Sonny & Cher - Voice Your Choice

Sonny & Cher were the darlings of the mid-60s whose first hit single I Got You Babe became a staple for lovers everywhere, and has been played at countless weddings. This husband and wife duo began their career as background session singers for Phil Spector. They first recorded for Vault Records in 1963 as Caesar & Cleo, without any national chart success.

What a chart debut they had! I Got You Babe remained at #1 for three weeks and reached Gold Record status. In total, they appeared on the Billboard charts a total of twenty times from 1965 through 1973, with five of their songs becoming Top Ten hits.

This week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice spotlights Sonny & Cher with two of their other big hits for your votes: The Beat Goes On and Baby Don't Go. Which song is your favourite?

Come to the Voice Your Choice page and make your selection. The song with the greatest number of votes will get played on Hour 3 of next week's show.
