Sonny was sick and tired of Cher always having to be on top.

Of the billing, naturally.

Cher became a big fan of The Allman Bros. Band

In particular an organ player named Greg who could also play her organ-the one in her living room of course!

Some body had to bring up the skiing incident-well it was more than an incident actually but still...the day he died was kinda sad actually-to see Cher's makeup running all over while she sobbed about the guy she hadn't been with in 30 years!

Cher was never meant to be a one-man woman. She's more woman than any one man can handle.

Their tranformation was pretty interesting, actually. From the wild & wooly pre-hippie Love Generation duo to the Las Vegas tux-and-gowns show. And actually Sonny had a whole life before the Cher thing when he was a slickster producer working for Phil Spector. And before that he was a truck driver.
At the end of his life he's in Congress!
I tell ya, there was a guy who had the American dream.
