CHER. She recorded it for the soundtrack of her movie Mermaids, and it quickly became a huge hit—in fact it was Cher’s first SOLO hit since she’d split with Sonny. It topped the charts all over the world, and it’s OBVIOUS WHY: IT’S CHER! Not much has changed in the arrangement since the original; it’s just a GREAT SONG, and CHER IS A GODDESS. The perfect combination!
CHER is a goddess, yes! However, “The Shoop, Shoop Song (It’s In His Kiss)”, was NOT her first hit after divorcing Sonny.
Though not a chart-topper, her first dance hit, “Take Me Home” was a hit, but the resurgence of CHER as a solo artist (post Sonny), began with “I Found Someone”, then ALL of the charted hits off of “Heart of Stone”, including “If I Could Turn Back Time”, “Just Like Jesse James”, “Heart of Stone” and her duet with Peter Cetera, “After All”, from the Cybil Shepherd film, “Chances Are”…
