WEBVTT - CHER: "Christmas"

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Have the temperatures outside where you live cooled enough to

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>tempt you to build a fire in the fireplace, put

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>on some fuzzy slippers, brew up a steaming cup of

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>hot cocoa or soothing big a low t If not,

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll be there soon. The rain. Who The rain is

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>starting to come down with regularity. Where I live, the

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>wind has been howling. Pumpkins are popping up on stoops

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and porches. While their carved faces are meant to be menacing,

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing spooky about this time of year for me.

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I just love autumn. I love the leaves, I love

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>walking through them. I love riding my horses when the

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>leaves are falling. One of the best things about this

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>time of year is the abundance of new holiday music

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that is dropping. October is traditionally the month that artists

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>revealed their projects they've been working hard on, and this

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>year will not disappoint. Maybe you caught wind of a

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>quick visit I made to Los Angeles last month. Maybe

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>you saw me sharing hints on social media. Malibu Beach,

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>to be precise. While I wasn't able to share much

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>about it at that time, I can now the seasonless

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 1>national treasure that is, Share invited me and a handful

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 1>of other folks in the music industry to get together

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to listen to her new Christmas album. So that we did.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>We gathered, We sipped on sparkling water, we nibbled on

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>delicious little tidbits, and we waited in breathless anticipation at

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>her home. And then the music began. Oh Oh, my

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.559
<v Speaker 1>heart's how I love Christmas at any time of year.

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>And hearing Cher's powerful voice belting out our old favorites

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and exciting news soon to be favorites since shivers up

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and down my spine even on a warm evening in September.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>It was a very merry, very bright, and hooray, a

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 1>very rock and roll holiday album. It includes thirteen songs,

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 1>many of them holiday classics, and four new original songs

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.119
<v Speaker 1>written by Sarah Hudson and her team, who I got

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>to meet, I got to hang out with, I fell

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>in love with them all. It also has a star

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:48.600

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Michael Boublaiz, Cyndi Laupper, and Tiga. It was the most magical,

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>amazing evening I had to pinch myself before, during, and

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>after to make sure I wasn't dreaming the whole thing.

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.880

<v Speaker 1>around the world. Mercy Ships has been transforming lives for

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>over forty years. Many people in our world have no

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 1>access to healthcare, and as a result, they must endure

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>pain and suffering. But with the support of volunteers and donors,

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Mercy Ships can go to these communities and perform free surgeries.

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Surgeries that help mothers see their babies for the first time,

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 1>surgeries that allow little boys and girls to run and play.

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.839

<v Speaker 1>Four year old Amato from southern Senegal was the first

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 1>to receive surgery on the Global Mercy. Born with one

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>windswept leg and one bowed leg, he missed out on

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>so many things kids love, But thanks to the treatment

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.520

<v Speaker 1>as like she remembers, there's a person here. I love that.

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 2>It's so weird. I mean, I don't know. I wasn't

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 2>thinking it when I was doing it. I just thought

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 2>about it. I thought, oh my god, I'm gonna say

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.480

<v Speaker 1>got to say thank you for inviting me to your

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>listening party.

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>It was fun. It was fun, right, it was fun.

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>And your patio, your little thing is so beautiful, and

<v Speaker 1>you're so beautiful and you look so happy with your honey.

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.599
<v Speaker 1>And I was just like my sister and I both

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>kept pinching ourselves, going, oh my god, aren't we really

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>in shares place? And then when the music started. When

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the music started, because they had given me little snippets

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.599
<v Speaker 1>of a few of the songs, but when we got

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to listen together, you know, to the whole album. It

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 1>was wonderful. Thank you.

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of a bunch of songs that you think

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't go together, but they do.

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>They do. So why why now? Why a Christmas song?

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>After all these years of you've done sappy love songs,

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you've done dance songs, you've done dance songs about love,

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>You've done love songs that you can dance to, and

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>now we've got a Christmas album and some of them

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you can dance to.

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I never wanted to do one because

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I could never. I never felt like I could pupture

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 2>what I wanted, and I wasn't even and because I

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't know what I wanted. But then I thought, if

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I could just pick the songs myself, that I would

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 2>have a chance. I would pick songs that I loved

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 2>and maybe pick songs that people don't know. And then

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Sarah they came up with, you know, drop Top and

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Angels in the Snow and DJ and not all at

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 2>one time. I mean she they actually wrote one of

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 2>the songs, dropped Top sleigh Ride, because I said to Sarah,

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I want you to take some kids stuff and make

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 2>it grown up, and she did, I mean so, and

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 2>then I just started like I found Chuck Berry's song,

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, Run Run, Rudolph So. And also I got

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 2>a chance to sing all the kinds of music that

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I loved.

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, come on, I got to meet your friend

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Darlene Love, and she told me the story of when

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.839
<v Speaker 1>when you sang that with her and you were a teenager.

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, I sang background on it when I was

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 2>a teenager, but I was in the studio when she

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>did it when she's actually sang it, and we all knew,

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, I've been in the studio a couple of

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:03.439
<v Speaker 2>times when everybody in the room just nose and nobody

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>was breathing. And then it was done and the only

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 2>thing that happened was that Fanita had just bent over

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and hit her in the knee, and then we were

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 2>all just amazed. It's just an amazing feeling, an amazing

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 2>moment when you hear a song like that.

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, she shared a wonderful story with me, and she said,

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>when they had you singing the background the backup, somebody said,

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>well you need to back up a little bit. You

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>need to back up a little bit because your voice

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>was so beautiful and powerful and strong, and she said,

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I knew at that moment she had it talking about you.

