Sonny Bono would’ve turned 88 in two weeks, except he skied into a tree on on January 5, 1988 and died.
Sonny Bono was a record producer, songwriter, restaurant owner and a politician, but he’s best known as being one half of the musical duo, Sonny and Cher. So, in honor of his upcoming birthday, we’re posting six links to online articles about Sonny and Cher and there’s a link to a video when they reunited on Late Night With David Letterman.
Then, there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions telling you what you can expect on the blog next week.
