Cher is a Alternative rock and Disco act. Their catalogue also touches Folk, Pop and Rock. Their sound grew out of Tommy Shaw, Barclay James Harvest, Offer Nissim, Georgia Holt and This Is Our Night. Those roots explain a lot about how Cher arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Céline Dion, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Melle Mel, Bailamos, You Make It Feel Like Christmas, Blondshell and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 108 connections around Cher, reaching back through Tommy Shaw and forward to Melle Mel.
