Half-Breed is the tenth studio album by American singer-actress Cher, released in September, 1973 by MCA. For the production of the album Cher returned with Snuff Garrett and Al Capps. Half-Breed was the second record for MCA and also promoted on her successful The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour show. After its release, the album faced mixed reviews from critics, and the RIAA certified it Gold on March 4, 1974. The album was her second solo album to receive a certification by RIAA.
The second album released by Cher in 1973 was Half-Breed. After the failure of the previous pop-standard style album, Bittersweet White Light, Cher abandoned forever her husband Sonny Bono as a producer for her albums. Snuff Garrett returned to work with Cher after the success of Cher and the minor hit Foxy Lady, recording another narrative ballad album.
The opening track of the album is the cover of the penned hit song by Paul and Linda McCartney "My Love", that was released in March 1973. The album contains others two covers, the Bee-Gees' "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", and The Beatles' "The Long and Winding Road". All the songs that Cher covered in the album were originally number one hits by the original artists on the US "Billboard 200" in the early 70's.
