The 1980 Listening Post - Black Rose - Black Rose

Black Rose - Black Rose 


August 21 1980

Black Rose

Black Rose

Genre: There’s no way any label would let this happen today

2.75 out of 5





This is Cher. 

It’s rock Cher. 

But Cher and her boyfriend, Les Dudek, didn’t want to use her name to launch their project (I’m guessing there’s some toxic male ego involved) and so Cher’s name isn’t on this and only her face is sort of seen on the back cover. 

What label head should have lost his/her job over this in 1980? 

You have one of the biggest names in music history and yoU AREN’T going to capitalize on that?!?!?

Ugh, George Carlin was right. He said that most people are stupid and half of them are stupider than you think.

What we ended up with though is a bad Bonnie Tyler album.
