At the age of 16, Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPiere (now known simply as Cher) recorded her first solo song, called "Ringo, I love you" under the name Bonnie Jo Mason. The song never reached the charts, partly because radio stations refused to play it. The song itself wasn't scandalous (it's actually very sweet). However, upon hearing her deep vocals, deejays believed it to be a gay man singing a love song to Ringo and wouldn't give it air time. It was only 1964 after all.
