The gorgeous blonde guy who gets fairly 'friendly' w/ Cher in this routine is the late great Peter Tramm. HE is what made the original "Footloose" a hit. I am really missing him lately, and what a gem to find in my online searching. RIP Peter, it's been such a long time.
She was so ahead of her time with her sexuality. Can't believe the Tonight show allowed her to do that but I guess it was ok since Carson wasn't hosting. I can understand why Cher didn't like him, he could be a real d**k. Anyone know where I can see her interview?!?!
I see now that Lady Gaga aint doing nuthin new. CHer is the original queen of outrageous shows on stage when it comes to choreography, outfits and and hot crazy presentations
@kingnando Yes. It's already on youtube. Also notice how at 2:47 when she spins to grab the mike, and then the shoulder move at 3:03 and the dancers being all in line and Cher dancing her way from one to the other is exactly Madonna's Hung Up choreography during the song's bridge! What a shame!
@86am I'm not crazy then! Or seeing Cher everywhere. Cher has done it all before so we shouldn't be surprised! Did you see Judas? What is the girl on the left wearing at 1:51? A freaking CHER shirt!
So provacative! I can't even believe this was aired on national t.v. in 1981. She was nothing short of amazing in her day. To this day there hasn't been anyone else with her style & talent.
Love this. I remember watching it the night it aired. Cher was never on the Tonight Show with Carson. only with guest hosts because she had a grudge against Johnny and he had one against her. She told Letterman Johnny kicked her and a friend out of his house at a party. Johnny could hold a grudge. Just ask Joan Rivers who happened to be the host on this night when Cher appeared.
The guy singing is Warren Ham. He sang and played sax, keyboard and an incredible harmonica in a group called AD back in the early to mid 80's. He's a VERY talented guy who does this kind of work with many other well known artists.
the band sucked on that tv show when i saw this in vegas live it was fantastic and amazing this number seemed very ill timed and Cher looked and acted if it wasnt going that well...she was right.
Hi - I'm not sure of his name, but he was a dancer on the A Hot Summer Night... with Donna Summer video concert in 1983 - he dances a duet with Donna during Last Dance... if that helps!
I can't find a cast list for the Donna Concert video - but her also looks like Peter Tramm - LA dancer who was the Footloose dance double (also in "Beat It" video with dark hair).
Donna's dancers, male: Jamil Taylor, Smith Osbourne, Peter Tram. (one "m")Peter must be the blond. I used to think it was an early Val Kilmer - the two do look similar. I wonder where Peter is now?
Thanks to Google, I just answered my own question - Peter (listed as "Tramm"- I guess the credit list on Donna's VHS is wrong) died of AIDS a week before Freddie Mercury in 1991. Here's a quote: American rock queen Cher, whose backing group dancer Peter Tramm died from AIDS last week said: "Oh my God. I'm devastated. It's such a huge shock."
@leftatalbuquerque I just read an old interview with Cher when she talked about AIDS, and the fact that all her old male dancers, from her old Vegas shows, died of it. Back then of course very few people knew anything about AIDS and how you got it.
Donna's dancers, male: Jamil Taylor, Smith Osbourne, Peter Tram. (one "m")Peter must be the blond. I used to think it was an early Val Kilmer - the two do look similar. I wonder where Peter is now?
What is that blonde's name again? I forget I know she was in Cher's tour at that time, then she went on to be a SOLID GOLD dancer. That guy can sing boy I tell ya woo.
OMG!!! this is the sexiest number ive seen from cher!!!!sexy INDEED!!!! LOVED THE ENDING when she ties up the girls to the heel and the guys slide INTO HER!!!!!OMG!!!!!!!!FREAKING SEXY AND SEXUAL!!!!!
you know- I actually think it was like the eagles and they sung it from a different perspective- she re did it, amazingly i might add, but I dont think she produced it on an album. :)
Cher was so ahead of her time....the Britney, JLo AND Madonna of her day...this is amazing footage and an amazing performance. She should re-produce this for her new Vegas show...could she still do this at her age now?
THIS is the Cher I LOVE!!! Far out one of the most sexiest performances I've ever seen of Cher. I wish she would do these amazing Eagles songs again now in her new Vegas show!
That's not correct. This was on the Tonight Show hosted by Joan Rivers. She sang this song then visited with Joan before singing Take it to the Limit. She also did this number on her Caesars Palace concert.
@banchl absolutely correct, banchi. I saw this when it originally aired. I only watched the show when Joan hosted. She said publicly that she booked guests that a 'younger' audience would tune in to watch.
You could tell by the applause she kicked ass, I remember watching this on TV the night it was actually on with my mom who was dying of cancer at the time...
Thanks so much for posting this amazing video! Cher has always been and always will be my #1 singer/actress. She's so talented, entertainer in true sense of word. Unlike others (only "pretty faces" that can't act/sing), she can actually act, sing and put on a show. Cher, you rock!! :-)
Don't get me wrong, as my screen name implies I love Cher and but every time I hear this song I think "This is such a foot-fetish song." XD

Npt by the audience's reaction I don't think so...she took the house down regardless of errors she knew were there.
