Cher is a river in central France, tributary to the river Loire. Its source is in the département Creuse, north-east of Crocq. It flows through the départements Creuse, Allier, Cher, Loir-et-Cher and Indre-et-Loire. It flows through the cities Montluçon, Saint-Amand-Montrond, Vierzon and Tours. It joins the river Loire in Villandry, west of Tours. Tributaries of the river Cher are the rivers Sauldre and Yèvre.
The river suffered a devastating flood in 1940, which damaged Chateau de Chenonceau and other structures along the banks.
Cher has had three careers that place her indelibly in the public consciousness, and two have been in association with her then-husband, composer/producer/singer Salvatore "Sonny" Bono (February 16, 1935-January 8, 1998).
Cher's solo career ended up slightly overshadowed by her work with Sonny & Cher, but at the time she was fully competitive on her own terms -- her first LP reached the Billboard Top 20 and was on the albums charts for six months.
Cher's solo career at Imperial, which had created some political problems for the couple at Atlantic, ended with the lapsing of her contract in 1967, and she moved to Atlantic.
