Sonny and Cher

Famous singing couple

Sonny and Cher were an American musical duo—husband and wife Sonny Bono and Cher—who rose to fame in the 1960s with hits like "I Got You Babe." Their variety show ran through the 1970s, making them icons of popular entertainment.

The pairing represents a certain kind of mismatched couple: he was short and goofy, she was tall and glamorous.
