About the Artist

Few artists in pop history have demonstrated the longevity and reinvention of Cher. Born Cherilyn Sarkisian in 1946, she first rose to fame alongside Sonny Bono in the mid-1960s with the smash hit I Got You Babe. Over the following decades she evolved from folk-pop icon to Oscar-winning actress (Moonstruck, 1987) to hard rock belter (If I Could Turn Back Time, 1989) — and then, in the mid-1990s, to bona fide dance music queen.

Her 1995 album It's a Man's World marked a bold artistic pivot, blending orchestral pop with club-ready production. The album spawned several remixed singles that became staples of the underground and mainstream dance scenes alike, cementing Cher's status as a gay icon and dancefloor legend years before Believe (1998) would make her a global phenomenon all over again.

About the Release

One By One was released as a single from It's a Man's World and became one of the era's most celebrated dance remixes when handed to Junior Vasquez — the legendary New York DJ and producer whose residency at the Sound Factory made him one of the most influential figures in 1990s house and club music.

Vasquez's mixes of One By One are widely regarded as some of his finest work: deep, hypnotic, and relentlessly driving, they transformed Cher's vocal into a transcendent club experience. The track became an anthem in LGBTQ+ venues across North America and Europe, and this promo pressing was distributed to DJs and radio stations ahead of the commercial release — making it a genuine piece of dance music history.
