There are situations today's youth would feel similar about as you do for them, that is as far as newer artists/musicians/etc. It's so much more complex now with social media, TH-cam, tiktok, and etc. Really parasocial relationships are even more of a thing now than they ever were with how cameras are so accessible now. I'm 36, born 87, I've learned about Sonny & Cher and I get what you're saying. They were a strong act but they were more than that. What they did was something big for the time. I assure you that enjoyment you got exists still for those younger than me and even my age group. It's not lost ❤
@@Danniedorito Media was so limited in those days you were stuck with broadcast TV, VHS, or movies not much else. I remember when this was on late night, I was 20 years old get home from work about 10pm stay up watch late night and go to bed. Sonny and Cher were mostly disco years also late mid to late 1960's so people today who were fans in their late 70's. Sonny and Cher had a very public divorce everyone was surprised to see them perform again. Neither one really could do what they were able to do together. Sonny was 28 years old when he hooked up with Cher who was only 16 years old. That's why later did their TV show she looks amazing she is so young 24 years old.
They were an iconic duo and helped to transform music/entertainment! It was sad what came to light after their divorce but they were able to rise above and reunite for what became their last performance together and produced this amazing piece of both television and music history! Absolutely an INCREDIBLE/AMAZING performance! Thank you for posting this awesome piece of history!!! ❤❤
They loved each other right to the end. Even after they were divorced. She was so upset when Sonny was killed skiing. She’s always said if it weren’t for Sonny she wouldn’t have had the career she did. RIP Sonny
Saw Cher sing this in concert a couple of years ago. She said she normally doesn't sing this in concert but decided to do it because it was going to be her last tour. She sang it with Sonny on the screen. Touching, sweet, awesome tribute.
the fact that even after they divorced and after his death she still loves him and i am sure he still loved her it's nice to see a genuine love that never faded even if they didn't last as a couple
Me too except I was 6 at the time and I remember begging my Mom to let me stay up to watch them on the Sonny and Cher show and my Mom would let me some nights ❤ I adored them ❤
@@robertogonzalestheworm4936 you didn't notice that my auto correct changed Cher to Cherry, did you? I just caught it. You have a nice day running around social media looking for things to snipe at people about.
Thank you David Letterman for bringing Sonny and Cher together for that one last time. Little did we all know what a precious moment in time it was and what a truly nice thing you did
How true! I start crying each time I watch this video ( lost count of how many times I have watched it!)! I read how their was barely a dry in the audience watching this & Chasity, who was there to, sobbed watching her ( now his as Chas) parents sing this together! Such an iconic moment & I never tire of watching it & the obvious love they had for one another! “May Sonny Rest In Peace!” ♥️
Sonny looked like he was holding back his emotions at the end. a song they shouldn't ever sing with anyone else. well Cher shouldn't sing with anyone else.
I was going to comment when I saw yours and it was almost exactly what I was going to say. I've always said that if there was someone that you once loved there will always be a part of you that still loves that person. If there isn't then it was never real love.
@@bigbilltoady412 I watched an interview with Cher & she said that when that she could never turn Sonny down for anytime when they were working together.
She robbed Sonny and everyone knew it. He died in an accident and she profited from that too. He left music and became a Congressman for Christ sakes. He was the brains.
I’ve been to two Cher concerts in recent years. She always sings a duet of “I Got You Babe” with Sonny on video. She gets emotional still. She really loved him.
I saw her in 2020 right before the world ground to a halt and before she did the duet, she said "I debated for years whether or not to do this song because I didn't know if it would be too emotional. But then I said 'B**** you are 500 years old, just do it.'" I was sobbing by the end of the song
David Letterman, thank God you did this!! I don't know if today's audience gets it, but "this" was what the 70's gave to us old fogies. And, tho it's far from perfect..... it's perfect.
@@mariahmueller579 They broke up because he was so controlling and she was too young when she hooked up with him and she didn't really know who she was. He actually had a business arrangement where basically he got 65% and she got 35%. I think in time she forgave him because her career continued and grew immensely and she realized that at the end of the day even though he might not have been fair when she first started out she wouldn't even be anywhere ti start without him. From what I read he really loved her and was sorry in the end for what he had done. I think in this clip you see why they fell in love to begin with.
@Sophiedopey98 People seem to forget that Cher had her own flings according to various accounts. It was reported by various people on the movie set "Chastity" that Sonny wrote & produced , Cher was seeing her lead male co-star. When she left Sonny in Nov 1972 at a Vegas hotel, she was with their lead guitarist Bill Hamm. They both made mistakes in life (who hasn't...). Cher said in a Nov. 2018 interview promoting The Cher Show play on Broadway that of all the men she's been with over the decades, she loves & misses Sonny the most & if he were to walk through that door right now, "we would be Sonny & Cher again in about 2 seconds". There are several interviews on TH-cam over the years where they both have said they still love the other. As Sonny once said "just not the marrying kind". Bottom line: These 2 were great together no matter what obstacles they had to deal with!!! We watched them as a family affair when their show was a hit in the 1970's. Our family now watch the shows on DVDs.
@Sophiedopey98 Cher was with someone as well, not to mention she has said in interviews that she was completely fine with him having another woman in the house. That is "worked out" for them at the time. Lol
I've been watching Sonny and Cher videos. I grew up on the Sonny and Cher comedy hour. I see in this last duet (emotional) that Cher loved him more because her eye glances were a bit longer than his. He always couldn't keep his eyes of of her. I miss Sonny! I do. Her, not so much! He was a great man. Sonny made Cher! What has she done since that tragic accident? Put Chaz transition on national TV for the world to see and now nothing for them both since then.
For a brief moment in time the 60's came back.... They clearly still had strong feelings for each other. Couldn't remove the smiles from their faces with a belt sander ☺️
There was a love vibe that was never again the same. But at the time, turmoil of the race riots when King was assassinated, the vietnam war , the assassination of the Kennedy's, etc.
