| | Sonny & Cher Biography |
 | | Sonny and Cher proved to be 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. |
 | | The first couple of singles by Cher and Sonny and 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. |
 | | He continued to represent his ex-wife's business interests, even after his subsequent remarriage (the name Sonny and Cher is trademarked), and was beginning to make a mark as a conservative Republican member of the California House delegation when he died in a skiing accident in 1998. |
