Cher – Gypsys Tramps And Thieves

“Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves” – Single by Cherfrom the album Chér, released September 1, 1971.

“Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves” was the first single from Chér with instrumental backing by L.A session musicians from the Wrecking Crew. The album was subsequently renamed and re-released as Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves after the success of the single. The song was written by songwriter Bob Stone as a story-song called “Gypsys, Tramps and White Trash”. Producer Snuff Garrett advised that the title be changed and Stone then changed it to “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves”. The album of the same name got very positive reviews.

The video for “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves” was Cher’s first music video. The video was a recorded performance of the song on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour in 1971. Throughout the video Cher is singing in front of a house wagon and in front of a fire. A second video was made, but it was very similar to the original. In the second video, clips of dancing female gypsies were shown.
