Sonny and Cher - All I Really Want To Do (Shindig! - 1965)

- Sonny & Cher proved one of the magical musical combinations of the mid '60s and one of the better rock-influenced MOR acts of the early '70s, their wisecracking repartee providing counterpoint to a series of adoring hit duets. Salvatore "Sonny" Bono (b. Feb. 16, 1935) started out at Los Angeles-based Specialty Records as a songwriter in the late '50s, responsible for "Koko Joe" by Don and Dewey and "She Said Yeah" for Larry Williams, which was later covered by the Rolling Stones and the Righteous Brothers. Bono became a protégé of Phil Spector, managing to write a handful of successful songs, most notably "Needles and Pins" in collaboration with his protégé Jack Nitzsche, which became a success for Jackie DeShannon and a huge international hit for the Searchers. In 1964, while working sessions with Phil Spector, he met an 18-year-old would-be singer named Cherilyn Lapierre (b. May 20, 1946), and the two were later married. They formed a professional duet, initially as Caesar and Cleo for Vault Records and later Reprise, but it was only after they were signed to Atlantic Records as Sonny & Cher that success came their way. The couple embarked on parallel careers, with Cher later signed to Liberty/Imperial Records as a solo act. She subsequently hit with "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" while Sonny charted with "Laugh at Me" on Atco, but their biggest success was as a duet on Atco, with "I Got You Babe" and "The Beat Goes On."
For a time, from 1965 until 1967, they were rock & roll's hottest couple, so much so that in some conservative communities they were considered almost morally subversive; parents locked up their kids when Sonny and Cher were passing through for a concert appearance. They were popular enough, and sufficiently well-known in their images that the Rolling Stones impersonated them on the British television music showcase Ready Steady Go, miming to "I Got You Babe" with Brian Jones subbing for Sonny.
And then nothing -- the hits stopped coming, and the couple made some daringly creative but unsuccessful commercial missteps, even a movie (Good Times, directed by William Friedkin in his debut) that was, like the Monkees' Head, too far ahead of its time for critics or all but the most advanced fans to appreciate. A further film effort, Chastity, a name shared by their daughter, also bombed, and the sudden confrontation of a $200,000 income tax debt forced the couple to continue working. Further, they were unable to record because of a dispute with Atlantic over Sonny's objections to the way that Cher's solo career was being handled.
They were playing supper clubs and Las Vegas nightclubs when Johnny Musso, a friend of the couple's, was jumping from an executive position at Atlantic to run Decca Records' Kapp label subsidiary, and brought the duo with him. At around the same time, their stage act -- which had evolved into a kind of "with it" domestic comedy routine nearly as prominent as the music, with the tall, wry-witted Cher cutting up on the seemingly dim-witted Sonny -- was spotted by Fred Silverman, who was then the head of programming for CBS. They ended up with a summer replacement try-out show that did so well that Sonny & Cher were given a regular spot in the CBS lineup in January 1972 with a comedy-variety series.
The couple's recording career was revived initially by a live album cut in one night at Las Vegas, featuring new versions of their early hits as well as parts of their current repertory; the album went gold. The first couple of singles by Cher and Sonny & Cher failed, but then producer Snuff Garrett, who had been at Liberty when Cher was there but had never worked with her, was brought in, and the result was "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," a career-reviving number one hit. After that, "The Way of Love," "All I Ever Need Is You" (which became the theme for their TV show), "A Cowboy's Work Is Never Done," "Half Breed," and "Dark Lady" kept either Cher or the couple in the Top Ten at various times through 1974. By then, however, their marriage had fallen apart, and with it, the success of their TV show. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

