I don't have time to cover all the show in depth anymore but I can try to link to some of the online musical numbers with a few comments.<\/p>\n

1\/3\/1972 Show<\/h4>\n

\"Butternut\"<\/a>Opening duet: "Sooner or Later<\/a>"  is a song from The Grass Roots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Badwig\" <\/a>\"Blurry\"<\/a>Cher's solo: "Come Rain or Shine<\/a>" was recorded by everybody<\/a>, including famously by Billie Holiday<\/a>.  Mr. Cher Scholar and I joked her wig looks like 1960s rich housewife hair or an unkempt Marlo Thomas. It's a really bad wig and the early solo spots are so shadowy.<\/p>\n

Concert segment: "Mr. Tamborine Man\/Joy to the World<\/a>" (with Dinah Shore). One of Cher's many Bob Dylan covers, a hit by The Byrds and Three Dog Night. Sonny & Cher did this song twice on their shows. This is the not-so-hot version. See Cher's lovely 70s fringe knot swinging around.<\/p>\n

The show's close<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2\/6\/1974 Show
<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Concert segment: "HiHeel Sneakers\/Barefootin<\/a>" ("Sneakers" is a Tommy Tucker song and "Barefootin" is a Robert Parker song. Sonny wears a hilarious Miami-themed cabano boy shirt (I call this a Barry Manilow shirt). Cher sports an afro ponytail. Good mike tossing by Cher.<\/p>\n

\"Hiheel\" <\/a>\"Barrycopa\"<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cher Solo: "Working Together<\/a>" with Cher in that macram\u00e9 head thing Groovy organ. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9\/15\/1972 Show
<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Green\"<\/a>Opening Duet: "Let Me Down Easy<\/a>"  in white outfits with blue and green stripes. Don\u2019t know who originally recorded this song but Dusty Springfield did a slow groovy cover<\/a> in 1972 on the Dusty in London<\/em> album. Cher also recorded it for her 1972 Foxy Lady<\/a> album.<\/p>\n

All the Michael Jackson and The Jackson Five material<\/a> from the show, including "what are you gonna be when you grow up," "Looking Through My Window" and "Ben."  Interesting look at the pre-teen Michael Jackson.<\/p>\n

Vamp Segment<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"Bono-award\"<\/a>It annoyed me that the episode right before the U.S. election was the Ronald Reagan episode<\/a>. Good bit of S&C self-deprecation here though and one of the best looks at the oddity that is the Bono Award.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fuscia\" <\/a>Cher Solo: "Say it Isn\u2019t So<\/a>" in that famous fuchsia dress. Heavy Vaseline job here and we see Cher's belly button.<\/p>\n

Years 1 – 9\/26\/1973 Show
<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Favpic\"<\/a>This was the show immediately after the election. Although it's one of the unsatisfying "Years" episodes, it has some sketches to note:<\/p>\n
