What was the world listening to 45 years ago?

Sonny and Cher had a string of hits back in the 1960s.

Frankly, I never got into their music, although Cher was always a pleasure to look at.

Cher is still performing today. She's had a long solo career.

Sonny left the music business and was elected to the US Congress in the 1990s. Unfortunately, Sonny was killed in an accident back in 1998.

Here is "I got you babe", the # 1 song in my parts of the world in July-August 1965.

P.S. My favorite "Sonny and Cher" song was "Baby don't go":

"Baby don't go,
Pretty baby please don't go

I never had a mother, I hardly knew my dad
I've been in town for eighteen years
You're the only boy I've had
I can't stay, Maybe I'll be back some day

Baby don't go, Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so, Pretty baby please don't go

I never had no money I bought at the second hand store
The way this old town laughs at me
I just can't take it no more
I can't stay, I'm gonna be a lady some day

Baby don't go, Pretty baby please don't go
I love you so, Pretty baby please don't go

When I get to the city, My tears will all be dry
My eyes will look so pretty
No one's gonna know I cried
Yes I'm goin' away, Maybe I'll be back some day

Baby don't go, Maybe I'll be back some day
Baby don't go...."
