Love Cher's groovy moves to the beat.

Sonny was a smart man. Recognizing Cher's unique voice. Standing by his wife's side b/c Cher was 2 afraid by herself on stage. Writing popular hits. Being able to get them their own show. He went on to open his own very popular restaurant 'Bono's'. After that went into government. Exactly as his song states, Even after a half of century has gone by. "The Beat Goes On"....

Cher turned 77 today. Happy Birthday Cher! Oh how I wish I could step back in time. Sonny and Cher were magic together. He couldn't sing, but you never noticed. They both went on to great things, but never were they as good as they were together. And the beat goes on...

The best thing Sonny and Cher ever did, and I am not mocking what they did. They were far more a contribution to the whole 60s feel than people give them credit for. This song, to me, summed up the entire feel that was happening...that most of us couldn't really understand what this incredible energy was all about. This song rang out and said, "This is what's happening"! It was a form that people connected to. I remember people all happy when this song came out. All of a sudden the beatles and peace n love and psychedelia and mod and groovy all made sense. It was a vibe. Another song that did that was "Dancin in the streets" by Martha and the Vandelles. They were simple harmless groovy digestible yet hip songs.

I was a door man at the Grand Champions way back in the 1980's. Sonny showed up in a huge old Cadillac (Buick?) with a couple friends. And he was a darned good sort. Chatted with us, laughed, then took off and had dinner and came back and talked with us some more. Nothing earth shaking, he was just a good guy. I was sorry to hear when he died. He was a good man.

Written by Sonny Bono, it is an iconic song that you hear all the time in commercials. Hit the charts in January 67 when I was a freshman in HS. Great organ work here! Super lyrics by Sonny!

That bass riff from Carol Kaye is unreal and made this song fly.

How could you not love Cher she's down-to-earth she likes what she does and she loves what she does and she does it very well God bless you

I was two years old when this aired the first time and it was my FAVORITE SONG by the time I was a toddler of four...

[rayeason]

Heard it on the radio and back here watching this over and over. I am 63 and good memories from these two.

Gorgeous blue colors they’re wearing!!!

Life ends or is gone every dawn
To music and love we are drawn
Might be king queen or a pawn
The beat goes on an fish do spawn
Heart beat is music an life goes on

I was just 14 years old when this record hit the big-time. I remember us all thinking how exotic Cher was with her dark, dark hair, high cheek bones, and sultry style. She still mesmerizes. And that deep contralto voice! I get chills!

Sonny and Cher were such an integral part of the 60s and their iconic music still stands the test of time 50 years later!!!! Used to love to watch them playfully insult one another on their variety show!!! God this brings back such rich memories!!! RIP SONNY

[gaylet]

I love hearing their songs even today...AND my mom used to love them too. Happy Birthday Cher. Love you.

[WakerBrosEver]

Could just watch this over and over again in a loop. Terrific energy. Loved all their songs. This one and What Now My Love my favourites with Little Man & A Cowboy's Work Is Never Done close behind

[debbiebannister]

I love Sonny and Cher, always watched their show
