Discover the story of the song > Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves – Cher

"Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" is a popular song by American singer and actress Cher, released in 1971 as the first single from her seventh studio album, Cher. It was produced by Snuff Garrett and written by Bob Stone. After a series of unsuccessful attempts to revive Cher's career by Sonny Bono, the record company hired Garrett as producer and Stone to write a song specifically for an adult audience. The song tells the story of a young girl from a homeless community who faces discrimination and prejudice, but finds comfort in her music and traditions. With its catchy melody and powerful voice, "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" became a huge hit and established Cher as a solo artist. It remains one of her most memorable and beloved songs to this day.
