"Carousel Man" is a song recorded by an American singer/actress Cher, released as a promotional single from the album Half-Breed. The single was released only in the US and charted on Billboard Adult Contemporary chart at #41, as well as on the Canadian singles chart at #83.
Billboard described the song as "another perfect pop-machined single" by the winning team of Cher and Snuff Garrett.[1] Cash Box called it "a powerful song in the great Cher tradition", noting its resemblance to "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" and praising its "great hook, solid instrumentation and Cher's inimitable vocal style".[2] AllMusic retrospectively wrote: "the jingling rhythm" of the song "hit the right marks at the right time".[3]
