I’ve been lucky to know Cher for 40 years. And she is a warm, wonderful person. And yes, shy. I regret not ever having the opportunity to meet Sonny. He seems like a really sweet guy. Rest his soul. 🙏
Very cool story with cher ....... I miss sonny he seamed like a great trust worthy guy..I feel bad for Chaz losing him, they seamed so close..And Chaz seams to take after sonny in my opinion..
Sonny had a classic SMILE too !! The Biz' killed " Sonny & Cher" ...I loved them as a kid in the 70's ! She was so fine to me and my friends who were just 8 in 1971 when the 1st show came on CBS !..... GREAT, GREAT ! TIMES 4 sure !!
Sonny didn't know what their connection was or why it was so strong whenever they were together ! Sonny & Cher no doubt were a match made in HEAVEN 2 bring us laughter & Joy 🇮🇹 BRAVO
Sonny hankering after the 60’s sound was interesting and his modesty is so refreshing. To be able to write just one tune that is listened to and loved 60 years later is a gift but this guy wrote quite a few of that calibre. Rest in peace Sonny.
I've seen a lot of interviews on UA-cam with Sonny Bono & you can tell he really likes people & enjoys talking to them. When he & Cher were doing their show in the 1970's, he would frequently jump off stage during their banter & mingle some with the audience before jumping back up on stage. I read an interview that Cher did in November 2018 where she is promoting her Broadway play "The Cher Show". The interviewer asked her about all the men she been with over the years & she said that the one she misses & loves the most is Sonny & that "if he were to walk through that door right now, we would be Sonny & Cher in about 2 seconds" . I thought that was pretty cool of Cher to still have good thoughts of him even 21 years after his death.
@@jeffreyzeiss1326 As both of them have said, they had a relationship that no one will ever understand & that they didn't really understand themselves. There are a lot of interviews on YT with them, both singularly & together, where they did say nice things about each other after the divorce & if one had a problem; all they had to do was pick up the phone & the other would be there. There's a lot of videos on YT that you can research of their after divorce comments including The Mike Douglas Show, Dinah, The Tonight Show, etc. where they are nice to each other. My original comment wasn't a Sonny vs. Cher because I'm of the era of Sonny & Cher. I just wanted it known that Cher, in various interviews over the last several decades & shown on YT, also talked good about him too and not just after his death.
If what she said were true..why did she divorce 🤔 Sonny and not take vows seriously..the Good and not so good in life and marriage..work out problems.. Grow up..mature He was tye reasons and business man and intelligence behind Cher's success..
This looks like the pilot. Wow, what he says about functioning as a pair and becoming an individual and the auto-professionalism of the performer is really insightful.
Ladies and Gentlemen Mayor Salvatore Phillip Bono! 👏👏👏 (Big Audience Applause Break) Congratulations on your big win Mayor Bono! Now, let me spend the rest of the 28 minutes I have with you asking you questions about Cher and Sonny & Cher and The Sonny & Chair Show, that went off the air a decade ago... It's fun to see the Legacy Media has not changed a wink in over 50 years. The Beat Goes On is right, indeed. The same beat that many fell asleep to a long time ago. The alarm is ringing. When will people wake up? ☮❤😊☯️
Umm no she was in love but he was a womanizer and controlled her and her career he had a contract with her that she could not break she was trapped with him
He became a good looking celebrity and he cheated on her all the time. He just couldn't stop. Then he tried to take all the money they made instead of dividing it. She was really hurt and mad and I'm sure that's what motivated her behavior.
Sonny made his own breaks, he wasn’t good looking, he wasn’t a great singer, the songs he wrote were simple, three chord songs, but they worked. His genius was he could reinvent himself as the times changed. I enjoy listening to his interviews.
ogosh, he's totally lying. Cher and Chaz have said that he always had women on the side, many women, and he's surprised? He had no idea of the divorce until the very day Cher told him? C'mon, that's malarkey.
I think the shock he's talking about is when she left him in Nov. '72 in Vegas & went to San Francisco with guitarist Bill Hamm whom she was seeing at the time.
@@tpajay ohhh yes you could be right. Who knows what goes on behind closed mansion gates, huh? He had another woman living with him in one of the "wings". I like them better no knowing. :(
Here he is acting all innocent 😇 - how could he treat her so badly - not even acknowledge her in a 50/50 split - and be living with other women !!! - who was this guy ! ……
Sonny was a domineering partner! And serial cheater!!! With their renewed success, came the same negative behavior patterns that were often seen in Sonny during their album selling days. Cher felt unable to control anything in the relationship, as her husband returned more and more to his domineering and controlling ways and bulldozed her with his decision making. The fame seemed to get into his head and he believed that their success had more to do with his actions than hers. His constant womanizing, cheating, and controlling took its toll and Cher finally called it quits. In an interview Cher was asked if she left him for someone else, to which she replied “l left Sonny for another woman, myself “.
Was he really though?!….he had a plank at the Democratic Convention of 1968. Son was camellion… if the Mayoral position in Palm Spring would have been for a Democrat then that’s what he would have been. The master of reinventing oneself .

& Yes! Sonny was great in the original John Water's Hairspray. Sonny was multi talented & a million dollar smile & personality. I miss the guy!
Sonny had a classic SMILE too !! The Biz' killed " Sonny & Cher" ...I loved them as a kid in the 70's ! She was so fine to me and my friends who were just 8 in 1971 when the 1st show came on CBS !..... GREAT, GREAT ! TIMES 4 sure !!
The Beat Goes On is as relevant today as it was 55+ years ago. Astounding!
Sonny didn't know what their connection was or why it was so strong whenever they were together ! Sonny & Cher no doubt were a match made in HEAVEN 2 bring us laughter & Joy 🇮🇹 BRAVO
What magic Sonny & Cher had together to make america happy!
You spelled Magick wrong.
That Letterman moment was national news the next day it remains an excellent watch to this day at how special it was.

She did nothing but badmouth him pretty much since they got divorced until he died and then she acted like the sad Widow

The one with the brains

Celine Dion and Rene Angelil
He was really in love with her but she wasn't in love with him that much. Sad. 🤔
Sounds like Cher's M.O.
Umm no she was in love but he was a womanizer and controlled her and her career he had a contract with her that she could not break she was trapped with him
He became a good looking celebrity and he cheated on her all the time. He just couldn't stop. Then he tried to take all the money they made instead of dividing it. She was really hurt and mad and I'm sure that's what motivated her behavior.

Screwed around, had affairs all over the place and didn't know his wife was unhappy in their relationship?..He had to be kidding or re-wrote history!!

@@DebbieBlanke I think with all our faults as human beings ; its always been easy to see : Sonny was a good soul.
If she kept forgiving him and letting it slide over and over maybe it was a surprise to him on some level ?!

What a shame he was a Republican.