Barbara Lee Interesting that you mentioned both of those Couples ‘cause those 2 divorces really shook my little world. I still feel like I grew up in Norman Rockwell’s Little Hometown, and it seemed to me that ‘Divorce’ was virtually an unheard of thing the whole time I grew up, until I left to go off to College. But, seeing those two Couples, who seemed (on TV) to be SO in love that nothing could ever break their marriages apart…actually dissolve their marriages & FAMILIES (‘Cause each Couple even had a Child & ,…that should’ve been enough reason all by itself to work things out),…I think made me realize that if THEY couldn’t make marriage work, then what little change did the rest of us have! Oddly, I’ve gone through 2 divorces in my own life. I think I’m gonna blame Ricky & Cher for all my failures, & heartache! 😩😜😉😁
@Anastasia Pavlova and both women were very ungrateful especially Lucy. Now she's heralded as a pioneer for feminists HA! CANT WATCH HER ANYMORE UNFUNNY
Janet Montgomery I am so sorry. My husband is 13 years older and I cannot imagine the pain you are going through. I am fearful of losing him. I hope you have support around you.
@Anastasia Pavlova завистница! Если это дуэт, то не он её сотворил, а оба друг друга, иначе Шер не преуспела бы в разных амплуа, особенно, на Бродвее. Не надо умалять её заслуги, особенно, её потрясающе-низкий голос и невероятный вокал. I'm disappointed with your comment.
I am a Boomer so grew up with them. From the beginning Sonny was so happy in love with Cheryl and she him. Seeing this so many years later did have me tearing up because they were emotional, especially Sonny. He was the nicest man. He just was special. They were much loved.
I met Sonny Bono once at his restaurant in Beverly Hills. This was back in the mid 80's. He autographed the paper napkin-rings which had "Bono's" printed on them for my sister and I. He was a very nice man. He had some delicious pasta recipes too! Most people remember Sonny for his 10 Gold Records, for me it's the pasta....LOL. RIP Mr. Bono.
this is trivial for the youtube universe, but for those of us whose generation this is. it's very moving. if you know their story, and see this vid, how can they not be soul mates. good, bad, new, old - these two are comfortable with each other!
Took the words right out of my mouth! Forever thanks to David Letterman for making it happen, one of the all-time great moments on the all-time great talk show.
As a low voiced woman, seeing someone like Cher really gives me inspiration. Not all women have to have high pitched fairy voices in order to sound pretty, and Cher is an exemplar of that statement
@@tenacioustrees.8737 Yes he understood that you weren't talking about their looks. What he ment was, that it helps that she looks gorgeous, a beautiful woman with a great body, so with that looks the voice comes good. But if a woman looks lets say bad and then has a deep voice as well, it's really BAD.
Yes I agree with you I talked with him once too in west hollywood years ago when he had his own resterant in west hollywood called 'bonos" you remember that? He's the nicest guy when I tell people who's the nicesest celebrity I ever met I say sonny bono!
I can totally see that. And even though Cher shot into ridiculous heights of SuperStardom, American Icon status, and likely has a phalanx of security around her at all times, I suspect she's very "real" and "down to earth" in person. I wish Sonny hadn't had that awful accident. He was doing great things, and had so much more to give to this country we all love.😥❤💙
The trouble with having a soul mate is no matter how much you love and respect each other, you can’t always live together. Sonny and Cher, eternally soul mates, that had more love and respect for each other than we will ever have. RIP Sonny.🙏❤️
I was lucky my parents got along and were "soulmates" for 43 years. My mom passed about 7 months ago. My parents favorite thing to to together was just to sit and talk or my dad would sit paying his guitar and my mom would read the newspaper. Very low key easy going. They still held hands when they walled at the park or when we were on vacation at the beach. My dad was worried my mom would fall because she had dizzy spells. It was cute he was shy about it. Music like this from the classic rock era brought them together and they later on realized they were at a lot of the same concerts in the NYC area before they met.
@@mattmammone2338 My parents first started dating in London during WW2 at 14 years old, although they’d been friends for several years before. They got together after my Dad’s then girlfriend was killed alongside half her family when their whole street was taken out by doodlebug bombs from an air raid during the first few days of the London blitz. I can’t imagine what my then 14 year old Dad went through expecting to pick his girlfriend up for a trip to the swimming baths only to find a crater of rubble where her street had been. He instead spent that day helping volunteers sift through the rubble for bodies. There were only 4 survivors, 17 were killed. Among them were Dad’s girlfriend, her sister, mother and grandmother. After my parents got together they were married for 64 years until my Mum passed away suddenly. Dad was inconsolable, he was with us for another ten years but he missed his sweetheart every passing moment. I’m happy that they’re together again. Some people are exceptionally lucky to find their soul mate, I haven’t in this lifetime….maybe next time. Time is but a grain of sand.
I understand what you mean by soulmate. A girl I went with in 1976 for 14 months was my soulmate. She said I was hers. Despite this, she chose to move on. That was OK. Heartbreaking at the time, yes. Through a mutual friend I would get pieces of information of her life and she about me. Now, all these years later, she's in her 60s and so am I. Being I'm retired now, I sometimes wonder about her life and the family she raised. Still in some odd way, I still feel a connection. No, I'm not still in love with her, of course not. It's just a connection I can't explain.
This signified the end of an era for a lot of people. For some, the end of their childhood. I loved Sonny and Cher . And Chastity (Chaz) was such a sweetie. RIP Sonny Bono.
Letterman did us all a big favor bringing them back to us one last time. Funny how Cher blew the lines but it gave it something special. Sonny was a smart guy in the business back in the day. Created a super star.
I remember watching their comedy hour show as a kid. My whole family gathered around the set to view it. That actually sent good chills through my body. And it put a smile on my face
How do you know it was the "last time" they sang together? Their appearance on the Letterman Show happened ELEVEN YEARS before Sonny's death! I'm sure at SOME point in those following 11 years that they sang together! I'm not saying they were going around singing together, but I'm sure at least ONE time in those 11 years they sang together at least once more.
A once in a lifetime event. It was very tough on Sonny if you watch real carefully you can see Sonny tearing up and Cher trying to pull him together. Still on ❤️😳❗
They both thought there was time left to eventually say all the things they needed to say to eachother. Its easy to stay mad at someone when you think they'll always be there, be there to eventually say you're sorry, be there to eventually make amends, be there to eventually say I love you. When Sonny died that all vanished and you were able to see how Cher was broken up about it. Their daughter at the time said; When I told my mom that dad had died, my mom (Cher) became almost hysterical, something I never expected, and for the first time I realized just how much they really loved eachother.
I think it's on of those moments , you cant help being moved by , real love only happens once or twice in a lifetime …….and of course real love never dies , forget that Sonny loved Cher , I think its fairly obvious she loved him back ….which is why we cant help but smile and grin when we watch this
May 29,2019. My first time seeing this. Letterman did make a lot of his female guest cry.lot refused to ever go back on his show. Was nice to see this, Sonny always seemed to be a nice person rip Sonny Bono .🌹💐.n.j.
