Album information
The Chastity album was released in the summer of 1969, the same date as Cher's album 3614 Jackson Highway, and was written and produced by Sonny Bono. The soundtrack is largely instrumental, with vocals by Cher on the track "Chastity's Song (Band of Thieves)" (the only song on the album written by Elyse Weinberg).[3] This song was also released as a single, with "I Walk on Guilded Splinters" as the B-side. In a review of the song, Billboard wrote that Cher delivered a "sensitive treatment" and that the single had "both play and sales potential".[4]
The St. Petersburg Times considered "Chastity's Song", "Chastity Walk" and "Chastity Love Theme" highlights in its review of the album.[5]