Фантастический Сонни, непревзойденная Шер!!!!!!!!!!!!
She mimics Sonny’s and Dylan’s voice so well a lot of people think this is a Sonny and Cher duet when it’s just her solo
Sonny had so much confidence in her that she didn’t have in herself, until much later! Have always loved this song. Came out about the same time I was born.
the RIGHT MAN coming into a woman's life, can make a big difference.
@@darrellmfume4020it was sad that Cher made dear Sonny into a villain that she said actually “kept her a slave!” He loved her so….
Шер и Сонни -браво!!!!!
In the summer of 1965, this was Cher's first hit record. Ever fabulous. Been a fan long before the surgeries, the divorce, etc. She's beyond incredible. Very real. True to herself. And an awesome entertainer. Seen her many times live and she is a true original.
The impact of Bob Dylan in the mid sixties was unbelievable. Some of the best songs of the decade were covers of his songs.
Море обаяния😍😍😍
Отличный дуэт, жаль время их разъединило.
A classic. This is Cher before all the stupid surgeries. A more natural Cher. One of my fave from them. Thanks!
She only ever had her nose and teeth done. She's looked the same since the 70's. She was literally 19 here and not even fully grown.
@@zee3499 you’re forgetting the botched lip injections
ЛУЧШИЕ ИЗ ЛУЧШИХ!!!НАСТОЯЩИЕ,ИСКРЕННИЕ,ВЛЮБЛЕННЫЕ!!!ОЧЕНЬ ЖАЛЬ,ЧТО У НИХ ТАК СЛОЖИЛОСЬ-ОНИ БЫЛИ СОЗДАНЫ ДРУГ ДЛЯ ДРУГА!!!!
Great Song! my favorite Sunny and Cher song. reminds me of Santa Monica beach in the 60'.
This was my favorite Sonny and Cher clip
The end is so cute
Это год моего рождения!
On this day in 1965 {July 21st} it was a great day for pop music on TV…
In the afternoon Jackie Wilson, Billy Butler, Linda Scott, Tony Alaimo, and Paul Revere & The Raiders appeared on ABC-TV's music series "Where The Action Is"...
And in the evening Sonny & Cher, Gene Pitney, the Chiffons, the Righteous Brothers, Gary Lewis & the Playboys, the Sir Douglas Quintet, Bobby Sherman, the Nashville Teens, Jody Miller, Billy Preston, & the Blossoms performed on ABC-TV's "Shindig!"....
I love Sonny and Cher
Her voice is so beautiful, especially live
Aww, that ending is sweet.
I remember seeing this on Shindig, and i thought way back then how silly it looked for Sonny to be on the stage but now i see that Cher really didn't need Sonny in most of the songs. My favorite with the both was :Baby Don't Go".
How about that placid lump Yoko Ono onstage doing nothing with John Lennon and his band. Now THAT was well beyond silly! ♣
Sonny wrote the songs you nitwit.
Cher would NOT go onstage without Sonny. She had really bad stage fright, she explains it in her book and so has Sonny in his book. He also wrote most of their songs.
GSXR 600 he didn’t write this song, this is a Bob Dylan cover
@@WytZox1 I saw that from Rock and Roll Circus. I would be hard-pressed to find anyone who had less Talent. It was very painful to watch.
On this day in 1965 {July 30th} Cher performed "All I Really Want to Do" on the Dick Clark produced ABC-TV network weekday-afternoon program 'Where The Action Is'...
At the time the song was at #42 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; a little over two weeks later it would peak at #15 {for 2 weeks} and it spent 12 weeks on the Top 100..
Also at the time the Byrds' version of "All I Really Want to Do" was at #45 and Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" was at #22...
On the same 'Action' show Sonny & Cher performed "Baby Don't Go", it entered the chart on August 15th and peaked at #8 {for 2 weeks} on October 3rd, 1965...
Cher, born Cherilyn Sarkisian, celebrated her 71st birthday two months ago on May 20th, 2017...

First Song In My Life I Went Crazy For! June July Aug---1965 Los Angeles # 2 as I Got You Babe was # 1
1960's and early 70's Cher was a Goddess!
80s Cher was even better
@@AlexeBriand2002she was way more authentic in the 60s and 70s, in the 80s and 90s she was trying to change her music to adapt to what was doing success that time
Great Song Cher is so cute with her bang hair style. ❤it 👩🎤
My mothers favorite song by them
So Good that Dillon cover...Cher is so awesome, still today.
Dylan.
She is so beautiful and Sonny so charming
Awww sooo cute 💑
LOVE IT
Awesome!
Mama mia!!!
i love the end where sonny walks off than comes back and hug cher so cute apparently sonny say is was mostly kids and teens who love they music parents hated them cause that all they hear everyday haha and than all of a sudden when they started doing their show everyone started to like them cause show was for every age group
sonny was there because cher wouldn't go on stage by herself.
good memory...
Did Cher actually sing the low parts also ? or was this just to make an unusual performance ?
Always thought they both sang on this song .
PaulLonden I also thought the same thing. It also seems like she is singing to the actual recording here.
In later performances they sang together. But the initial recording and subsequent live renditions are all Cher.
I love this song so much that I convinced a young America Armenian friend, who is right now in the studio covering this song.
I took the notification as a good sign.