When Sonny was killed, Cher stopped what she was doing abroad, and immediately flew back for his funeral. I don't think they were ever unattached to each other. It was Sonny who enabled Cher to overcome her stage fright. Sad they parted...
They may not have still been in love with each other, but you could still see the love, respect and admiration that they still had for each other after all of those years.
This is an iconic moment in entertainment TV. Sonny couldn't really sing, but he put his heart into this. Cher didn't want to do this, but Sonny directed her as she's flopping lines and singing beautifully. In the end, you see a couple that's not over each other and enjoying the nostalgia.
pretty sure it's sonny who drops the line, Cher mistakenly thinks it was her line, because Sonny didn't start in, and they recover and mess up the verse afterward
Thanks for your opinion. Some of us thought Sonny blended very well with Cher. You can disagree, it's still, so far, a free world. But nobody would've heard of Cher if it hadn't been for Sonny. And he was also one hot-looking handsome man!!
Evidently, you are not from the 70's? That's how Sonny sings, he's unique and somehow it just works for him. They are a dynamic couple that no one will ever be able to duplicate.
Can everyone in here just call a spade a spade, and take a look at how unbelievably HIGH both of them are. That being sed, what do you expect for 2 people who have lost there "chemistry" and are blitzed out there minds???? Oh that's right, this right here is a good example
I am very fortunate to have grown up in this era. These classics play and i drift away back to my carefree days with my friends though sadly some are gone
I think sometimes in life two people meet who have a special bond. And I believe that even if it doesn't work out there's something that will never go away between them. Unfortunately we aren't smart enough to realize it before we destroy it for life. It's a shame. Many of you know what I mean.
mgebi1 Yes, i know exactly what you mean. Am I weeping for Sonny and Cher, or am I remembering what I once had and lost. Maybe it doesn't really matter.......
Laura White life sometimes doesn't work the way we want or think we do. I know others who would probably change what they did. And then life seems to speed up and leave us with memories and some heartache. I feel robbed in a way that l can't go back. But what we do makes us what we are.still I sure wish I was less foolish when I was young. Now it's hard to accept some things and still try to go on with a smile. I do have people that I am thankful for now. Life ain't easy and no turning back. They had something special.
mgebi1 How I wish I could rewind my life. I would do it in a heartbeat. I've been having a real pity party today, listening to old songs. "On My Own", "Yesterday When I was Young" , Barry White's "What We Had, We Had", etc. It isn't easy growing older and living with regrets. So many promises..... Take care and thanks for responding.
Laura White hey I have those days. Music is like the story to my life. Sometimes you just need the blues. But there's the bittersweet ones as well. I keep some music lists here as we as my computer. I have a catagory of happy songs to help the (pity) days. But when you have a really bad day better ones will come. Sometimes one good song can change your mood slowly to better stuff. Other times just listen to those blues and be thankful for the memories. I don't know. How about Kodachrome Paul Simon, or newer love so Sarah Barelles. Even some old fifth dimension stuff. Like drink my daddy's wine. A few I use. Sometimes one happy song can lead to others. But I definitely understand you. Good luck.
Laura White You know I just realized you mention (yesterday when I was young) and I thought of that song a few weeks ago. Most people around me haven't a clue to that song. I remember when Roy clark sang it and my father loved it. I didn't fully understand what it meant to him. I have no doubt now. And I've always had good comprhension of songs. Ok I'm done.
This song has such rhymthm to or a particular beat that even the band players do like body sway each time its like they really get into it. Its a love song with meaning.
I remember watching this episode and thinking wow how lucky I was to see the two of them singing together live, made me smile through the whole song😃Aloha from Makawao,Maui🤙🏽
Such a wonderful and magical moment. "I Got You Babe" was my wife's and my favorite song to dance to in 1969 when we first met and all the way until we married in early 1972 along with Simon & Garfunkel's Sound of Silence and To Love Somebody by the Bee Gees. Great times and great memories for this now 64 year old man. Where have all the years gone? What a golden era we lived in! Turbulent times, changing times, hard times but we endured and now we have been married 46 years. Grandparents now and tired but in my mind it is still 1969.
So sad Sonny died so young. I love how happy and reassuring he was here and even Cher warmed up and was smiling ear to ear!!!! What a moment thankful it happened before Sonnys tragic accident. I suspect he may have been intentionally killed. Cher did his eulogy and was so torn up crying and showing her vulnerability. I think they both still loved each other. Cher was devastated. Miss your sweet and genuine soul Sonny!
I am so glad that this was recorded. I saw it when it first aired, & back then I thought it was so cool that they could play nice & give a song to the fans just for old times sake. As I look back it is bitter/sweet to see that they really did care for each other even though they didn't last as a couple, & to know now that this was the last time they would ever perform together. 💔
This song reminds me of me and my late husband Tim. I was only 20 when we got married in 1990. He was 27 and we both knew he was diagnosed HIV positive in 1987, but all we cared about was that we loved each other and wanted to spend the rest of our lives together, which sadly wasn't for very long, just four and a half years later. But at least I knew what it felt like to have an, "I Got You, Babe," love.
@@apriltaf2288 thank you! To cheer you up, one part of the song that doesn't fit myself and Tim is, "They say your hair's too long." In fact, Tim was a veteran who couldn't *stand* to let his hair grow past his ears! 😆 Coming from a family of hippies, I really didn't get this! 🤣😂
@Ariel - my God, if the song/performance didn't bring up enough bittersweet memories, your post certainly has. I worked with HIV/AIDS folks thru to success of the 'Lazarus' drugs late 90's/early 2000's. Prior to that, many beautiful people were lost because of political weaponization of the AIDS pandemic. I guess none of that matters anymore, our individual stories shuffled under as new challenges emerge & older ones become chronic v terminal.
And - I am SO sorry for your loss of Tim. As we entered the 2000's, every death from AIDS was so incredibly frustrating - we knew bringing the virus within drug treatment neutrality was closer year-by-year. A lot of funerals & memorials but because of medical advances, last service attended was 2013 (also the most heartbreaking).
I ❤️seeing them singing together no matter how old the tape is. Always takes me back to other/better times. Thankyou for the great blast from the past ❗

Me love it
Me!
And, the awkward loving connection between the two of them couldn't be hidden. One of the best love songs ever written
I’ll forever love this song!!
me too. It's timeless.
