What a lovely thing to see. As a Cher fan, I’ve never seen the entire Sullivan appearance. It’s so cool to see a young fresh faced Cher. She was adorable
I remember sitting in the living room with my family watching their variety show as a young impressionable girl. I always thought she was so Beautiful with her gorgeous long jet black locs. They always ended the show with... "I've Got You Babe." I don't know what I miss most. Sitting in the living room with my family or The Sonny and Cher Variety Show. I guess I'd have to say, I really miss them both. Thank you for sharing! 💖
I greatly enjoyed the music of Sonny & Cher from Day One. But it wasn't until their variety show that I began to suspect the breadth of Cher's talent. And back in '65 I never _dreamed_ that she would have such staying power! An amazing and beautiful woman.
@@michaeltuz608 I got the privilege and the honor to seeing her in concert in 2019. At 72 years old she still sounded and looked amazing. What a phenomenal show! I would most definitely go to see her again. She honored Sonny at the concert. They put up a big black and white photo of Sonny. Cher was dressed in 60's attire. She had her hair just like she did in the clip fron the Ed Sullivan Show. They sang "I Got You Babe." It was sp perfectly done. I got so emotional, thinking back to the days when I was sitting in my living room watching the Sonny & Cher variety show. At that moment I had an even deeper respect for her. If you ever get the opportunity to see her... GO!! It was money well spent! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Had the pleasure of meeting Sonny Bono in Fresno back in the eariy 1990's. He was running for congress and stopped by at the TV station for a publc affairs show. A great gentleman. He shared with me his days working for Phil Spector...his early days with Cher. A day I'll never forget.
What a fantastic memory! I would've been star struck for sure. Thank you for sharing! 💖

He was a guy who certainly didn’t have to run for Congress, but he did and then Sonny went to DC. And then there was the fatal skiing accident. I know some people thought the duo’s success was all because of Cher, but who knows what Sonny could have achieved?
Takes me back to when I was ten years old! Loved Sonny & Cher from the very begining; so upbeat, such "feel good" music, such positive energy. They always seemed so genuine and so in love. They made me feel hopeful, like life was cto be enjoyed. Thanks for posting!
So, so True! The memories... aren't they Grand? These videos make you feel like your in another place in time!! Just like that... the videos ends and reality hits you! Your back in 2021... and the ride has ended! Thank you for sharing ! 💖
Cher talked about how Ed Sullivan and the producers found them be too edgy for their tastes at the time. This is why you see him wheel them off quickly at the end (her words in a later interview). But the network couldn't deny their popularity, which is why they still got invited.
She had one of greatest voices I've heard to to this day. I don't understand how people don't see how overblown she rapidly became. I can't listen to her later stuff.
I clearly recall seeing Sonny & Cher (should be Cher & Sonny, right) on Ed Sullivan when they broke into the public eye. Was at Grandpa Abe’s apartment, likely for Friday night dinner. I was like 14. Sorta thought they sucked, but was fascinated by how they could capture attention. So hokey….
cher is unrecognisable now. goodness knows how her heart has survived with all that anaesthetic being pumped through her veins. she is definitely not human. that aside, her voice is incredible. i believe she was once friends with ronnie spector and tina turner. i wonder if they all keep in touch over facetime :p
Great video, except a little post production and uploading a 720p version would be an improvement. Cher looked and sounded terrific. They gave the Ray Bloch Orchestra a nice rest by singing to recorded instrumental tracks. Was this show recorded in or broadcast live from California?
@@MostlyBrenda Thanks for the information. I can only imagine the immense size and cost of of those color TV cameras that were brought in back then. I wonder what the size of the audience was there in comparison to the theater in NYC.
@@shave-a-thon3415 Not sure. Wiki lists ESS theater as capacity of 457. Seems low, but maybe it was changed when refurbished for Letterman? The four Television City studios were only 300 capacity. Later they added some larger ones. I think the stage is bigger in New York.

Why can't I Be like any guy? Why do they try To make me run? Son of a gun, now. What do they care About the clothes I wear? Why get their kicks From making fun, yeah.
They were a couple years ahead of the hippies. Sonnys fur vest was somewhat controversial when they first came onto the scene. They even got kicked out of a restaurant for the clothes they wore and it inspired Sonny to write his hit record Laugh At Me.
They were ahead of their time - started dressing like hippies in 1965 two years before the counterculture movement went mainstream. They were in the news a lot that year for getting tossed out of hotels and restaurants all the time
Without Sonny there would be no Cher because when they first started out Sonny was really the only person that recognized Chers talent because Cher was self conscious about her voice. He then brought her in to record and he produced and wrote all of her early hits
I read where he became a huge womanizer after they hit stardom. She couldn’t take it anymore and asked for a divorce in 1974. Sad. How anyone could not be happy with a beautiful wife like her I have no idea. You can easily see in this video that she was infatuated with him.
Where did you read that? More like record mogul David Geffen broke up Sonny and Cher. At the height of their popularity in the early 1970s, he convinced Cher that she was too good for Sonny and should go solo. Even though Geffen is gay, he seduced Cher to lure her away from Sonny.
What a lovely thing to see. As a Cher fan, I’ve never seen the entire Sullivan appearance. It’s so cool to see a young fresh faced Cher. She was adorable

