I always appreciated the song-writing and instrumental arrangements which Sonny and his associates put into Sonny & Cher songs. And Cher is a great singer too. My favorite song of theirs, Just You, was recorded and released early in 1965, but only became a hit late in the year when re-released after the success of "I Got You Babe." It reached the top 20 in the US, according to wikipedia. This is a truly great classic, not always recognized as such; and truly romantic. Really special; a masterpiece.
The follow up in 1966, another great melody and arrangement, didn't do as well but got to #49. The lyrics were less coherent and inviting than the romantic Just You; about a party that went on too long. But meaningful to me, for sure. What goes on inside us when we just can't connect to people? Another great Sonny & Cher song.
