Great tribute to Sonny, and a tragic ending for him. My folks lived in Palm Desert while he was Mayor of Palm Springs (and during his tenure as a congressman), he did great things for the community and environs. He was approachable too, very genuine. Thank you for saluting Sonny!
Always wonder if it was really an accident, he was on to some things
@@annihilatedbutcomingback1119 :
It wasn't an accident. Sonny was an excellent skier. There wasn't a dent in the tree, which there would have been, if he had slammed into it.
He was going to expose some people, and the Powers That Be, got rid of him.
At the time of his death he was congressman investigating what happened at WACO Texas. It was interesting going back and watching the videos of him grilling Janet Reno. I watched a few different documentaries on him and his accomplishments..and he was truly a God Send and had a heart of gold.
I will never forget Cher's eulogy at his funeral..which was very heartfelt and true.
He got whacked
@@Psychiatrick -- Yes, by a tree as he was barreling down a ski slope.
He got wack because of Waco, because of the Clinton's
Pat Rick Some investigating did think some things of the accident didn't all add up, I guess.
Hiya Jordan the lion travel vlog...been watching a good few of your videos on RUclips think they are Great,I'm a Brit keep safe sir....
The Sonny and Cher Show was on our tv every week when I was a kid. Good memories.
Rene Byers me too my dad and I every week as a kid
Ours too ❤️
I met him once he cooked an amazing dinner for me a day I will never forget. What a wonderful person he was!
Aww! How did that happen? Sounds like he was a really nice man.
Rumor has it he also loved to cook breakfast to the girls he met? Eggs, sausage with a big glass of milk and and warm toasted buns with cream smothered all over em were he’s specialty! Rumor has it the lovely ladies kept coming back for seconds they loved he’s breakfast that much!
Many years ago I worked in Reno Nevada in Emergency Road Service and had a towing contract with the Sparks Police Department. One day I call over to the dispatch and had a nice conversation with one of the dispatchers. For some reason we started talking about Sonny Bono and his accident at Heavenly. During this conversation she tells me that his body was not actually taken to to the Lake Tahoe Police morgue but to their department to keep it away from the press. Always thought that was very interesting. Never told anyone this until now.
Jean Bono (Sonny's Mom) thought his death was not an accident. Others say he was pistol whipped and dumped next to a tree. The truth is he would have struck the boulders and a horizontal tree trunk laying in front of that tree first. Personally, I find it interesting his ski hat and goggles were never recovered.
@@dionnehamilton9398 Well that's fascinating information that I have never heard before. Thanks for the info.
Very good guy
Ok. Was a good person
Brilliant video Jordan sonny was a great guy I paved his driveway back in 1990 he brought me in his home to meet his wife and young daughter he was very down to earth a gentleman. thanks for putting the time to do this video. Loved it.
Holy Moly, I’s forgotten about “Caesar & Cleo”. What a hoot. I loved Sonny & Cher from the start. Bought records, and watch the TV show as often as I could. And Cher’s clothes by Bob Mackie?!! For me, watching the show was almost as important just to see her clothes. I was sad when Sonny died. Thanks for this and the memories. Stay well.
"Needles 'n Pins" is a cool song. Did not realize Sonny wrote it.👍🏻I really liked this vlog, Jordan. It's good of you to present Palm Springs! Lovin' this road trip!
Love that song needles and pins. Didn't know Sonny wrote it either. Always loved the Sonny and Cher Show. My twin sister and I had a crush on Sonny. Too bad about Sonny dying. Sad time. I do agree with Sonny music was different in the 60s than 70s. You had more physcodelic music in the 60s than 70s. 60s had more harmony. Like Sonny and Cher and Peter Paul and Mary type of music.
Sonny did write it, his name is right on the bottom of the 45 rpm.
OK THANKZ FOR TELLING ME THIS INFRO. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
Now I'm wondering if that's the same Needles 'n Pins song that was a great hit for was it Peggy Lee or Dusty Springfield ..
Thank you Jordan for doing this vlog about Sonny Bono. I used to watch the Sonny and Cher show when it was on. Just so happened that I watched an episode of Murder She Wrote that Sonny guested on. I remember watching the news report when he had passed away after that skiing accident and watching part of the funeral on tv. Too bad the building were his restaurant was isn’t there anymore. I bet his food was really good. I think he did a lot of good things for Palm Springs as mayor and was doing good things in Congress when he passed. Mary Bono stepped up to continue his work in Congress. He was truly special.
Sonny was truly a working class hero. He was a guy you presumed was the least likely to accomplish the results he did. Yet, he defied the odds and went from recording star to television and on to business and political success all in the course of a very short life. R.I.P. Mr. Sonny Bono
What an interesting story - another person gone way too soon.