It would be impossible to explain to today's youth how epic this performance was. I am moved each time I watch it.

You’re right and it’s incredible.
I cry every time I watch it.
They loved each other right to the end. Even after they were divorced. She was so upset when Sonny was killed skiing. She’s always said if it weren’t for Sonny she wouldn’t have had the career she did.
RIP Sonny
He was a controlling narcissist.
This entire thing was pure magic and I dare someone not to smile while watching.
Saw Cher sing this in concert a couple of years ago. She said she normally doesn't sing this in concert but decided to do it because it was going to be her last tour. She sang it with Sonny on the screen. Touching, sweet, awesome tribute.
She is still performing and doing the song
When and how did sonny die
He died in 1998 of a skiing accident. Very sad, he had a lot more to give to the world.
Sonny did not die from an accident , sadly he was murdered. read the reports.
I think that is so BEAUTIFUL
You can really see their deep connection when they sing together. Amazing
Watching this gave me chills.
the fact that even after they divorced and after his death she still loves him and i am sure he still loved her it's nice to see a genuine love that never faded even if they didn't last as a couple
Inspiring
So sweet, how Sonny looks a Cher. Precious!
Brings tears to my eyes. I fell in love with them when I was 8 years old. I'm 65 now. R.I.P. Sonny. Rock- on Cher; you are magnificent.
Do you have to get moved
*Sonny, not Sunny. At least have the respect to spell his name correctly

This very guest appearance on David Letterman truly showed how much Sonny & Cher still had places in their hearts for each other.
Yes, they certainly did!
Thank you David Letterman for bringing Sonny and Cher together for that one last time. Little did we all know what a precious moment in time it was and what a truly nice thing you did

Right?

David letterman is a horrible person, but this is the only thing I'd thank him for
They were so cute together. This song is timeless. Rest in peace Sonny.
I remember at Sonnys service when she said without Sonny there would’ve never been a Cher. Wow!!!
She was in deep dispair. I remember well.
Her business partner only. Thay WERE so beautiful when thay were young.
Is it me or did it seem like she never fell outta love with him? 💔😥
In more ways than one...yup
@Царское Небеса следи за словами, сам-то кто?
If you were not a child in the 70's you probably wont understand how powerful this last duet was.RIP Sonny.
I couldn’t agree more. I am bawling just watching this.
Miss these two, we had babes
60’s
definitely takes me back.
How true! I start crying each time I watch this video ( lost count of how many times I have watched it!)! I read how their was barely a dry in the audience watching this & Chasity, who was there to, sobbed watching her ( now his as Chas) parents sing this together! Such an iconic moment & I never tire of watching it & the obvious love they had for one another! “May Sonny Rest In Peace!” ♥️
Seeing Sonny teary eyed at the end you can see how much this meant to him.
Until he was killed by the Pelosi crime family.
It appeared to me that Cher was just as emotional as Sonny.
I've got a feeling it meant something two both of them.
@@derrickconnolly9164 He skiied into a tree at Lake Tahoe idjit. Always someone gotta bring politics into a lovely but sad story.
miss him forever
Seeing the love in both of their faces after being split up for like 12 years, along with everything else, has got me bawling like a baby.
They did love each other for while. that is hard for either of them to forget.
they both loved someone else by then
Do you have to cry about it grow up baby
Really, actually crying?
Yeah that was touching. ..... that's the stuff that makes us feel what they feel..... True Artists 💯 ❤
One of the greatest television moments ever. Anyone who grew up watching these two this can't help but bring a tear to their eyes.
Where did Oli years ago it seems like just yesterday when I used to watch that wow life passed you by fast
Sonny looked like he was holding back his emotions at the end.
a song they shouldn't ever sing with anyone else. well Cher shouldn't sing with anyone else.
they had such an adorable little girl....but she really walked like a little boy... I noticed that. How weird.
Watched it live (when the taped show was played) priceless memory
I'm crying right now.... Memories
Cher gave Sonny two gifts later in his life; agreeing to this interview and performance, and her lovely, heart-felt eulogy at his funeral.
Great comment
I was going to comment when I saw yours and it was almost exactly what I was going to say. I've always said that if there was someone that you once loved there will always be a part of you that still loves that person. If there isn't then it was never real love.
and nothing more.
@@bigbilltoady412 I watched an interview with Cher & she said that when that she could never turn Sonny down for anytime when they were working together.
She robbed Sonny and everyone knew it. He died in an accident and she profited from that too. He left music and became a Congressman for Christ sakes. He was the brains.
I’ve been to two Cher concerts in recent years. She always sings a duet of “I Got You Babe” with Sonny on video. She gets emotional still. She really loved him.
Awwww. 😢
I saw Cher in Vegas and I totally agree with you. They had their disagreement but still had that flame of love for each other.
Sonny and Cher 💞 best singing couple in love ever, except for Peaches and Herb love them too
I saw her in 2020 right before the world ground to a halt and before she did the duet, she said "I debated for years whether or not to do this song because I didn't know if it would be too emotional. But then I said 'B**** you are 500 years old, just do it.'" I was sobbing by the end of the song
I saw her at tweeter center years ago. She did the tribute of him with clips and videos at end.but yeh emotional.
36 years later this still gets me every time.
Me too.
It's something isn't it
Every now and then I still listen it to it incessantly.
David Letterman, thank God you did this!! I don't know if today's audience gets it, but "this" was what the 70's gave to us old fogies. And, tho it's far from perfect..... it's perfect.
....this just made me tear up!!! it sure was....perfect. 💜
@@sharontrujillo7793 .
Yup
This is perfect so sweet and so sad at the same time.
We're not old 😅, together we're still young amongst each other 😉
I seen it sonny's eyes he knew that would be the last time he would sing with Cher miss them both watched them on TV for years
At 4:20 I just love what Cher adds to this performance. Sonny's genuine kiss on her hand; that's just real love❤.
yes you can see they still really loved each other
Why did they ever break up? You can tell that was real love. You can tell she loved him. I think she even still loves him!
@@mariahmueller579 They broke up because he was so controlling and she was too young when she hooked up with him and she didn't really know who she was. He actually had a business arrangement where basically he got 65% and she got 35%. I think in time she forgave him because her career continued and grew immensely and she realized that at the end of the day even though he might not have been fair when she first started out she wouldn't even be anywhere ti start without him. From what I read he really loved her and was sorry in the end for what he had done. I think in this clip you see why they fell in love to begin with.
