The iconic performer Cher had a dramatic comeback in the late eighties with “If I Could Turn Back Time,” the lead single from her twentieth studio album, Heart of Stone. Written by the prolific Diane Warren, the song has been featured on episodes of Will & Grace and Eastenders. The video, in which Cher wears a revealing black swimsuit and fishnets, has been parodied by Family Guy in Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, with Meg filling Cher’s role.

The Beatles came out with “Get Back” in 1969. A game changer for the group, the song was the first Beatles recording released in stereo format and the first where the Beatles were not the only people credited. The song was credited to “The Beatles and Billy Preston.” Preston played electric piano and the organ on the track. The song has been covered by Al Green, Rod Stewart and Tina Turner.

“I Won’t Back Down” was Tom Petty’s first solo single. Featuring George Harrison, the song has since been used in various political and sports campaigns. George W. Bush used the song in his 2000 campaign until receiving a cease and desist letter from the publishers. The song has been covered by Switchfoot and Johnny Cash.