I visited Sonny’s grave a couple of times to pay my respects to a good and much missed man, Frank Sinatra’s grave is in the same cemetery too.
Ken Allistone It’s kind of a low budget looking marker. But I know CA doesn’t allow anything but flat markers because of the grass growing year round.
I did watch their show every week, I was sad when they went their separate ways but such as life!! I guess I am blessed to be married for 41 years!! Thanks Jordan!!
A reminder of when television variety entertainment was king. Palm Springs is beautiful. Thank you for the fun walk downtown.
He had a gift of reinventing himself.💡
I filmed the funeral out in Palm Springs with Cher at the gravesite, very tearful...what I remember most is that it was during a torrential rain storm...Great vlog!
Sonny was an underrated talent...and he'll be greatly missed. Thanks for Chering his story!
lol Chering his story, good one!!
@@QueenlySweetpea Thanks!
And he had become a fairly influential Congressman too, before he was murdered.
I loved Sonny and Cher. I loved that they still loved her other no matter what. I cried when Sonny died and it still makes me very sad. Yet I feel fortunate to have seen what a special person he was and the magic he brought into our world. Great job on this video. 💕💜💕
I ate at Sonny's L.A. restaurant, it was on Melrose, just off La Cienega. It had a white sign with green letters. Sonny was nice and came by everyone's table. The food was good too. I only was there once.
That is his autograph on his gravestone. I like how they did that. They should have used his photo as well.
Jordan, I loved this vlog. Sonny Bono was such a great man. It seemed like he lived several live in one lifetime. He was such a Great Man. I cried when he died. They televised his funeral, it was very emotional. I love Sonny & Cher. This was a Wonderful vlog..one of my favorites. Thank you for this one Jordan, love you. Love to Jah💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
It truly was Sonny the brains of the outfit. I have a lot of respect for the father and man that he was gentle and kind.
He became a politician and was pretty well liked.
he was a congressman at the time and was investigating what happened at WACO..
"And the beat goes on", touched my heart.
Why is there no flowers on there graves didn’t look like anybody had any on there’s does that cemetery not let you put any on ,you would think that him being who he is there would be coins or cds next to his grave like other people that are well known idk just kinda sad in my opinion not seeing flowers or something
they did have those popup vases probably certain days they can put flowers the monument is very plane for someone that well known probably have to be that size for that cemetery.
Most cemeteries take away everything on the day they mow.
Wow you really do your homework.Great job.
As mayor he was smart enough and cool enough to work with (as opposed to aggressively against) college students who wanted to celebrate Spring Break on the West Coast. This was a huge benefit to the local economy and something that has been sorely missed since that time.
Watching this made me recall one of the most heartwarming performances I'd ever seen on David Letterman was when Cher reunited with Sonny to sing "I Got You Babe" in 1985. Apparently it was impromptu - but when they sang it was magical, and although long divorced - you could see it in their eyes, and literally feel, the love they still felt for each other. Here's the link - but better have a tissue ready. ruclips.net/video/c4EaFzRVjlM/видео.html
I never 💭 thought that their daughter was transformed into a man
This was such a great vlog Jordan. Loved watching Sonny and Cher when I was growing up. They were really funny together. Terrible how fame and power affect some men. How can you cheat on Cher? Cher spoke so lovingly at his funeral. He ruined that relationship. Still,she seemed like she still loved him. Rest In Peace Sonny
Love is forever
I learned so much about Sonny Bono. You make every vlog interesting!
Oh, Needles and pins is one of my favorite songs. I didn't know he wrote it. 💙💙
I sorta remember seeing the Sonny and Cher show as a child. But I recall him as The Bomber in the movie Airplane 2, The sequel. He was funny in that......
This was really good.
Sonny and Cher were an original together we stand, divided we fall duo.
So Sorry, forgot to mention Sonny, My daily bike ride ended at his grave, wonderful tribute..
Such an awesome vlog, thanks for this.Sonny and Cher achieved so much, from so little and are an inspiration.Stay safe and take care through the"isolation"
❤️🌼✌️🇦🇺😘👊
I met him at the San Fran airport in the 70s.. He was a very kind nice guy made my day.. RIP
Great video. Than you for keeping us company during this pandemic.
It's NOT a " pandemic " what it is is a plandemic, that's right! This was all planned out and put into
place at " their " big meeting called Event 201 ( look it up ) and it took place in October of 2019 then sprung it onto the unwary public at large in the Spring of 2020. Yes it's all about mass depopulation and the great re-set to bring in a digital currency ..
RIP Sonny Bono. He definitely left a good legacy behind.
Fantastic vlog, Jordan! I was one of those who watched The Sonny And Cher Show every week with my family and I have fond memories of it. Cher's performance in Mask was outstanding and one of my favorite movies for sure.
