Oh. My. Gawd. I can't imagine anyone on any 10@10 has played this ever. BOS3 Cher, The Way of Love.

indeed, it's an ATBB (tho' it was on Casey's '72  chart last week). I requested it on FB, never expecting that AL would take me up on it.

HM for Jimmy Cliff encouraging us to get it.  This was also an LSJUMB song, first heard by me on tape.

BOS7 Jimmy Cliff.

and urth, "Way of Love" was written by Jacques Dieval and Al Stillman  -- orig in French; it was a hit for Kathy Kirby in the '60s ('LNG plays that version semi-regularly).

I was going to settle for a VHM for Jimmy C., until I saw that this is quite surprisingly a Db bustout.  So one more BOS.

ETA: Is this a Paul Williams composition?

Nope, Jack Dieval & Al Stillman.

But! I discovered that Cher released this song on an album in '71 (Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves) and again on another one in '73 (Half Breed) as well as *two* greatest hits albums that came out in '72 and '74 (both on MCA). So Dieval and Stillman must have been just rakin' in the royalties during those years.

ETA: Scratch Half-Breed, at least on the original release. Digging deeper it appears it was a bonus track on a latter-day rerelease, but not when it originally came out. However it was on two different best-ofs released two years apart. Weird.

Funny that AMG has anglicized Dieval's name to "Jack."

MCA put out many many crappy Cher re-packages over the years. None of which had everything; you were always missing a single or 2. The best package is this 2-disc set that I bought a few years back:
