Album information

edit

It was released in December 1973, entered the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart on December 22, 1973, and reached #175 on the Billboard album charts.

This was their third double album after 1968's Sonny & Cher's Greatest Hits and 1972's The Two of Us. The album is largely a collection of cover songs including "I Can See Clearly Now" (originally by Johnny Nash) and "Where You Lead" (originally by Carole King). No singles were released from the album. The songs "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" and "You Better Sit Down Kids" were performed by Bono; both were written by Bono and performed by Cher in the late 60s. Cher also sings "Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves" as a solo.
