美國演藝巨星［雪兒］事業低潮──流行搖滾──［Long Distance Love Affair／遠距離戀愛］

Momma raised me to love one man
And thats just what Im trying to do
But since youve been playing
In that rock and roll band
I never see enough of you

Saw your picture in a magazine
Read the letters that you sent back home
But of the night Im alone by the tv screen
Listening for the telephone
Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while Im here youre always there
This kind of love dont get no where
Its just a long distant love affair

I got a fever running through my blood
Night and day you know it never fails
And theres only one thing
Thats gonna satsify me
And you cant send it through the mail

Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while Im here youre always there
This kind of love dont get no where
Its just a long distant love affair

Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while Im here youre always there
This kind of love dont get no where
Its just a long distant love affair

Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while Im here youre always there
This kind of love dont get no where
Its just a long distant love affair

１９７５年４月　美國演藝紅星雪兒（Cher）跳槽到華納兄弟唱片，

發行第１２張個人專輯［Stars／星星］，但樂評與銷售皆不佳．

１９７６年９月，３０歲的雪兒推出第１３張大碟［Id Rather Believe in You／我寧願相信你］（華納兄弟唱片發行）

由Steve Barri，Michael Omartian製作，

由於上張［Stars］的銷售非常糟糕，雪兒只能在專輯中加入敘事流行歌曲。

只是樂評不理想．

專輯唯一單曲為［Long Distance Love Affair／遠距離戀愛］，

由Michael Price, Dan Walsh譜寫

Steve Barri，Michael Omartian製作製作成一首流行搖滾．

在彈性的節奏間，雪兒以渾厚嗓音奔放詮釋，令人振奮．

只是大眾反應依舊冷漠, 未入美國單曲榜

大碟［Id Rather Believe in You／］銷售更差，未入各國專輯榜．

讓雪兒音樂事業事業持續低潮．

製片人Michael Omartian將此歸因於“缺乏宣傳”。

標題取［IdratherBelieveInYou］原計劃作為專輯中第二首單曲，但在第一首單曲失敗後被取消。

根據《告示牌》雜誌的說法，雪兒擁有［Stars］專輯的版權，華納無權重新發行。
