second-degree murder in 2009.The “If I Could Turn Back Time” singer, 78, made the startling revelation in her newly released self-titled book, “Cher: The Memoir.” According to the Grammy winner, after she completed her 1974 album “Dark Lady,” Spector approached her about joining forces for new music.

The pair were set up through Cher’s then-boyfriend David Geffen.She claimed that Spector asked her and Harry Nilsson to record a “guide vocal” on the Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas’ song “A Love Like Yours.” He said he’d pass the music to John Lennon for review, as she and Nilsson sang back-up on the Beatles frontman’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll” album.But Cher said the music producer-turned-convicted murderer — who died in 2021 — misled them.

Spector allegedly released the single illegally in Europe, infuriating Cher because it violated both her and Nilsson’s record contracts.

She decided to take matters into her own hands — and that’s when all hell broke loose.In her memoir, Cher revealed that she drove to Spector’s home to confront him about the issue.
