Cher's first album for Casablanca Records, "Take Me Home" (NBLP-7133), released in 1979. The alleged uncredited appearance on track B1 was long considered as being something of a give-back for her appearing on his solo album the previous year. However, the voice heard shouting on the track is not Gene. Gene has commented that while he was in the studio while Cher was recording the album that he did not appear on it. Cher would record two more albums ("Prisoner," also released in 1979, and "Black Rose," a band project with then-boyfriend Les Dudek, released in 1980 that moved her away from disco into rock) for Casablanca before leaving the label for Geffen Records where her career would hit yet another zenith. The track was released as a B-side on Cher's "Hell On Wheels" single (7" NB-2208 & 12" NBD-20189, both 1979) from her next, and final Casablanca solo album ("Black Rose" with next boyfriend Les Dudek doesn't count!).
