Radio Flora TM More music, more variety
I Got You Babe is a single from the album Look At Us, released in 1965 by Sonny & Cher. Charted #1 in US and UK.
Sonny Bono was an up-and-coming record producer when he got Cher a job with Phil Spector as a session singer. They started dating and moved in to their manager’s house, where Bono would write songs on a piano in the garage. He came up with “I Got You Babe” and wrote the lyrics on a piece of cardboard.
Cher didn’t like it at first. She recalled to Billboard magazine: “Sonny woke me up in the middle of the night to come in where the piano was, in the living room, and sing it. And I didn’t like it and just said, ‘OK, I’ll sing it and then I’m going back to bed.'”
Sonny changed the key in the bridge to fit her voice and she loved it.
This isn’t an anti-war song, but it went over well with the hippie crowd because it stuck up for guys with long hair when Cher sang, “Let them say your hair’s too long, I don’t care, with you I can’t go wrong.”
Primul video este live din 1987, din show-ul lui David Letterman, include și interviul.
