"Dark Lady" is also the title of a 1974 number one pop hit by Cher which falls into the story song category. It was Cher's third number one solo hit after 1971's "Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves" and 1973's "Half-Breed," and her last until "Believe" a quarter-century later. The "Dark Lady" of the song's title is a fortune teller. The narrator of the song learns that her lover has been unfaithful to her with, as the fortune teller says, "someone else who is very close to you." The narrator returns home in a state of shock and then realizes that she had once smelled, in her own room, the perfume the fortune teller had been wearing. She races back to the fortune teller's place with a gun and catches her lover and the fortune teller in a romantic act, and shoots them both to death in a fit of rage. 1974 (MCMLXXIV) was a common year starting on Tuesday (the link is to a full 1974 calendar). ...
