Why Don't They Let Us Fall in Love



As a duo Sonny & Cher were very successful.  They weren't a one hit wonder.  They too twenty songs onto BILLBOARD's top 100 singles chart -- 11 of which went top forty.  (During the recording life of Sonny & Cher, as a solo artist, Cher had 16 singles make the top 100 and eleven of those went top forty. I'm counting this time from 1965 -- when they first charted -- through 1977 when they released their final singles "You're Not Right For Me." )  A lot of artists during that time period had one hit and that was really it.  But if you listen to their debut album LOOK AT US, you'll find 12 solid tracks including their number one hit "I Got You Babe" as well as this song, their cover of "You Really Got A Hold On Me" and "500 Miles."  Elaine's "Sonny & Cher's LOOK AT US " was a look back on that classic album.
