We, The Challengers Band, backed them on this exact recording as the duo "Caesar and Cleo". They received little attention, despite releasing some singles in 1964: "The Letter", with Vault Records, our label. Cher sang background on some of our tracks, as she sounded almost like a 17 year old boy. Cher and I were 17 when we met and Sonny shared an office with our drummer, Richard Delvy. The song got re-released as "Sonny & Cher" and was a hit.
WIthout a doubt, their best song. Sonny really was a gifted songwriter and made Cher a star. I love this video!! I had forgotten those special effects.
@@duckdiamond509 There would have been no Cher without Sonny. She crashed his funeral and stood up there and talked for half an hour, weeping, while his widow sat there embarrassed.
@@ferociousgumbyHer tears were genuine and she didn't speak for half an hour. His wife Mary welcomed her to speak and was not embarrassed by Cher's emotion. Cher spoke highly of Mary and how happy she and their children had made Sonny.
On this day in 1965 {February 17th} Sonny and Cher performed "Baby Don't Go" on the ABC-TV program 'Shindig!'... Six months later on August 21st it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #8 and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100... Originally released in 1964 but failed to make the national charts; after the success of "I've Got You, Babe" it was re-released and entered the Top 100 in August 1965... And on October 11th, 1965 it peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} in Canada...
This is my go to video when life is just too much to take in 2015. This was my time and I love how Sonny and Cher looked all hippy and cool. Too bad Sonny was murdered and then covered up he was a beautiful soul. Horrible world we live in.
No he was murdered because he was about to expose a lot of lies in the Waco Seige. He had blood on the back of his jacket where they hit him with the gun...google Sonny Bono murdered and decide for yourself.
No problem and you're right, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Cher is such an icon and lives her life according to how she sees fit and for us to assume we, as fans, know what really goes on in these very public figure's lives is ridiculous. They call it "show business" for a reason, if ya know what I mean??
The first four or five hits were the best. When Gypsies and tramps and thieves came along they started going downhill, of course the 60s music outshined all decades ! The crap that's out there today, give me a break it's depressing let alone not even mediocre !
hello all fans,I recall this song,in early 1965,was a heavy singles year,eight days a week,mr tamb man,eve of destruction,this diamond ring,I always wondered why it came out on the reprise label,sonny& cher were contracted to atco label,anyone know anything,dan,,
I'm so confused when people say before she changed and stuff and her natural beauty's she admits at 45 with an interview with Oprah she had a nose job, teeth done and had her breast reduced after here children! To me she looks the same, obviously now due to her being 73 she has had god knows what done but she has never had reconstruction done to her face
+Magpie - Sorry Magpie, that seems too farfetched for me. Like they are going to ambush him on a ski slope when they could have taken him out like Jimmy Hoffa was taken out and never seen again? I guess you also believe Marilyn Monroe was murdered, right?
There's a very different type of beauty that only women have. A girl would be more cute and pretty but there's a deep sophisticated beauty that some older women have that they did not have when they were young and loud and proud and ignorant. I'm not saying all young girls are that way but many. Not all older women have that refined beauty either .
Cher was real ,you can tell he tried to humiliate her then he tried to show he wasn't, he was a Narc, cher was very talented and he took her for granted which he tried to say he was the bread winner when it was her gift not his my opinion , tell me im wrong.
please check, Patty Redmond baby don't go utube, just want to know, Im not cher, just me, my version thank you, would so much like comments, jest ta see, thank u
Wow!! I had no idea that you were so close to Sonny and Cher and privy to the problems that they had with their relationship back then! You must be pretty special, huh?? Pfft... Cher is still fabulously gorgeous and sure, she's had some work done to her face but she's been standing on her own, without Sonny, for a very long time and is considered "successful" in some circles!! But you probably already know that since the 2 of you are so close to each other! Lol! Pfft...
lol pfft.wake up buddy..where did rock and roll originate?..where did the blues..jazz..r&b originate?do some research..its integrating black culture into pop culture for the gain of caucasions and profit..elvis did it..marky mark did it..vanilla ice..eminem..justin bieber..miley cyrus..and the countless list goes on..its been like this all throughout time..their style of dress..the dances they are doing..please do not tell me it is not african culture?o im prlly annoying now...truth is annoying
Song is about the fcked up way she was raised..she cnt commit..shes naive and foolish..trying to find something new and bored of her current lover..she has issues
Seriously good song. Stands up well after 50 years.

