Due to the success of Cher’s solo torch spots onThe Sonny & Cher Comedy Hourlike “My Funny Valentine” and “What a Difference a Day Makes”, Bono decided she should record an album featuring modern arrangements of standards from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.[1][1][2]

Bittersweet White Lightwas a collection of fully orchestrated, lushly-arranged classics. Bono had started in the music business working with legendary “Wall of Sound” producerPhil Spectorand the album clearly demonstrates Spector’s influence.[1]Songs in the record range from Gershwin tunes “How Long Has This Been Going On?” and “The Man I Love” to Al Jolson’s “Sonny Boy” toJudy Garland’s “The Man That Got Away” to Duke Ellington’s “I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good”. The album was promoted on her successfulThe Sonny & Cher Comedy Hourshow. The title of the album was reported to be taken from the staging of such songs on her television showwhich she performed in front of a torch spotlight.Bittersweet White Lightwas also the first of Cher’s album’s to feature medleys, “Jolson Medley”, and with track mixed, “How Long Has This Been Going On” with “The Man I Love” and “Why Was I Born” with “The Man That Got Away”. The other albums that got tracks mixed together wereTake Me HomeandPrisoner.