@@PFCDshe also said he cheated on her a lot.
love how flawless the harmonies were, after so many years of not doing it. emotional. And lovely arrangement by Schaffer.
Aww you can see it all over his face, he never stopped loving her
@Sophiedopey98 People seem to forget that Cher had her own flings according to various accounts. It was reported by various people on the movie set "Chastity" that Sonny wrote & produced , Cher was seeing her lead male co-star. When she left Sonny in Nov 1972 at a Vegas hotel, she was with their lead guitarist Bill Hamm. They both made mistakes in life (who hasn't...). Cher said in a Nov. 2018 interview promoting The Cher Show play on Broadway that of all the men she's been with over the decades, she loves & misses Sonny the most & if he were to walk through that door right now, "we would be Sonny & Cher again in about 2 seconds". There are several interviews on TH-cam over the years where they both have said they still love the other. As Sonny once said "just not the marrying kind". Bottom line: These 2 were great together no matter what obstacles they had to deal with!!! We watched them as a family affair when their show was a hit in the 1970's. Our family now watch the shows on DVDs.
they bothed loved eachother, and sadly the ones we love can hurt us the most
@Sophiedopey98 Cher was with someone as well, not to mention she has said in interviews that she was completely fine with him having another woman in the house. That is "worked out" for them at the time. Lol
@Sophiedopey98 ok my bad. I misunderstood. Thanks for the response
no he did not ,,
We are so fortunate that David Letterman arranged this. It's magic.
Paul Shaffer on Keyboards

We are so fortunate he arranged this for what an iconic moment!!!
These two deserve Rock n Roll Hall of Fame recognition for I Got You Babe alone
It was the #1 song on the radio the week I was born, August 1965.
Definitely
I think in their own way they loved each other until the end. You can see and feel it in this song.
I believe that’s true. They may not be soulmates, but they’re still life partners.
Agree they never stopped loving each other
I've been watching Sonny and Cher videos. I grew up on the Sonny and Cher comedy hour. I see in this last duet (emotional) that Cher loved him more because her eye glances were a bit longer than his. He always couldn't keep his eyes of of her. I miss Sonny! I do. Her, not so much! He was a great man. Sonny made Cher! What has she done since that tragic accident? Put Chaz transition on national TV for the world to see and now nothing for them both since then.
2:57 - Cher says to Sonny, "This is weird" as if they both went back in time, which they did. Great moment!
She once sang "If I could turn back in Time" so, who knows?
@@KieroUnasBotasAGoGo well unfortunately she cant turn back death 😕
For a brief moment in time the 60's came back.... They clearly still had strong feelings for each other. Couldn't remove the smiles from their faces with a belt sander ☺️
@Ed Miller I was and compared to TODAY I 100% stand by my comment 🤔
There was a love vibe that was never again the same. But at the time, turmoil of the race riots when King was assassinated, the vietnam war , the assassination of the Kennedy's, etc.
X K ah yes all that racism and segregation. Very innocent times
@@davep6102 Again compared to today?
@@terrym5023 Neither then or now is innocent.
Yes he loved her, just like Desi loved Lucy. But that love wasn't enough. Watching them here is beyond words. Wow
Barbara Lee Interesting that you mentioned both of those Couples ‘cause those 2 divorces really shook my little world. I still feel like I grew up in Norman Rockwell’s Little Hometown, and it seemed to me that ‘Divorce’ was virtually an unheard of thing the whole time I grew up, until I left to go off to College. But, seeing those two
Couples, who seemed (on TV) to be SO in love that nothing could ever break their marriages apart…actually dissolve their marriages & FAMILIES (‘Cause each Couple even had a Child & ,…that should’ve been enough reason all by itself to work things out),…I think made me realize that if THEY couldn’t make marriage work, then what little change did the rest of us have! Oddly, I’ve gone through 2 divorces in my own life. I think I’m gonna blame Ricky & Cher for all my failures, & heartache! 😩😜😉😁
Who cheated on who then? If it wasnt?
@Anastasia Pavlova and both women were very ungrateful especially Lucy. Now she's heralded as a pioneer for feminists HA! CANT WATCH HER ANYMORE UNFUNNY
Janet Montgomery I am so sorry. My husband is 13 years older and I cannot imagine the pain you are going through. I am fearful of losing him. I hope you have support around you.
@Anastasia Pavlova завистница! Если это дуэт, то не он её сотворил, а оба друг друга, иначе Шер не преуспела бы в разных амплуа, особенно, на Бродвее. Не надо умалять её заслуги, особенно, её потрясающе-низкий голос и невероятный вокал. I'm disappointed with your comment.
He had a beautiful smile and he still loved her - look at his body language...
Amazing couple. Love them forever...
Sonny looks ready to cry. Overwhelmed with love and emotions
Yeah he was choked up. So was I watching this. Really great performance.
I am so glad they got to do that before Sonny's death.
@Jarred Knox duh
@Jarred Knox Are you feeling stupid for stating the obvious?
@Berry Harbour Cher said she was backstage
I am a Boomer so grew up with them. From the beginning Sonny was so happy in love with Cheryl and she him. Seeing this so many years later did have me tearing up because they were emotional, especially Sonny. He was the nicest man. He just was special. They were much loved.
Sending sonny love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This made me tear up. Obviously Sonny still really loved her.
I think they were a little bit like Lucy and Desi. They loved each other very much, the marriage just didn't work.
Senator Jim Dracula Yes I agree! You can see it in Sonny’s eyes that he was still in love with Cher.
Cher still cries when she talks about him publicly ... she still loves him too.
Who gives a shit!
She loved him too. She had a hard time when he died.
Sonny was wiping away a few tears at the end. That makes two of us…😭
Cher looked teary eyed too!
@@betsyross3963 Yes she did.
I met Sonny Bono once at his restaurant in Beverly Hills. This was back in the mid 80's. He autographed the paper napkin-rings which had "Bono's" printed on them for my sister and I. He was a very nice man. He had some delicious pasta recipes too! Most people remember Sonny for his 10 Gold Records, for me it's the pasta....LOL. RIP Mr. Bono.
Over 30 years ago...still gives me goose bumps
@kat ci healer,move over!
This was a thrill for all of us who grew up watching them.
this is trivial for the youtube universe, but for those of us whose generation this is. it's very moving. if you know their story, and see this vid, how can they not be soul mates. good, bad, new, old - these two are comfortable with each other!
