The second album released by Cher in 1973 wasHalf-Breed. After the failure of the previouspop-standardstyle album,Bittersweet White Light, Cher permanently abandoned her husbandSonny Bonoas a producer for her albums. Snuff Garrett returned to work with Cher after the success ofCherand the minor hitFoxy Lady, recording another narrative ballad album.[3]

Theopening trackof the album is the cover of the hit song written byPaulandLinda McCartney, “My Love”, that was released in March 1973.[3]The album contains two other covers: theBee-Gees’ “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart”, andThe Beatles’ “The Long and Winding Road”.[3][4]All the songs that Cher covered in the album were originally number-one hits by the original artists on the US “Billboard200″ in the early 1970s.

David Paich contributed on “David’s Song” and for the arrangements in the album. The last song of the album, “Chastity Sun”, was re-written by Cher.[3][4]Originally entitled “Ruby Jean & Billy Lee”, it was a song bysoft rockbandSeals and Croftsreleased in their 1973 albumDiamond Girl. The re-written version by Cher was a dedication to her first child,Chaz Bono.[4]

In August 1993, the original album was combined withDark Ladyand issued on one CD. CalledHalf Breed/Dark Lady, this release included all the tracks from both original albums. In contrast, several budget CDs have also been released titledHalf Breed(note the lack of hyphen) by various labels. These albums use different covers, and contain only two tracks from the original album alongside selected tracks from other Cher albums, includingCher,Foxy Lady, andDark Lady. The originalHalf-Breedalbum in its entirety remains unreleased on compact disc.
