The SONNY & CHER Nitty Gritty Hour

undefined

This historic and nostalgic DVD brings this classic 1970s network television special back to life. As Seen on TV and showcasing Sonny Bono & Cher in the happiest of times, the Pop music couple of their generation (the Brangelina of the 1970s) sing, dance, and joke their way through an evening of hits, humor, hi-jinks and hopes. Sonny Bono's songwriting talents, including their #1 hit I Got You, Babe, let Cher reveal the voice, charisma and beauty that would take her from stardom to superstardom in the ensuing decade. The Sonny & Cher Nitty Gritty Hour recaptures the sound, spirit, and style of the 70s, that vibrant time of non-stop hits, disco, sideburns and bell-bottoms. Deprived of many memories after Sonny Bono's untimely passing, this special DVD is not only a rare and retro look at the couple and the playful, wisecracking persona that captivated audiences through the mid 1970s, but the only available example of their incomparable television show. Complete with the hair-styles, bell-bottoms and sideburns, this classic-to-be nostalgically brings you back to that bygone era.