Took the words right out of my mouth! Forever thanks to David Letterman for making it happen, one of the all-time great moments on the all-time great talk show.
Perfectly said. RIP Sonny
I loved stumbling on this video. My generation, our generation- best music, most talented and nothing compares today to match it.
💯
I agree. I cried from first note to the last one.
I don't even know how I got here but I'm glad I'm here. RIP Sonny. I loved them together. This is my history!! I Got U Babe!!💜💜💜💜💜💜
The WHOLE WORLD loved Sonny and Cher!!!!!
Part from sonny and cher... OH YES, I went there
Me too,they were wonderful together
As a low voiced woman, seeing someone like Cher really gives me inspiration. Not all women have to have high pitched fairy voices in order to sound pretty, and Cher is an exemplar of that statement
Yes, but it helps if they look good and slim, unfortunately.
@@peacelove728 I'm not talking about their looks. I'm talking about their vocal pitch
@@tenacioustrees.8737 Bonnie Tyler is another.
@@tenacioustrees.8737 Yes he understood that you weren't talking about their looks. What he ment was, that it helps that she looks gorgeous, a beautiful woman with a great body, so with that looks the voice comes good. But if a woman looks lets say bad and then has a deep voice as well, it's really BAD.
@@Truth_Seeker96 And Toni Braxton! Alto queens.
Sonny was a class act around Palm Springs, he used to stop his motorcycle and talk to us as we walked on South Palm Canyon near his home on Crestview.
Yes I agree with you I talked with him once too in west hollywood years ago when he had his own resterant in west hollywood called 'bonos" you remember that? He's the nicest guy when I tell people who's the nicesest celebrity I ever met I say sonny bono!
My sister and bro in law, were in Palm Springs, saw Sonny at his restaurant..he signed a bottle of wine they had. They said he was very nice.
I can totally see that. And even though Cher shot into ridiculous heights of SuperStardom, American Icon status, and likely has a phalanx of security around her at all times, I suspect she's very "real" and "down to earth" in person. I wish Sonny hadn't had that awful accident. He was doing great things, and had so much more to give to this country we all love.😥❤💙
@@Karina-Loves-Andreasno
Anyone who has met Sony are very lucky! I’m glad to read comments of him being a great man in life. RIP Sony 😪🙏
This is a couple who really belonged together and in some
way they'll always be.
Did you see Cher's eulogy to Sonny? It was very moving.
like ariana grande and mac miller. they’ll always be attached.
@@thedaniellamaria this comment section is only for talking about talented people ;)
Klay Pot no
Jeffrey Salter should have stayed together forever and forever , amen.
Damn that Cher! That woman has got such a uniquely beautiful voice.
The trouble with having a soul mate is no matter how much you love and respect each other, you can’t always live together. Sonny and Cher, eternally soul mates, that had more love and respect for each other than we will ever have. RIP Sonny.🙏❤️
I was lucky my parents got along and were "soulmates" for 43 years. My mom passed about 7 months ago. My parents favorite thing to to together was just to sit and talk or my dad would sit paying his guitar and my mom would read the newspaper. Very low key easy going. They still held hands when they walled at the park or when we were on vacation at the beach. My dad was worried my mom would fall because she had dizzy spells. It was cute he was shy about it. Music like this from the classic rock era brought them together and they later on realized they were at a lot of the same concerts in the NYC area before they met.
@@mattmammone2338
My parents first started dating in London during WW2 at 14 years old, although they’d been friends for several years before. They got together after my Dad’s then girlfriend was killed alongside half her family when their whole street was taken out by doodlebug bombs from an air raid during the first few days of the London blitz. I can’t imagine what my then 14 year old Dad went through expecting to pick his girlfriend up for a trip to the swimming baths only to find a crater of rubble where her street had been. He instead spent that day helping volunteers sift through the rubble for bodies. There were only 4 survivors, 17 were killed. Among them were Dad’s girlfriend, her sister, mother and grandmother. After my parents got together they were married for 64 years until my Mum passed away suddenly. Dad was inconsolable, he was with us for another ten years but he missed his sweetheart every passing moment. I’m happy that they’re together again. Some people are exceptionally lucky to find their soul mate, I haven’t in this lifetime….maybe next time. Time is but a grain of sand.
I understand what you mean by soulmate. A girl I went with in 1976 for 14 months was my soulmate. She said I was hers. Despite this, she chose to move on. That was OK. Heartbreaking at the time, yes. Through a mutual friend I would get pieces of information of her life and she about me. Now, all these years later, she's in her 60s and so am I. Being I'm retired now, I sometimes wonder about her life and the family she raised. Still in some odd way, I still feel a connection. No, I'm not still in love with her, of course not. It's just a connection I can't explain.
@@ufafgd Your maturity is amazing. Even for someone in your 60s.
This signified the end of an era for a lot of people. For some, the end of their childhood. I loved Sonny and Cher . And Chastity (Chaz) was such a sweetie. RIP Sonny Bono.
😊😊I'monlyvery pls to know I'm not the one that loves😍 💘the song but when last did you play it
I have always Loved Sonny and Cher, Together ❤️ They Were The Best. Angela 💖
@Luke Hunter And Sonny’s mustache.
Letterman did us all a big favor bringing them back to us one last time. Funny how Cher blew the lines but it gave it something special. Sonny was a smart guy in the business back in the day. Created a super star.
Earth angel
mgebi1 He was also a great songwriter. He wrote "I Got You Babe" among some of their other big hits.
he had the savvy and she had the talent...and that amazing look
Sonny couldn't sing. That was the problem. Cher knew He was dragging the act down.
She used to screw up all the time on their show and Sonny would do exactly what he did and vice versa. Such amazing chemistry. True Love
I remember watching their comedy hour show as a kid. My whole family gathered around the set to view it. That actually sent good chills through my body. And it put a smile on my face
There go 2 people who are filled with joy just to be there, with each other, singing such a great song. Pure joy in their faces
God Bless David Letterman for bringing these two together one last time.
How do you know it was the "last time" they sang together? Their appearance on the Letterman Show happened ELEVEN YEARS before Sonny's death! I'm sure at SOME point in those following 11 years that they sang together! I'm not saying they were going around singing together, but I'm sure at least ONE time in those 11 years they sang together at least once more.
@@randomguy1882 Yes and without Chastity!
And they DIDN'T LOVE EACH OTHER ANYMORE: they really couldn't stand each other anymore!