Q 1
Very cool! I love this era and love the real artistry of this video and its nostalgic look.
And the tight harmonies on "pretty baby please don't go" have the sound of a train whistle in the distance.
I Am

@@duckdiamond509 There would have been no Cher without Sonny. She crashed his funeral and stood up there and talked for half an hour, weeping, while his widow sat there embarrassed.
@@duckdiamond509 She sobbed and cried, and made sure the cameras caught it, because I saw it on the news.

Iconic song. it really showcases Chers voice, written by the incomparable and late Sonny Bono . I still love this song.
I will never get tired of this song
Love the song & moves of the background dancers onstage....
See what you mean about the dancers.
I think this song first showed the power and purity of her voice. Once she did this we knew great things were coming. We were right.
The base line is awesome. And Cher does a great job of delivering Bono's lyrics. Classic track thank you Sonny Bono. RIP.
What an icon Cher is... absolutely stunning!
Love this song 🎶 ❤❤❤ all of their music is wonderful ❤❤❤

One of my favorites from Sonny & Cher...nice
It seems that>>>>> this >>>>> traps time and soul check and ,,,, mate >>>>❤ haunting field of deja vu
I love Cher's old nose and teeth - so real and beauteous - yeh, I made that word up, but it works.
Basoflakes That word has been around since the 60s
,с
She looks like Jennifer Lawrence.
Gorgeous Cher!

+Magpie Exactly right.

Beautiful af
Cher was so beautiful before all the surgery. She sang better back then too.
The first four or five hits were the best. When Gypsies and tramps and thieves came along they started going downhill, of course the 60s music outshined all decades ! The crap that's out there today, give me a break it's depressing let alone not even mediocre !
Excellent!!

They're both so terminally "cute". Especially Cher - she's steals the show.
Chick dancing @ 2:30 is some hot stufff

That Banjo

Pretty neat ♡
Thanks Dux. Closing in on the Venatu prize....

Is that Judge Jeanne Pirro at 20 seconds in the video ?
Wonderful song, sound, look...
listen to her sail...
CHER!!!!!
Cher looked so perfect back then, how could she let plastic surgery ruin her natural beauty??
Sonny wasn't murdered. He died in a skiing accident. He ran into a tree.
+Sylvia Carlson Open your eyes and google Sonny was murdered
+Magpie - Sorry Magpie, that seems too farfetched for me. Like they are going to ambush him on a ski slope when they could have taken him out like Jimmy Hoffa was taken out and never seen again? I guess you also believe Marilyn Monroe was murdered, right?
+Magpie On conspiracy sites, maybe
Very sad. Happened up at Lake Tahoe
Yes. He was murdered.
It was Douglas Fir who did him in.
We never saw Sonny and Ringo together. Why was that?
sonny made cher- end of
I was saddened to hear the news that Sony hade passed Away
Wow she looks so Armenian here
damn look how they danced lol
Yea but that 1 girl is burnin
Explain to me how a guy looks like that ends up with HER.The raw natural Cher as seen here was the best looking thing in show business in 65.
He made her a star. She was no one before she met him.
@@mitchflorida Yep nothing BUT aworld class beauty even in a blind man s eyes.
Well, I highly doubt she'd look as gorgeous at 66 as she did at 19.

Honestly, she's still a pretty woman.
please check, Patty Redmond baby don't go utube, just want to know, Im not cher, just me, my version thank you, would so much like comments, jest ta see, thank u
I also love her warm voice, before she developed that irritating staccato sound
vanity...
I knowwww! :((
Pretty sure that kaleidoscopic effect in the middle caused a lot of vomiting back in the day
HE REALLY LOVED HER

Did I see a frug, a buggalu and a jerk?

Is this before segregation?
Despite the rather extensive plastic surgery, Cher is still very recognizable 50+years later.
Come on...Cher looks good still...seen the Mama Mia sequel? Although I prefer her as a brunette. 😀
Clearly lip syncing
bitch please she looks perfect now as well
Sonny was terrible at lip-syncing
or just taking from black culture and making it 'pop'..same exact thing as today
When Cher used to sing better.
Love u
