Cher first met Sonny Bono in a Los Angeles coffee shop in November 1962, when she was sixteen. Sonny was already twenty-seven and working for record producer Phil Spector at Gold Star Studios in Hollywood. The two became fast friends, eventual lovers, and later, husband and wife. Through Sonny, Cher (as she was called early on for short) eventually got to sing back-up on several of Spector’s classic recordings, including the monumental “Be My Baby” by the Ronettes.
With Sonny continuing to write, arrange and produce the songs, Sonny and Cher’s first incarnation was as the duo “Caesar and Cleo”. They received little attention. They later re-emerged as “Sonny and Cher”, and released their first album Look at Us in the summer of 1965. This album contained the overnight smash and eventual number-one single “I Got You Babe” (1965). Cher was nineteen years old. Several more top forty hits would follow, most famously “Baby, Don’t Go” and “The Beat Goes On.”
The two became a quick sensation, travelling and performing around the world. Periodic solo releases continued during the Sonny & Cher days, including a major success with “Bang Bang” for Cher in 1966. They did become briefly controversial in Los Angeles for siding with the young people being harassed on the Sunset Strip; as a result, they were removed from their promised position of honor in the Tournament of Roses Parade in January of 1967[1].
