Subtitled The All-Time Great Love Songs, this collection promotes the idea of Cher as torch ballad singer, a notion not as far-fetched as one would imagine. Taken from five different albums recorded during her '70s stay at the MCA and Kapp labels, "Blue" states a strong case for the lung power of Cher's vocal range, as well as her taste for challenging and off-the-beaten-path material. Her "Bittersweet White Light" album from 1973 (her first with a full orchestra) is here in its entirety, along with selections from "Foxy Lady", "Dark Lady", "Half Breed" and "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves", all from Sonny & Cher's second wave of popularity and many featuring Sonny Bono at the production helm.
