(Translated from my old Italian text by Nicholas Green)

Sonny (Bono) & Cher (Sarkisian), a sentimental and eccentric couple, had two huge hits: I Got You Babe (1965), with Hal Blaine on drums, and Bang Bang (1966). The former is typical of folk rock: starting with a Byrdsian guitar riff, a melodic harpsichord line is intertwined with a chiming guitar, overlaid by an epic and ecstatic vocal duet. Sonny Bono would go into politics, dying in 1998 due to a skiing accident. Cher would go on to become a Hollywood actress, a star of pop music (Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves, 1971) and even disco (Believe), with her strong and androgynous singing register.

Sonny (Bono) & Cher (Sarkisian), una coppia sentimentale ed eccentrica, che ebbe due hit enormi con I Got You Babe (1965), con Hal Blaine alla batteria, e Bang Bang (1966). Il primo e` tipico del folk-rock: apertura di chitarra alla Byrds, riff melodico di clavicembalo intrecciato allo scampanellio della chitarra, duetto vocale epico ed estatico. Sonny Bono si sarebbe dato alla politica e sarebbe morto nel 1998 (incidente di sci). Cher diventera` attrice di Hollywood, star della musica leggera (Gypsy Tramps and Thieves, 1971) e persino della disco music (Believe), forte di un registro androgino.
