Cher Heckled Hecklers Back

When Sonny and Cher’s records stopped selling in the late 1960s, they shifted into a lounge act, but the vibe went so flat that crowds started heckling them. Cher fired back at the hecklers instead of taking it quietly, and the back-and-forth actually turned into the best part of the show. That rough crowd energy reshaped their act and put them back on the radar. In 1971, it led to "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour" and a whole new peak of fame.
