This was their signature song. They sang it thousands of times and as you commented..this is the beginning.

Sonny worked with Phil Spector a lot, and Sonny wrote "Needles and pins" for Jackie DeShannon...Cher also sang backup vocals for various artist that Phil Spector produced (before Sonny and Cher) and the story is told that they kept telling Cher she was singing "too loud" and to "tone it down", this is when Phil Spector noticed what "a deep unique voice" Cher had, so he started having her sing for him and then Sonny and Cher first became "Caesar and Cleo" with their hit song "Baby don't Go", then they changed their name to "Sonny and Cher" and released "I Got you Babe"...

Sonny knew what Cher had. Cher has always given Sonny his due. I remember seeing them singing this, dressed like this and yes, in black and white. I feel so old! Thank you JK & Harri! I saw Cher in concert....best show ever!

Such beautiful, well-crafted song, so well performed at a time when they were really in love. Perfect.

"Little Man", "The Beat Goes On", "Baby Don't Go," "All I Ever Need Is You", "A Cowboy's Work Is Never Done", "Laugh At Me" are their greatest hits

There's no better version of this song than this!

She was 19 same age as me.

We ALWAYS watched the Sonny and Cher show, when baby Chastity came out and they sang this song at the end of the show… wonderful memories ❤❤❤😊😊

Harri, I appreciate you so much. I like the way you are so respectful of the wide range of artists you review. Thanks.

The song “I Got You Babe” was written and produced by Sonny Bono, who was also a songwriter and record producer for Phil Spector

This was their first single from their first album, "Look At Us" from 1965. It was Number 1 in the US, the UK and Canada. It sold 1 million copies and went gold. It was a defining recording of the early Hippy counter cultural movement and has been used in many TV shows and Movies. Great instrumentation and vocals made this delightful couple a big hit. Your right Harri, Sonny was working with Phil Spector at the time. Clever.❤ Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and JKClark. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

The Sonny and Cher Show was the program to watch for music way back before MTV and cable. They always look at each other with such love during this song. Cher is actually 19 here.

The song was written and produced by Sonny Bono. He definitely wrote the perfect pop song!

The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" premiered in August 1971, music, skits, guests. The show always ended with Sonny and Cher singing their big hit, "I Got You, Babe". Show ended in May of 1974.

They finally reunited on Late.Night.with David Letterman in 1987 to sing together once again. It was the last time before Sonny's death in 1998.

With all the commentary, nothing about Cher's outstanding vocals? This was the 1st time most of us heard her. Many were "dang, you hear that"? We knew she was going someplace from this first outing

October 10, 1965, Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Vancouver, Sonny and Cher. My first concert.

Oldie but a goodie. I was just noticing that Cher is dressed like she's going camping in the snow andin later yrs she is barely covered. 😀 ❤❤❤❤❤

My wife of 55 years now ... this was our song in the 60's ..

I love early Cher music!

When Sonny was killed in a skiing accident, twenty years after their divorce, Cher in tears admitted that without Sonny there never would have been a Cher. People always said he made a living off her talent.

This was the recessional song at our wedding. It makes me so happy every time I hear it.

I saw somewhere in the last day or so that Sonny Bono was something of a Spector disciple or protege. Good call on that Hari! Also we can hear Cher's voice ready to burst out on the scene.

And Cher just had a #1 Christmas song! She did a lot after leaving Sonny.

Harri, the Phil Specter observation of yours is quite astute. Sonny was a protégé of Phil Specter and Phil taught him a lot about recording and production. This song was written and produced by Sonny but I do not doubt that Phil influenced it somehow. Directly in the studio or at least in spirit. Some background- Sonny worked as a delivery person for a butcher / deli in Los Angeles. Phil's studio often ordered food and sandwiches from them, and Phil and Sonny became friends. Phil eventually took Sonny under his wings, and let him assist and work in Phil's studio. The rest, one might say, is history.

Sonny Bono. legendary. Cher 🪴🎶

I grew up with Sonny & Cher's music & their TV show. Sonny wrote their hits in the 60's including "Baby Don't Go", "I Got You Babe", "The Beat Goes On" & "Little Man". He also wrote the song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" which Cher recorded in 1966. Cher went on to have a big solo career.

JK Clark, I actually think this is the first S&C song on Harri’s channel. Fantastic! I have a soft spot for this duo as they came along when I was at the perfect age for pop tunes like this. Thanks for the great memory JK and Harri 🌺✌️

Sonny & Cher's signature song for sure. Nice one JK Clark. Thank you Harri.

Fun..remember when they sang and had a comedy series..Thanks,always love your reactions

FYI…Sonny started as Phil Spectors assistant with the idea that he would record Cher. Phil used Sonny and Cher as background on the Ronnets and Righteous Brothers but he would not record Cher as a solo…so Sonny learned and left and recorded he and Cher. At that time they had 5 top 10 hits on the charts at one time…and yes, they were married♥️

We chose this song to put in my Dad's 80th Birthday life video 📹 in the part where he met Mom ..it was just perfect! ❤

She was 19 here!

Classic #1 ❤

Backed by the L.A. studio band the Wrecking Crew, who were behind so many huge hits of the 1960s and early 1970s. The original B-side of the 7-inch (45 rpm) single is also a good tune, "It's Gonna Rain."

There used to be a show called the "Sonny and Cher show".

🥰🥰🥰 Classic!

After their divorce they didn’t speak to each other for many years. You should check out their reunion on Late Light with David letterman. You can search Sonny & Cher reunion on Letterman- I’ve got you babe.

Oh oh oh oh! This was the first album I ever owned! I received it for Christmas! What memories

I don’t know what was the cause of their break up, but they were so great together and you could tell that she’d loved Sonny. When she was asked to speak at Sonny Bono’s funeral, she broke down because even though they were separating, she still loved him.

They did eventually break-up, when they were still together, this was as real as it gets. I saw them on variety shows doing the song at like 10 years old and knew they were together.

His haircut looks like a court jester in a medieval morality play.

Senator Bono. Crazy.

Hello again, I think I know what you're looking for with that feeling of the connection they had between Sunday and share... With that in mind I highly recommend you listen to Little Man Very similar to the time era however it is in my mind's far better song and they are very cute With their deep connection

Sonny Bono worked for Phil Spector, that's probably how that happened.

I think she was 17 or 18 here.Sonny was her husband and they had a daughter together.

I dig Sonny and Cher! Grooviest duo!!🌻 It’s a tragedy about Bono’s death! 🥹 Watched their variety show all the time!! I thought Cher was beautiful. ☮️ 💟 Cher used to date Gene Simmons of KISS 💋

Wow, you have a great ear.

If you fancy a bit of a laugh, you should listen to the version Cher did with Beavis & Butthead in 1993.

Bono worked for Spector and learned from him earlier in his career, but Spector did not have anything to do with this song. Overall good call

Cher was 19 in 1965.

Sonny couldn't sing worth a lick, but wrote some good songs. Cher really had a wonderful voice.

Think Cher a teenager there

Watch the movie Groundhog Day, and you will be so sick of this song by the end, it’s not even funny.