Learned a lot about Sonny Bono i never knew, really interesting thankyou x
Lived in Palm Springs during his time as Mayor and State Rep . He did wonders for Palm Springs and brought new ideas to the city ! Mary took over as state Rep but not a lot of people too pleased !
We used to catch a few episodes of the Sonny and Cher show when I was a kid. Very interesting vlog!
Great Vlog on Sonny. Learned so much about him. Really great statue of him. His smile made everyone smile.
I remember the day he died in that accident. I also remember their tv show. Thanks for filling in the blanks on the info I didn't know. I remember Cher from the movie "Mask" . Great vlog as always. I wanted to kill that fly that was after you in the cemetery LOL. Thanks Jordan...be safe my friend.
Thank you Jordan. Such a volume of info in such a short time span. You completely covered his life in less than 20 minutes. Amazing. I remember the Sonny and Cher show very well. Great video on a man that changed the course of many lives. Are there any memorials etc at his death site?
I actually went to the movie to see Chastity! Lol, low budget, not great acting, but, I was always fascinated by their relationship...and was a huge fan! Lol
I discovered Kal David on my last trip to Palm Springs. Caught him at a club who's name escapes me. Fantastic guitarist and performer. A hidden treasure.
Sonny was the brains behind their tv show I agree ! Sonny was cool cat😎I recall his last appearance on letterman show 🙌🤟🤙
As mayor of Palm Springs he made it where the thong was illegal. That ended the spring breakers going there it hurt all the business. I was skiing at heavenly valley the day he died there the snow was melting a bit which makes it a little more difficult to ski and it was the end of the day when he went into a tree.
where was Mary Bono when he struck that tree?
@@dionnehamilton9398 Mary waited hours before reporting he was missing. Her various marriages and behavior after his death is appalling. Especially saying he was a drug addict with a terrible temper. Let Sonny RIP.
Learned some new things about Sonny Bono. Good vlog! I am old enough to remember the Sonny & Cher Show. Lol
I remember watching a show called Ready Steady Go when i was 13 first time i saw them and was a fan from then. thank you for this. ❤
Almost gave it away the other day... And the Beat goes on....good Job, I knew there was more to the desert vlogs when you went to the high desert. Did you ever spend time up in Idyllwild... that's where Elvis filmed as a boxer.
Hi Jordan, their costumes certainly stood out! I did like quite a few of their songs and I always thought they really worked well together. I remember both those episodes of 'The Golden Girls', they were so funny, but weren't they all!! What a nice statue of Sonny and fountain, it looks a nice little area there for a bite to eat. Nice scenic drive aswell. Great vlog Jordan.
He was a good guy. I love his statue, and how worn it is. People really liked him.
💋Great Vlog! I am too young to remember when the show aired but I actually do remember hearing about when he passed away. Cher is a fashion icon and beautiful. I got you babe is an adorable song! You always do great tribute videos. Blessings. ~Love&Light💖Carli
My friend you just passed ole blue eyes grave as you drove out of the cemetery, Papa John is across the street in the mausoleum, I attended his beautiful service. Use to live in Cat City for a fall/winter and spring of 2000... Its seems like yesterday..
I vlogged it a year ago
Missed it, Thanks will watch today.. Stay cool as u are.. where is "the Beast"?
I heard mix things about Sony and cher. I am curious if Cher visits his grave today? I did hear that Sonny & Cher were Mormons in faith and that like you stated, he worked his way up putting his foot in the door in many places sort of speak. Both of them were talented singing together for their time. I know Cher and Cyndi Lauper are close today and Cher praises Cyndi very often.
Excellent video. He was an amazing person and is still missed by many, today. Thanks for sharing with all of us! Be careful and stay safe!
Interesting note you made on Cher's Oscar and Sonny's winning the Palm Springs mayorial election! I did not know that. Nice journey through Sonny's old stomping grounds.
Very interesting. I’m too young to remember the show. I’ve heard of them never listened to their music
Cher went on to have MONSTER worldwide solo hits.
Can’t help but believe that Cher learned a lot of the Game that helped fuel her later success from Sonny.
My buddy bought his restaurant, out In Fontana, and reopened for business.
David McDonald yes sir! Lol
David McDonald yes! Any time I am in town, and get a chance to, I will go there. Have you been there??
David McDonald where do you live? Do you go to Bono’s often?
I was on a date at a sports bar when they had his funeral. They showed it on the tv screens.
Such a awesome time in my life. Loved their show and music.
Nice tribute. I was always a Sonny fan growing up. Cher really cut into him on the show, and I was about 10 or 11 and felt that Sonny needed someone to have his back. To this day, I never liked Cher. One great moment though was their reunion performance on Letterman. Cher forgot the words, and Sonny was once again supporting her like the professional he was. You could really see that he was the brains of that team.
