Chér (eventually reissued under the title Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves) is the self-titled seventh studio album by American singer-actress Cher, released in September 1971 by Kapp Records.

Two singles were released from the album, "The Way of Love" and "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves", both reaching the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

[1][4] The album was initially released under the name of Chér in September, and later re-released and retitled as Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves due to the success of the first single.

Its success followed the debut of The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, which premiered on CBS in August 1971 as a summer series.

"Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" was her first number one in the US as a solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; it also reached #1 in Canada and Japan.

He also wrote that "Cher never minded androgynous or neutral gender identity in her songs" and musically "her solo material could soar to heights not possible in a partnership — "The Way of Love" being one example".

[6] Rolling Stone's contemporary review said that "Cher does possess one of the distinctive voices in popular music today" and about the album, "Here she gets some lush orchestral frameworks within which to tell her story".

[2] The album became one of Cher's biggest hits at the time and the lead single was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Pop Female Vocalist".
