Sonny & Cher - The Beat Goes On

I remember as a kid in the 70's watching the Sonny & Cher show and this brings back some of those memories and is very fitting since Sonny Bono would have been 75 today. The couple started their career in the mid-1960s as R & B backing singers for record producer Phil Spector.The pair first achieved fame with two hit songs in 1965, "Baby Don't Go" and "I Got You Babe". The couple's career as a duo ended in 1975 following their divorce. In the decade they spent together, Sonny and Cher sold 80 million records worldwide. After they had split up as a couple, Cher went on to a highly successful career as a solo singer and actress, while Sonny Bono was eventually elected to Congress as a U.S. Representative from California. They were inducted to the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1998..."lay back and groove".
