Caesar and Cleo

CAESAR AND CLEO

Sonny & Cher were an American duo of entertainers made up of husband-and-wife Sonny Bono and Cher in the 1960s and 1970s. With Bono writing, arranging and producing the songs, the couple’s first incarnation was as the duo Caesar and Cleo. They received little attention, despite releasing some singles in 1964: “The Letter”, with Vault Records; and “The Letter”, “Do You Wanna Dance” and “Love Is Strange”, with Reprise Records.

Hacienda has two albums on Alive Records to their credit, Loud is the Night (2008) and Big Red and Barbacoa (2010). The first album includes a lovely cover of one of Sonny and Cher’s earliest hits, “Baby Don’t Go” – “Baby Don’t Go” was actually released before the duo’s signature hit “I Got You Babe” just after they stopped recording under the name Caesar and Cleo.
