I think Cher was so very young and shy, she hadn’t quite found her voice yet. She was gorgeous!

She was so pretty before her surgery, unique looking

Aw, Cher always said about how shy she was and how she suffered bad stage fright during the early days with Sonny, and it really shows here, any opportunity to get the interviewer to talk to Sonny instead of her and not being able to look into the camera. In fact originally Cher was going to be a solo artist and Sonny being a part time record producer and song writer was going to manage her, but Cher was too scared at that point to sing alone. She only felt confident enough to sing if Sonny was by her side. That’s why they became Sonny and Cher. Even during live performances of her first solo recording, All I Really Wanna Do, even though he did nothing but stand there or sit there as she sang, he was next to her. His very presence was enough for Cher to come out of her shell. By the 70s, she no longer needed his support, she was confident and a star in her own right and he knew it, and hated it. It’s tragic their marriage broke down as a result, but his eventual death showed just how much Cher loved and cared about him, even right to his dying day. Her eulogy at his funeral was heartbreaking. He will forever be the known as the one who discovered the Goddess of Pop and presented her to the world. RIP Sonny Bono

Broke my heart when sonny passed. I would have loved to meet him.

Sony Bono was a very talented man.

And the rest like they say is history! Boy did they grew 😊

Imagine her knowing she would be relevant till now

Cher had a deeper voice then than she does now!

YOUNG FULL OF UNCONDITIONAL ENERGY AND AMBITION SONNY AND CHER❤

Sonny knew the music and show business well. He created, acted dumb and took the puns from Cher on their show which made it a success.

Sonny is a very smart and talented guy. He could do a lot of beautiful things if his inspiration remained with him.

Wow. Sonny and Cher kind of looked like the Carpenters here during their 60s era .before their style and image changed in the 70s. ❤️

You can see how different the times were because the interviewer wouldn’t put the microphone to Cher’s mouth when she spoke.

Cher’s body language at 1:05 says it all

❤

Cher's voice sounds so different and nasal here

king arthurs round table LOL that was so funny he actually said that to him

It’s hard to believe that’s the same girl to look at than the one on the Sonny & Cher show, let alone in the Turn Back Time video and again now. She’s reinvented herself more than Madonna!

a page boy lol

she said she was born in los angeles?

Most of their generation saw them as “straight” meaning not part of the hippie/party generation and by this interview they were basically washed up til the Sonny and Cher Show on CBS
