Cher and Sonny and Cher appears to have been released in 1998 as a compendium of their music after the death of Sonny Bono. It includes many of there hit songs, and misses a few. "I got You Babe" is their anthem and a concert version concluded the C.D. I would have preferred a studio version because the concert antics got in the way of the song. The two big hits of Cher were included, "Half-Breed" in which Cher talks about her Cherokee ancestry and "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" which has a very catching beat. "Crystal Clear/Muddy Waters has a very nice message, one upon which I have reflected in my life. It is the torrent that clears the muddy waters and sometimes in life it is the fire that heals. "United We Stand" is also very nice with a relatable theme.
A couple things missing. I use to love seeing Cher sing VAMP on the Sonny and Cher show. Also the son "The Beat Goes On" is missing.