This is television history, I feel fortunate to have been up late that night watching the late show with David letterman.
BEST!!! Totally miss Dave.
I too watched this live, on letterman..CLASSIC FOREVER.
Saw it too. Seems like yesterday. Miss those days
I did watch this live that night, and knew it was an instant classic moment.
I saw it too. I knew it was historically.. and wow can Cher sing! She's the only only artist to have a number one hit in 4 decades.
Sonny's smile will always priceless! Beautiful!
Yep, I agree, and dang, I think he's hot!!!
This was iconic. I’m so happy they did this. It was very moving. She loved him. So many Memories.
He loved her too, but it didn't work out the way they thought it might.
I love that Cher had a lower singing voice and sonny had a higher singing voice
They still this great chemistry between them, they still loved each other...
A once in a lifetime event. It was very tough on Sonny if you watch real carefully you can see Sonny tearing up and Cher trying to pull him together. Still on ❤️😳❗
Very true 😔❤️👏👏👏
you dont have to watch carefully haha. its all over it.
They both thought there was time left to eventually say all the things they needed to say to eachother. Its easy to stay mad at someone when you think they'll always be there, be there to eventually say you're sorry, be there to eventually make amends, be there to eventually say I love you. When Sonny died that all vanished and you were able to see how Cher was broken up about it. Their daughter at the time said; When I told my mom that dad had died, my mom (Cher) became almost hysterical, something I never expected, and for the first time I realized just how much they really loved eachother.
I think it's on of those moments , you cant help being moved by , real love only happens once or twice in a lifetime …….and of course real love never dies , forget that Sonny loved Cher , I think its fairly obvious she loved him back ….which is why we cant help but smile and grin when we watch this
I think it's sweet that Sonny got emotional and started crying at the end!
alan shores because he always said even though they fought like crazy most times, that she was his one true love.
Hubby & I fight heaps of times , still together after 51 years , not bad fights , just arguments , cheers .
alan shores ... That's 'cuz he was a wimp...
It was a big game on film. She would have been A 000000 with out Sonny!!
Dienie Fay even if the right path has rock and potholes doesn't mean it's not the right path. Love as well as life has bumps. Anything else is boring.
When they messed up was actually my favorite part of this. It was so real and so honest and showed how long it had been since they did this together.
Memories Memories all so good Thank you.
This gave me tears. Another time, another generation we grew up in. Sonny you’re sorely missed.
Cher has a truly amazing voice .
YES!! Dark, strong, & very good voice = Cher 👌🎵
@ZoneFighter1 No,it is not
She's awful
Not exactly into the tone of it, but it is smooth and strong here
As many times as I’ve watched this, it still makes my cry. Very powerful … 🥰😭
I cry manly tears.
It’s just a reunion do you have to get emotional
one of the most Classic moments in TV history! This has been spoken about so much - I've heard Cher refer to how everyone was crying
While you watch and hear the two of them singing, you can't help but sing along. America loves Sonny and Cher.
Evokes tears even today.
@@vjr5261 God yes
March 1st, 2019 and still amazing to see this. R.I.P. SONNY
RIP Sonny? Without him???? OK, she did great, but walk away. No guts.
May 29,2019. My first time seeing this. Letterman did make a lot of his female guest cry.lot refused to ever go back on his show. Was nice to see this, Sonny always seemed to be a nice person rip Sonny Bono .🌹💐.n.j.
Brought a tear to my eye. What a duo.❤️
Me, too, Co Co!
Their unique music was and still is very special, never fails to uplift. Well done!! 👏🏼
Amazing singers. Sonny is under appreciated for his wonderful unique voice with great range....
They remind me of Ike and Tina but in a good way
@@lamirosims2013 yes!
i always liked his voice and never understood why people thought it was bad
He STINKS as a singer, but that's what makes him so good!
Oh yeah, Richard!! I agree!!!
I was watching the show as it happened. EPIC! Watching it now, with Sonny gone make it that much more bittersweet. I cried as they sang. ♡♡♡
It’s just a reunion do you have to get emotional
I could watch this clip several time a day and still never get tired of it. Sonny and Cher singing together too great❤️❤️❤️❤️❗
When I was a kid I loved that show
Sonny an cher ....I loved them 2
Is alway nice to see love and mutual rispect after a divorce. I really like this video...
Jean-Paul Beaubier (DazzlerTyler) when did sony die and how?
1998 or 1999 - hit a tree skiing
I totally love respect and miss my ex husband
At Lyle Stavast Janurary 1998.
When Sonny was killed, Cher stopped what she was doing abroad, and immediately flew back for his funeral. I don't think they were ever unattached to each other. It was Sonny who enabled Cher to overcome her stage fright. Sad they parted...
So beautiful that they can still see what drew them to each other and they wished it could have worked out. Brings me to tears.
Do you have to get so emotional over a reunion
@@zeefrunk9459 Yes I do.
Just look at the eyes as they look at each other! It has never faded! The video always puts a smile on my face and a tear in my eye! ☮️🖖🏽
They may not have still been in love with each other, but you could still see the love, respect and admiration that they still had for each other after all of those years.
This is an iconic moment in entertainment TV. Sonny couldn't really sing, but he put his heart into this. Cher didn't want to do this, but Sonny directed her as she's flopping lines and singing beautifully. In the end, you see a couple that's not over each other and enjoying the nostalgia.
Very true
pretty sure it's sonny who drops the line, Cher mistakenly thinks it was her line, because Sonny didn't start in, and they recover and mess up the verse afterward
Thanks for your opinion. Some of us thought Sonny blended very well with Cher. You can disagree, it's still, so far, a free world. But nobody would've heard of Cher if it hadn't been for Sonny. And he was also one hot-looking handsome man!!
Evidently, you are not from the 70's? That's how Sonny sings, he's unique and somehow it just works for him. They are a dynamic couple that no one will ever be able to duplicate.
Can everyone in here just call a spade a spade, and take a look at how unbelievably HIGH both of them are. That being sed, what do you expect for 2 people who have lost there "chemistry" and are blitzed out there minds???? Oh that's right, this right here is a good example
I'm Crying watching this. CHERR LOVED SONNY BONO. SHE LOVED HIM🌈❣️❤️R.I.P SONNY❣️🌈
She still loves him, I'm certain.
Yess
Letterman didn't realize he was setting up 1 of the most iconic TV performances ever
He knew it.
Everything is scripted.