It was a sad day when he left us
cher would not be who she is today without sonny bono
kathleen she has admitted that.
What a great tribute to Sonny. He was a very smart man. I used to watch Sonny and Cher all the time. Thank you for a great vlog. Much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤🦁
Very interesting vlog. One of my earliest childhood memories was watching Sonny & Cher with my family. I never really knew anything about Sonny.
Good morning Jordan! How are you and Jah this morning?
Loved their show on tv and they always had Chasity at the end. Thanks for a great video once again!
Very interesting video Jordan love watching your channel. I always learn new things by watching your vlogs. I never knew why him and Cher divorced or much about him being a mayor.
I’ve been missing your vids for a while now. Totally My Fault! Anyway, love your new intros!! Very cool! Keep up the good work!
I loved Sonny and Cher❤️. Great vlog Jordan. God bless and stay safe.. thanks for all you do, hug Jah for me.
During the 1990's, I was enlisted in the Navy. I was visiting a public library & STRANGER told me that the Waco tragedy was by CLINTON. Rest In Heaven Senator Bono -- ***slowly saluting***
Thanks for giving us a vlog with a wonderful tribute to Sonny Bono Jordan!
Thanks Jordon the Lion for showing us Sonny’s grave. Loved Sonny and Cher show. It was so entertaining and also made us laugh. Sonny was the best. God Bless Him. Hi from Australia.💕
I don’t believe Sonnys death was an accident .
There were two forensic doctors who examined his body postmortem and concluded that he was severely beaten to death .
Abracadabra I remember that some said that he was too good of a skier to have the type of accident that he did. There were also things about how the clothing was damaged. Don't know if it was true or not.
Kal David was a guitarist in The Fabulous Rinestones!
If it wasn't for Sonny Bono Cher wouldn't have been nothing but a shy person who didn't have nothing to begin with
I love Palm Springs so much I just bought a Condo there!
Nice job Jordan. Hey, ever consider doing something about Gene Autry ? He had a great hotel in Palm Springs...and Angel's stadium in Palm Springs....
Always liked sonny, he seemed like a cool dude, i remember seeing him on Love Boat episode looking like a Kiss member lol
Love your videos Jordan, so informative and interesting, thanks for all that you do, stay safe and thank you.
Good job on your research! Very cool
Sonny and Cher made a great team; there was great chemistry. Such great memories. I dont know who the sculptor was, but I dont think the faces on him and Lucy looked very much like the real people. I would never have known who the statues were depicting without being told.
I read he was killed on the ski hill , for trying to reveal how corrupt certain people were ...Sonny really tried but the darkness won
Thank you Jordan for your awesome vlogs! Being shutdown in quarantine this is a godsend! We love you! God bless and stay well!
Great vlog, learned so many things I didn't know about him and Cher. Thanks!
Enjoyable volg. I am a Cher fan as well. Thank you Jordan.💙
I LOVED Sonny & Cher. I was devastated when they divorced and always kept hoping they would get back together.
Thanks Jordan! Now I'm gonna have "The Beat Goes On" stuck in my head for days!
You are a great storyteller!! 🤗
I remember the Sonny and Cher show. Those comedy shows were so popular in the 70s. My faves were Carol Burnett Show, the Flip Wilson Show, and Sonny and Cher!
Sony was murdered and it was made to look like he hit that tree . The coroners findings were that his injuries were consistent with that of a beating by at least 3 individuals.
There would be no Cher without Sonny.
He was the first Cher fan. May he rest in peace.
It's peace * .. because piece is like a piece of chewing gum or something ..
@@QueenlySweetpea Thanks, that was a typo of the worst kind. One of my own pet peeves. LOL
@@Ken15643 .. Yes it sure was, ~ but it happens when you least expect it lol
Well we have this pet peeve in common, I just can't help noticing them, it's like they scream out at me :P
Great video Jordan.I remember watching the Sonny and Cher show when it was on.Their daughter Chasity was so cute.I think she must have been around 2 or 3 when Sonny held her while singing.I hope you and amy are ok and stay safe.
I've always been a fan of Sonny and Cher and "I Got You Babe" was one of my first 45s. I remember their wild hair, striped bell bottoms, wide belts and fur vests. As much as he cared for Cher, I do believe his second wife Mary was the true love of his life. Years ago I enjoyed dinner at their restaurant in Palm Springs. Thanks for telling his story, Jordan! Great vlog!
I got to see Cher in concert about three weeks ago in the third row, and when she sang I Got You Babe you could just see in her eyes how much she meant to him. Maybe they weren’t meant to be romantically but they were obviously best friends.
I grew up watching the Sonny and Cher show. And my favorite episode of the Golden Girls is the one with Sonny where he's chasing after Dorothy along with Lyle Waggoner from the Carol Burnett show (in Blanches dream)
