El Centro en Californie, est une chanteuse et actrice américaine. Elle commence sa carrière musicale en plein mouvement hippie en formant avec son mari Sonny Bono le duo Sonny and Cher. En passant du folk au disco puis du rock à la pop avant de surfer sur la vague dance, Cher connaît le succès. Elle connaît également une carrière au cinéma. Elle remporte un certain nombre de trophées dont le prix d’interprétation féminine à Cannes, plusieurs Golden Globes et l’Oscar de la meilleure actrice en 1988. Chanteuse populaire aux États-Unis, elle s’est imposée comme une icône de la mode dans les années 1970 et 1980, époque où ses tenues légères et sexy faisaient scandale. Cher est aussi reconnue comme une véritable show girl. Sa dernière tournée mondiale, le Living Proof – Farewell Tour (2002-2005), est entrée dans le Livre Guinness des records en tant que tournée la plus rémunératrice jamais effectuée par une artiste féminine. Cher est à ce jour la seule artiste ayant au moins un titre classé no 1 dans les charts, dans chaque décennie, depuis les années 1960 jusqu'aux années 2000 aux États-Unis. Elle a vendu environ 100 millions de disques dans le monde. Sa tessiture vocale est contralto.