@@brucekuehn4031 Sonny was the driving force of the duo. He wrote and produced their hits.
Cher, just enjoying herself. Awesome.
Finally the complete medley. Superb
A real Sony and Cher Classic song ! Love the song ! RIP Sono Bono
No matter what Cher wore it always looked beautiful on her❤️ I love this video and it’s aesthetic. I love the late sixties 💕☮️
Was magic in the air then….
Cher and Sonny were so good together!
Have been looking for a live version of “But you’re mine” for ages. It’s one of my favourites🤩
Takes me back to when I was ten years old!

Whoa you actually live in the 60s?
So sweet and charming! Love it!
The greatest love of her life...Sonny
They were fantastic and a complete breath of fresh air in to a stale music industry
The music in the early 60s and the rest of the decade was anything but stale.
@@a.salmon8193 Yes, a great decade, ultimately ruined by the drug culture. Good things always tend to go too far.
Любовь просто выплёскивается из их глаз, улыбок, заряжая смотрящих на них.
you wake up..one day and 40-50 years have passed.......
Yes... In a blink of an eye 😍
We're the lucky ones!
Refreshing to see the entire medley posted. Kudos to the ES channel!
Yes, hopefully they keep doing this! It's so much better than just getting parts of performances in bits and pieces.
Ed Sullivan was a bit of a stiff, but his eye for talent was unmatched. So, so many great acts graced his stage.
He was sure good at noticing who was at the top of the charts...
@@FilmBuffBros He had some charts ... and he looked at them. 😎
@@FilmBuffBros It was a variety show. There were other acts besides musical ones. In other words, acts not on any charts.
Cher talked about how Ed Sullivan and the producers found them be too edgy for their tastes at the time. This is why you see him wheel them off quickly at the end (her words in a later interview). But the network couldn't deny their popularity, which is why they still got invited.
I mean he had a very short neck
Y Cher aún conquistando a las nuevas generaciones ... increible
Back in the day when Chér was known as a youngster she’s 78 years old now musical legend
We will always love you 👍🙏❤️
"Where do you Go" ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Cher for u and Sonny and sum memories B4 the hate set in .. Merry Christmas
Totally awesome!!!!
how did i find this in 1 hour amazing
Where do you go ❤❤❤ une de mes favorites bravo Sonny pour ce merveilleux titre !!
Awesome ⚘💖💕💑🎸🎤🎼🎶🎵💍💞
True love 💘
Amazing ,greatest shedevr forever !
Cher's outfit still looks super cool all these years later. Sonny looks like he got mugged by his closet.
😄😄😄
Cher actually wanted the vest
Cher looked better then
@@JustTurned61 She looks rather synthetic and waxy, now. 🤢
I like Sonny's 70s outfits.
Looking forward to this!!!
I hate to be a downer, but what are we gonna do without her? I can't begin to imagine a world without Cher.
I hope she lives as long as her mom did. But you're right, that will hit very hard. I loved Cher since I was a little girl.
Cher's voice got deeper over the years.
Booze 🍻 and cigarettes 🚬
@@xxcrump2640 she doesn’t drink or smoke and hardly ever has in her life..
RINO PLASTIC PROCEDURES....UGH.!!!
@@xxcrump2640drugs were never her thing. Nor booze and cigarettes. Everyone’s voice deepens with age.
Her drug dealer has a different story to tell
❤😊its fun to watch them ,they looked like they where having alot of fun on stage and it shows ,,love those 2 ❤
Cher era e continua lindíssima ❤️
Can you imagine going to HS with either one of them, back then, and see this on TV then???......wow!!!!
Sonny was probably 30 years old when this aired.
quelle classe !👏💓
I loved them ever since forever.
Can’t wait!
They made good music together for a long time and there music still good
BRaVa and gorgeous Cher Bravo
Song was released in the 1970's when their TV show started. Reminds me of my high school days, and the opening of the Mohawk Mall that was torn down.
She had one of greatest voices I've heard to to this day. I don't understand how people don't see how overblown she rapidly became. I can't listen to her later stuff.
Самоё лучшее время - красивые ,влюблённые...
This was to begin at 8PM -- seems we're running late!
Aloha! Wonderful!
O Sonny é um grande exemplo de quem não cantava nada mas teve muita sorte!💰💰💰
He was a good songwriter he wrote most of their hits
Cher owns the stage to the point where it's her show, not Ed Sullivan's. I don't know if any other performer on his show ever achieved that.
Sonny & Cher-Cher rhymes with blur :-) in Ed's unique pronunciation :-)
And that guy in U2 doesn't know how to say Bono. It's been Boh-no to me since Sonny and Cher came along, not Bah-no.
wow. . . . .
Fantastic very
More COMPLETE medleys. Replace the incomplete ones you've done already.
I'm not going to forget you, just like you're not going to forget me.
Adoro
Sorry to hear that Cher’s mother, Georgia Holt passed away just a couple of days ago on the 10th December🙏
If only that “youngster” knew the 60 years of fame that lay ahead for her.
For as "square" as Ed Sullivan seems to be, he was cool as all get out booking them, the Beatles, Elvis. He was a hip dude!

