I Got You Babe

Other artists who have covered this Bono-penned chestnut include The Manfred Mann Earth Band, Joey Ramone, The Pretenders, Merril Bainbridge, Chrissie Hynde, Dictators, REM, Countdown Singers, Etta James, and Cher.

Sonny & Cher's biggest success were their duets on Atco, "I Got You Babe" and "The Beat Goes On."

For a time, from 1965 until 1967, they were rock & roll's hottest couple, so much so that in some conservative communities they were considered almost morally subversive; parents locked up their kids when Sonny and Cher were passing through for a concert appearance. They were popular enough, and sufficiently well-known in their images that the Rolling Stones impersonated them on the British television music showcase Ready Steady Go, miming to "I Got You Babe" with Brian Jones subbing for Sonny.
