We had every major star in the world spend a week with David Bowie and a week with Tina Turner.
Don ReoGUEST
And one of the shows, we had Dion, DiMucci, and Frankie Valli, and we did, you know, a tribute to Doo-Wop.

Don ReoGUEST
Well, going back to the Cher Show, when I was putting it together, I should say when we were putting it together in the spring of 1975, Um, and the summer of 1975, I wanted to book, we were booking all kinds of famous people, you know, like I said, David Bowie and, uh, uh, LaBelle and we had an incredible music acts, Ray Charles.
Don ReoGUEST
And I got to meet all these people and work with them.
Patty YoungNARRATOR
Such was the experience of two inner circle colleagues of the legendary costume and fashion designer who died on September 14th at 87.
Patty YoungNARRATOR
Mackie was a visionary behind some of the iconic fashions for such stars as Cher, Dolly Parton, Diana Ross, Carol Burnett, Elton John, and more.
Patty YoungNARRATOR
But behind every talent is a talented team.
Patty YoungNARRATOR

In 2019, the designer contributed to the Camp Notes on Fashion exhibition, dressing Cher for her performance at the annual gala.
Patty YoungNARRATOR
Though it became a memorable part of the evening, Mackie's involvement wasn't always part of the plan.

You know, I was looking through some of his designs because, of course, famously he did Cher's Oscar outfits, he did Carol Burnett.

But he also-

No, no, no. You're, you're, wait.

And he did every single costume for every iteration of the Sonny & Cher Show, The Cher Show.
LoriHOST
So he, he, you know, the big, the best sight gag in, you know, comedy TV is, you know, when Carol Burnett comes down in the Scarlett O'Hara dress-

Television variety shows were the closest thing to movie musicals, as Mr. Mackie liked to say, particularly in the 1970s.
Julie ShawNARRATOR
They were nightly extravaganzas that delivered high-wattage stars and over-the-top glamorous fashion to America's living rooms.
Julie ShawNARRATOR
Sonny Bono and Cher had veered from their folk roots and were playing Las Vegas when CBS hired them to do a weekly show.

I was a weird kid, he told Vogue in 1990, but I was always pretty good with crayons.

His mother and his older sister, Patricia, would visit on weekends and take Bob to the movies.

Technicolor musicals, mostly, that entranced him.