Sonny Bono from Detroit, Michigan
soon it all fades
Too bad too she was better then
Oo mama
Hi everyone
'these 2 youngsters Sonny and Shurr ' hahaha
cher is unrecognisable now. goodness knows how her heart has survived with all that anaesthetic being pumped through her veins. she is definitely not human. that aside, her voice is incredible. i believe she was once friends with ronnie spector and tina turner. i wonder if they all keep in touch over facetime :p
She was better then
Cher was only 19 here
Great video, except a little post production and uploading a 720p version would be an improvement. Cher looked and sounded terrific. They gave the Ray Bloch Orchestra a nice rest by singing to recorded instrumental tracks. Was this show recorded in or broadcast live from California?
Yes, broadcast live from Television City in LA. They were converting the New York theater to color in Sept-Oct 1965. ESS did 6 shows from LA.
@@MostlyBrenda Thanks for the information. I can only imagine the immense size and cost of of those color TV cameras that were brought in back then. I wonder what the size of the audience was there in comparison to the theater in NYC.
@@shave-a-thon3415 Not sure. Wiki lists ESS theater as capacity of 457. Seems low, but maybe it was changed when refurbished for Letterman? The four Television City studios were only 300 capacity. Later they added some larger ones. I think the stage is bigger in New York.
Cher was possibly 19 years old here.
Yes she was.

No I think most people know sonny and Cher no sonny no Cher for sure
Come one. Im in my 30s and know who Cher is
Congressman Sonny Bono.
Cher is now during his late wife for record royalties
I meant sueing

Sonny looks so silly! This is cute though.
HELLO!
Sonny died tragically in a skiing accident i believe.
If Sonny was going for the caveman look, he definitely succeeded.
Very FUNNY!
Why can't I
Be like any guy?
Why do they try
To make me run?
Son of a gun, now.
What do they care
About the clothes I wear?
Why get their kicks
From making fun, yeah.
What year was this, and how old was Cher here? Amazing
She was 19
1965
Cher is a Highlander woman
Sonny is dressed like a hippy in 1965. Interesting.
They were a couple years ahead of the hippies. Sonnys fur vest was somewhat controversial when they first came onto the scene. They even got kicked out of a restaurant for the clothes they wore and it inspired Sonny to write his hit record Laugh At Me.
Yeah... And as Sonny was laughing all the way to the bank!! $🤑$
They were ahead of their time - started dressing like hippies in 1965 two years before the counterculture movement went mainstream. They were in the news a lot that year for getting tossed out of hotels and restaurants all the time
For some it started even before '65.
Their fashion inspired the hippie fashion
cher carried their career
Sonny made them he wrote and produced the songs no sonny no cher she even said it herself she didn't even want to sing without him
dead wrong, sonny wrote and produced their hit songs
@@QueenFan12 that's what I said he did
@@QueenFan12 sorry I didn't mean you I made a mistake

Neither one of them graduated High School

That’s supposed to be funny.
Oh now that was cold. Real cold shame on you

What is that??
So, could Cher be any cuter? She's 18 here.

And live! Incredible thing. Garbage now. The caring in Bonos face. Today's male is apathetic.
Or angry and narcissistic.
@JillKJV and worst of all perfectionist.
She looks so much like Chastity here…
sonny looks drunk
Sonny had zero talent
wtf? he discovered cher arranged the songs wrote some of them was agreat staight man and producer and promoter but you r right
He had all the talent- he married Cher, didn't he?
Dodo he wrote the songs and produced them he made Cher no sonny no Cher
THAT WOMAN SHOULD HAVE NEVER EVER CHANGED HER ORIGINAL NATURAL BORN BEAUTY.......
WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE THAT SHE DID..!!!😔😔