I always liked sonny and cher watched their show all the time as a child
1965 trip to Greenfield Village with family including an aunt and grandparents. Still they were times.
Обожаю Сони и Шер
When pop music was actually "good"
flashingarrows no need for the quotation marks, pop music was great from the beginning until about 2009
There is great music in every generation since the Renaissance. You just have to know where to look and have the presence of mind to dig past the surface layer of quick selling garbage.
Everything was better in the 60s!!!!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Dylan forever
That lower voice has to be Sonny. It sounds so much like him.
nope, that was all Cher. she’s a contralto
.She out grew Sonny...It was Sonny who got her started ....He wrote a lot of good songs for her..The relationship was doomed once she got her confidence up..Then it was time to move on ...
He couldn't stop cheating on her.
What you said was true, he did write a lot of songs for her and also many other groups. From what I gather like the comment Jamie Jack said he couldn't stop cheating. I've heard that from many other sources.
In addition to cheating he refused to let her work outside of his control and the so called Cher Enterprises was split 95% for him and 5% for the lawyer. She said she would have stayed if he didn’t have such a tight grip and agreed to split things 50/50.
@@kb_analytics 99% for him - 1% for the lawyer.
She never got over Sonny she still misses him
Does anyone recall them at the Altoona skating rink in 63/64 - one performance
I have the 45.
I did Sonny and Cher but they were on Ed Sullivan's show on Sunday nights. Sonny and his leopard skin outfit.
I prefer this version to Dylan.
i love this song it what i want to say to my exxxx
can you add to your title that this was in 4/21/1965??
I did some research and came up with July 21, 1965 and changed it to that.
Cher, had a rare disease known as Progressive Scleroderma that also presented multiple sclerosis symptoms in rare cases. Patricia Rosema also had to occasionally sit. Cher was also Patricia in later used not to be confused with a Dutch lookalike as presented by a studio...from???
iris wigle what.....I’m confused here.
you made that shit up
Do you know something I don't?
Wow ♥
i have be reading everyone comments how sonny is just standing next to her on stage not singing is cause she is super shy and got very bad stage fright and sonny told her his would be next to her on stage even if they are singing together or not just so she feels comfortable and she always looked at him never the audience. Sonny do say though in an interview with cher that sonny and cher was only meant to be a temporary thing and that when cher feel ready and comfortable enough to go out there by herself than sonny would of went behind the scene and be a producer and write and cher would be singing but his say that the fans wouldnt allow them to split and do they own things so they stay as sonny and cher cause his agree that they work great together cause i remember the guys saying to cher u think u can perform be yourself now and she looks at sonny and say maybe idk no aleast sonny next to me

Did Cher actually sing the low parts also ? or was this just to make an unusual performance ?
This is lip synched to the record. Cher sings almost always throughout. Sonny sings some of the lines in the verses alone, sings others with Cher in harmony, and sings still others in unison. In the chorus Sonny sings harmony on the "baby be friends with you."
Although they have sung this song together, the original recording and most early performances are Cher alone singing. Most people couldn’t believe she was singing the lower parts, but she’s a contralto. Her voice has actually gotten deeper in later years. But this song in particular isn’t that hard to sing as a woman.
@@kb_analytics Yes. I wish others would stop saying Sonny also sang on this song. This was and is Cher's solo performance and first solo hit.
far out
Bob Lefsetz brought me here.
Does Sonny actulaly sing half the lines here?
John R I don't believe so although there is a video of Sonny singing the song with Cher the single comes from Cher's solo album on Liberty and Cher can be heard quite clearly singing all the lines on that one. Sonny & Cher were on Atlantic / Atco records
+Martin Davies Sonny can be heard clearly singing the lower register parts. Cher is solo on the chorus but the rest is a call-and-response duet...first her, then him. I don't understand why Cher is credited solo for this record when it's so obvious. Maybe Sonny wanted to release this on Liberty (where Cher had a recording contract) to kick-start her solo career. Still, I think it would have made better sense to release this on Atco as "Sonny and Cher"...
John R Sonny never really planned to sing with Cher but she had terrible at age fright so that's why he was out on stage with her
@@digiman47 Sonny did not sing on this song. All Cher.
Only Cher sang on the original recording. It was her debut single, released under her name. She impersonated Sonny on the recording.
I CAN TELL NOW~SONNY HATED THE WHOLE WIG~HIS BODY LANUAGE ALMOST SAYS HE HATED HER WHOLE PROJECTION OF THIS hIPPY" THING~
He didn't, they were trend-setters of the time.
bob dylan cover
Cher sure grew to hate Sonny! Accused him of keeping her “a slave!”
A better cover than the byrds.
