"I got you babe," Sonny must be saying. Sonny Bono always came across as sort of a wimp - but in this swimsuit shot from 1972, he looks kind of jacked. He must have been hitting the 1970s-era weights.

Sonny and Cher married in 1964 and had a child that we all know as Chasity. Cher started her career as a session singer and sang backup on several of Spector's recordings, including "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes. In the 1970s, they launched the TV shows, The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour and The Sonny & Cher Show. The couple divorced in 1975 - and thus ended their career together.
