Video Description:
This video is dedicated to Tamara....
Art photos of Cher from one of her lost albums from the 70's plus others, along with the song, "Knock On Wood" from her lost 1976 album, "I'd Rather Believe In You". By lost I mean it has never been released on CD. A little history about this album.
In 1976 Cher was married to Gregg Allman (she married him right after her divorce from Sonny Bono was final, on a weekend trip to Harrah's Las Vegas thanks to Bill Harrah's kind offer of a free plane trip. She would file for divorce from Gregg 11 days later and then recoinciled when she discovered her pregnancy) and doing the second Sonny and Cher show after asking Sonny to rejoin her as she was over wealmed doing her successful solo variety show CHER on CBS. Cher was VERY pregnant with her son Elijah Blue Allman during recording. The photos used on the album cover were actually taken for another of her lost Warner Brother's albums, Stars. Since she was so pregnant she did not wanna have her picture taken. So here she was doing a television variety show with her ex-husband, pregnant by her second husband and all of this was on television every week! Cher wore her revealing Bob Mackie gowns, sang, danced, and did comedy sketches. I remember one week she was so far along they had to put her in a bathtub
full of bubbles to hide her expanding tummy. Elijah Blue Allman was born on July 10, 1976. Elijah, also known by his stage name Phillip Exeter Blue I, is the half brother of Chastity Bono, Delilah Island Allman, and Devon Allman . He is the lead singer and guitarist for the rock band Deadsy which consists of Alec Pure on drums, Dr. Nner on synthesizer, Carlton Megalodon on Z-tar, and Jens Funke on bass. At the age of 13, he toured as a guitarist with Cher on her "Heart of Stone Tour"; he was given his first guitar by Kiss bassist Gene Simmons who Cher was dating at the time.. Deadsy released two albums: 2002's Commencement and Phantasmagore, which came out on August 22, 2006.
Elijah has said on MTV in interview on a program about children of famous rock musicians that, "I respect The Allman Brothers Band very much, but I've always been more into Black Sabbath, David Bowie, and Metallica."
It was announced in February 2007 that Elijah is working on a solo record.......
Cher raised Chastity and Elijah as a single mother....

This song was later recorded by Ami Stewart as a dance track and was a BIG hit. Wonder where Ami Stewart is now?
It's like thunder,
It's like lightening,
The way you love me is frightening...
I better knock...
On Wood!
Baby!
