Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves

Written by Bob Stone and produced by Snuff Garrett, this song became Cher's first solo number-one single in both the United States and Canada in 1971, making her the first solo artist to top both the Billboard Hot 100 and Canadian Singles Chart simultaneously. The upbeat pop and folk rock story-song features Cher singing from the perspective of a 16-year-old Romani girl born into a traveling show, and was the biggest-selling single in MCA's history at the time of its release.