You can see they still live each other
You mean because of Sonny’s untimely death?
Or did he
I am very fortunate to have grown up in this era. These classics play and i drift away back to my carefree days with my friends though sadly some are gone
They were the absolute greatest together!! RIP Sonny...they ooozed happiness!!
Even though they were divorced, they still loved each other. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Together
The world misses Sonny Bono.....For sure
I think sometimes in life two people meet who have a special bond. And I believe that even if it doesn't work out there's something that will never go away between them. Unfortunately we aren't smart enough to realize it before we destroy it for life. It's a shame. Many of you know what I mean.
mgebi1 Yes, i know exactly what you mean. Am I weeping for Sonny and Cher, or am I remembering what I once had and lost. Maybe it doesn't really matter.......
Laura White life sometimes doesn't work the way we want or think we do. I know others who would probably change what they did. And then life seems to speed up and leave us with memories and some heartache. I feel robbed in a way that l can't go back. But what we do makes us what we are.still I sure wish I was less foolish when I was young. Now it's hard to accept some things and still try to go on with a smile. I do have people that I am thankful for now. Life ain't easy and no turning back. They had something special.
mgebi1 How I wish I could rewind my life. I would do it in a heartbeat. I've been having a real pity party today, listening to old songs. "On My Own", "Yesterday When I was Young" , Barry White's "What We Had, We Had", etc. It isn't easy growing older and living with regrets. So many promises..... Take care and thanks for responding.
Laura White hey I have those days. Music is like the story to my life. Sometimes you just need the blues. But there's the bittersweet ones as well. I keep some music lists here as we as my computer. I have a catagory of happy songs to help the (pity) days. But when you have a really bad day better ones will come. Sometimes one good song can change your mood slowly to better stuff. Other times just listen to those blues and be thankful for the memories. I don't know. How about Kodachrome Paul Simon, or newer love so Sarah Barelles. Even some old fifth dimension stuff. Like drink my daddy's wine. A few I use. Sometimes one happy song can lead to others. But I definitely understand you. Good luck.
Laura White You know I just realized you mention (yesterday when I was young) and I thought of that song a few weeks ago. Most people around me haven't a clue to that song. I remember when Roy clark sang it and my father loved it. I didn't fully understand what it meant to him. I have no doubt now. And I've always had good comprhension of songs. Ok I'm done.
This song has such rhymthm to or a particular beat that even the band players do like body sway each time its like they really get into it. Its a love song with meaning.
I remember watching this the night it originally aired and it’s still a great moment watching it again almost forty years later.
One of my favorite Letterman moments, Sonny and Cher were such good memories of my childhood. Loved them and Cher what a classy beautiful lady.
That was first class; The little flaws made it real. The best version of this song ever.
Loved the song....it brought back sweet memories...
The best of 60 Sam Bassett
The flaws are great because they show it was unrehearsed. Of course the band and the crew were prepared for this, but the two of them weren't.
never seen this reunited performance til this week - awesome and heartwarming
I remember watching this episode and thinking wow how lucky I was to see the two of them singing together live, made me smile through the whole song😃Aloha from Makawao,Maui🤙🏽
The greatest musical reunion ever!!!!!!!
Such a wonderful and magical moment. "I Got You Babe" was my wife's and my favorite song to dance to in 1969 when we first met and all the way until we married in early 1972 along with Simon & Garfunkel's Sound of Silence and To Love Somebody by the Bee Gees. Great times and great memories for this now 64 year old man. Where have all the years gone? What a golden era we lived in! Turbulent times, changing times, hard times but we endured and now we have been married 46 years. Grandparents now and tired but in my mind it is still 1969.
#1 song on the radio the week I was born, August 1965.

You'll find someone💜..my Grandma used to always say "That for every shoe, there's a sock"..I have no doubt she was right!💖
These two really respect each other. ..Sonny and Cher thanks for the good times and music!
So sad Sonny died so young. I love how happy and reassuring he was here and even Cher warmed up and was smiling ear to ear!!!! What a moment thankful it happened before Sonnys tragic accident. I suspect he may have been intentionally killed. Cher did his eulogy and was so torn up crying and showing her vulnerability. I think they both still loved each other. Cher was devastated. Miss your sweet and genuine soul Sonny!
One of TVs greatest moments. I remember watching it that night.
Cher's talking voice is so much higher then her singing voice.
She sounds like Celine or am I the only one thinking that...
Her voice is so deep
If you listen to her early music with Sonny, her signing voice sounded much like her talking voice. Then her singing voice changed and got deeper.
zhaneranger her singing voice transformed from when they first where together.
Fantastic singing voice. I love Cher. Sonny was cute.
I am so glad that this was recorded. I saw it when it first aired, & back then I thought it was so cool that they could play nice & give a song to the fans just for old times sake. As I look back it is bitter/sweet to see that they really did care for each other even though they didn't last as a couple, & to know now that this was the last time they would ever perform together. 💔
Truly and iconic and special moment!!
This song reminds me of me and my late husband Tim. I was only 20 when we got married in 1990. He was 27 and we both knew he was diagnosed HIV positive in 1987, but all we cared about was that we loved each other and wanted to spend the rest of our lives together, which sadly wasn't for very long, just four and a half years later. But at least I knew what it felt like to have an, "I Got You, Babe," love.
So sorry for you’re loss,great song to remember him 😪
@@apriltaf2288 thank you! To cheer you up, one part of the song that doesn't fit myself and Tim is, "They say your hair's too long." In fact, Tim was a veteran who couldn't *stand* to let his hair grow past his ears! 😆 Coming from a family of hippies, I really didn't get this! 🤣😂
Lol
@Ariel - my God, if the song/performance didn't bring up enough bittersweet memories, your post certainly has. I worked with HIV/AIDS folks thru to success of the 'Lazarus' drugs late 90's/early 2000's. Prior to that, many beautiful people were lost because of political weaponization of the AIDS pandemic. I guess none of that matters anymore, our individual stories shuffled under as new challenges emerge & older ones become chronic v terminal.
And - I am SO sorry for your loss of Tim. As we entered the 2000's, every death from AIDS was so incredibly frustrating - we knew bringing the virus within drug treatment neutrality was closer year-by-year. A lot of funerals & memorials but because of medical advances, last service attended was 2013 (also the most heartbreaking).
I ❤️seeing them singing together no matter how old the tape is. Always takes me back to other/better times. Thankyou for the great blast from the past ❗
I'm with you Catherine.