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:51.199
<v Speaker 1>I know that she knew that you had this powerhouse

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>inside of you.

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Well that's pretty good talking from a powerhouse. But it

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.680
<v Speaker 2>was Philip. It was phil Spector, and he kept saying,

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 2>could you just back up? Could you just back up?

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.599
<v Speaker 2>And Darling once said, if she backs up and emmosals

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:05.719
<v Speaker 2>being studio.

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Be ah, that is wonderful. And now you got to

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>sing it with her on your first Christmas album and

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>we are blessed to be able to listen to it.

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just excited because I got to be honest

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>with you. Sometimes I get kind of bored. I mean,

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing Christmas music how many months out of

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the year, two months, three months out of the year

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.439
<v Speaker 1>for my entire career, and you can only hear holly

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Jolly Christmas so many times.

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I know That's why I didn't do it, because I

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 2>just didn't. I couldn't fit it in. I just couldn't

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>fit it in. And even though there have been great

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Christmas albums, I just this kind of sound a little

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 2>bit ridiculous. But I just wanted to do a share

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Christmas album and I didn't really know what it was.

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't really find it. And then I just share.

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:06.880

<v Speaker 1>did you find Sarah? The young lady and her gang

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 1>that wrote the original music? How did you find her?

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I've known Sarah since she was four years old, and

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I think that she brought or someone at the company,

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>the record company was talking to her and then she went,

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, okay, share of course, of course, and

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 2>then we started talking about when she was little, and

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, and we just were it was just like

0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 2>no time had gone past. And then she wrote the

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 2>other two with her crew.

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>She is a breath of fresh air. I so enjoyed

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.199
<v Speaker 1>talking to her and the young men that helped her

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>collaborate on the new stuff that you did, which is

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 1>fresh and fun and holiday and love and joy all

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>wrapped up that you can dance to.

0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Also you can just be happy to it too.

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we need that, we need that.

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yes, and yes, but it's it's joyous. I

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know. It just turned out that the songs that

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I picked independently became joyous as a group.

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>When I was there at your house and I was

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 1>listening and the song came on because you do duets

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>with Stevie Wonder and Tiger and You, Darlene.

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 2>And simply and Michael Boblay.

0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Michael Buble came on and he's I love him, and

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>so I texted him, I said, oh mg, and I

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>shot a little video. I said, I'm at Shar's house

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>listening to you sing with her. And then he sent

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>me a video back as he was at home with

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the kids, and oh my god, it's so beautiful.

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I know, it's we only have kind of two sad songs,

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 2>and it's by far the saddest. All my girlfriends cried

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 2>when they heard it. But it's great and he's really special.

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't know him. But then Cindy. Cindy came

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 2>on board right away, right away, so I got all

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 2>these people. And the truth is, I don't think I

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 2>ever had anybody on any one of my records.

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Seriously, this is new, all these all this love mashing

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>up together.

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I didn't think of it. I thought of

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 2>it with Stevie because when I tried to sing a song,

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>it just didn't work, you know. And I called him

0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 2>and said, Stevie, I think I've done a good job

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 2>on a lot of it, but there are some parts

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 2>that are just you and I can't do it, and

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I need you to come and do it.

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>And he, of course was thrilled to do that.

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, he just said, okay, it was too easy, and

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 2>then he said at the end, do you want me

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 2>to play my harmonica? And I was like, oh my god, yes,

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I do.

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, it is a wonderful, fun album. I'm honored to

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.200

<v Speaker 1>not want to go give you a hug with food on.

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.480

<v Speaker 1>in the car, I wear it.

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not that bad, but yeah, I have to

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.040
<v Speaker 2>be kind of careful because also I'm very big with

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.919
<v Speaker 1>This album is such a gift, and like all the

<v Speaker 1>best presents, it's when you can give to yourself just

0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.960
<v Speaker 1>as easily as you can share it with others. Thirteen

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:52.680
<v Speaker 1>amazing Christmas songs from Chaer, our goddess of pop who

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:57.720
<v Speaker 1>has been aweing and delighting us for nearly six decades

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>now and showing no signs of slow down. She is

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the world's best selling music artists, with over

0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 1>one hundred million in record sales. Her achievements include a

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Grammy and Emmy and Oscar, three Golden Globes, a cons

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Film Festival Award, and the Billboard Icon Award. She is

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the only artist to date to have a number one

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:25.359
<v Speaker 1>single on a Billboard chart for six consecutive decades, starting

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.440
<v Speaker 1>in the sixties, go into the twenty tens. I think

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.200
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be adding the twenty twenties to that list.

0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I believe we Are Christmas is available everywhere right now,

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 1>so don't waste any time before adding it to your

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.959
<v Speaker 1>holiday playlist. I'm pretty sure I can help her with

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the request of DJ play a Christmas song. I will

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.199
<v Speaker 1>be that DJ, as will many others. Go to Christmas

0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:02.439
<v Speaker 1>the craziness in the world have you feeling a little glum,

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Christmas music, especially Christmas music sung by Sharon her Friends,

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.640
<v Speaker 1>is the antidote. Spending time with me in the evenings

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 1>is another proven way to lift your spirits and mine.

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Do spend some time while the sun is up paying

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.320
<v Speaker 1>attention to all the good things that are happening around us.

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:25.680
<v Speaker 1>The colorful leaves, the busy squirrels, all manners of mushrooms

0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 1>popping up in fields and gardens and forests. It is

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a fairy land out there. Enjoy the sights and sounds

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and senses that autumn delivers. Then curl up with a

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:41.159
<v Speaker 1>cup of tea and tune in to my radio program.

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I love spending time with you.
