Neither one of them had a voice.

I saw this when it aired, and on a whim, just re-watched it. And I wasn't really expecting the whole thing to hit so hard in the feels. The significance of this little cultural milestone and the authenticity and decency of all involved was what I found the most striking. Back in the day, I would shake my head, roll my eyes and maybe feign gagging myself when older folks would get emotional about something in the past, and say things like "where did the time go?" So. Here I am. 2024. And it absolutely *_blows my mind_* to try to comprehend the _instantaneous_ passage of multiple decades since this aired. I feel like a time traveler, a lost one at that, having unfortunately emerged in to some bizarre, future parallel time line. If you are mid-20s _now_ like I was _then,_ rolling your eyes at all the ancient nostalgic coots, then *mark my words:* Tomorrow morning you will wake up and find that somewhere between three and four decades will have passed. _Overnight._ I doubt you believe me, but seriously, tomorrow morning you'll find yourself in the year 2059, and realize that you're staring 60 years old straight on in just a few weeks. And you won't have the *_tiniest clue_* as to how or why that giant chunk of time passed in a single night. So my advice is to cherish today. _PS: RIP Sonny, I had no idea you were such a sweet guy. And Cher? I had no idea you are so damn likeable!_

This really was one of Dave's best shows. It was sentimental and awkward and nostalgic and sweet. Sonny and Cher sounded great together. You could see they still had that magic. Glad they got to sing as Sonny and Cher one last time. Thanks Dave!

The feud with Cher was great. Cher was smart to show up. She knew she could handle Dave. Great show all round including Paul, the band and Flunky!

Cher's eulogy for Sonny at his funeral left no dry eyes for anyone that watched. They loved each other just couldn't live with each other. I loved Sonny and Cher when I was a kid in the 70s.

I met Sonny just after he became mayor. It was in San Diego and it was a small meet, just four of us. I'll never forget how genuinely nice he was.

I watched this live back in 1987, I waited all day for it as I loved Cher’s remake of “I Found Someone” I had the VCR all cued up, blank tape ready to go. I was blown away with her performance and then watching her and Sonny reunite for “I Got You Babe” had me in tears. Now watching it again in 2023 takes me right back like I never missed a beat. Those were the best days for music and Late Night TV 📺 I wanna go back ❤

Even after their divorce they remained very close. Cher gave the eulogy at his funeral. He really helped her become the Cher we have today. He saw SUPERSTAR in her from the start. RIP Sonny Bono. I'm so glad I saw this when it first aired. When performed together, on Late Night With David Letterman , I cried. It was so moving and sweet. You could feel their love for each other and the respect. Best Late Night episode ever! Also the way she honors him in her live concerts, by doing a duet of this song with him, using clips of him singing his part, and she faces him and it's crazy how you still feel their connection like he's on that stage with her. Best part of her live show.

Wow! I bet I wasn’t the only one getting teary-eyed when I saw them sing this again. I’m so sorry Sonny is no longer with us! 😢 He was such a nice guy!

One of the greatest Letterman episodes ever. Dave is giddy, and Paul seems to be reluctant about the whole chance of them singing together. And when Sonny says "I'll sing with Cher anytime" you knew the magic was about to happen.

Always chokes me up. They are so cute together and you can see the deep friendship and real love they have for each other. The way she stuck up for him when Letterman was making fun of Sonny's belly. You go Cher!!!

But even more so, she's probably extremely grateful that she had this moment now, considering what ultimately happened. I'm sure Chaz cherishes this moment too.

They obviously have something very special between them that defies explanation. Everything that could be said at Sonny's funeral speaks volumes how they felt about each other.

"Im not even friendly with my husband" 🤣 Only Cher! And did anyone else shed a little tear when they did the duet?

It was awesome.

This is my first time (10/31/2023) watching Sonny and Cher on Letterman. It's hard to feel bad for not knowing about this show because of how good it is to watch. It's awesome to watch them sing again! Such a great, great episode!

I koved that they seemed happy and surprised that they still sang so well together. They just dropped into their iconic slots with no effort. Cher was uneasy at first that they hadnt rehearsed. They didn't need to! ❤

Things done spontaneously are always the best b/c they're genuine.

You know, I wasn't alive to witness these two as a duo, but the chemistry and energy is just beautiful between these two. Honestly puts a lump in my throat. Sonny seems like he was such a good guy, a shame he had to go so early.

The speed of the passing of time is unbelievable, sometimes you hardly notice it, then you see something like this, and you think "how fast did that all go?"

That was history in the making!!! Thank you Sonny and Cher for being apart of my life since I was born in 1968!!

When my parents got a divorce many years ago,I could tell that my mother still loved my father,now she has dementia,and is in a nursing home,and when I was there spending time with her,she looked at me and said,you know I still love you,she thought i was my father,because I look a lot like my father,it made me want to cry,but I wanted to be strong for her

Your story about your Mom touched my heart. I am a caregiver that works w/dementia clients. Your Mom went back in time & “saw” her husband in you at that approximate age. Letting you know that she always loved your father! It is amazing the insights they come up with. Namaste, Pat

I grew up watching the Sonny and Cher show every week. To see every thing that happened over the years that lead to these classic moments in time. . I was tearing up right along with them. RIP Sonny.

I am so in love with all of this! Cher is such a unique human! Her energy is intoxicating. Sonny and Cher’s relationship is so beautiful you can feel the connection and love despite not being together anymore. Ugh lllllloooooovvvvveeee it.

It's always mentioned Sonny getting emotional on this Letterman show, but it's all in Cher voice as she's singing their iconic song, her voice gets deep and emotional as she sings in this last clip of the both of them.

This may be the greatest single show Dave ever hosted....and that is saying a lot. There were a ton of great ones, but this one is epic. It is almost as if the rest of the shows had been leading up to this in a way.

Just enjoy the video or keep scrolling.

No one can ever compare to your first love. The love you built with your first is incomparable with any other love there forward. It may not have worked out between them, but they never stopped loving each other. Seeing Sonny cry after singing with Cher made me emotional, and then to see David getting emotional with his reunion with Cher at the end of his show got me teary eyes too. She also wore the same jacket on, too, which i thought was really sweet. 😢😢😢

I remember watching this when it first aired. I was 18 years old and I couldn’t stop smiling and clapping. I watched their show when I was a kid. I’m still sad we lost Sonny too young.

Cher never gets credit for being a great vocalist. She is a one of kind original.

This seems like the right place to tell this little story. My coworkers and I were discussing our favorite artists and my 30 year coworker told me how much he loves Cher. Then my 60 year old coworker and I started talking about Sonny and Cher when the 30 year old breaks in with ...."who's Sonny???" Our mouths just hung open for a minute! Time goes by so fast!!!

Wow what a sweet man Sonny was ! You could tell he loved her so and she loved him that’s so so sweet ! He was so emotional for him but it was tough for me to watch. Love and miss ya sonny love you to Cher !!

Have seen this before and also saw it when it actually happened and I never noticed til now that at 41:25, the end of the song, Sonny starts to cry... Broke my heart...! ❤

It’s the way he physically took her hand in his and then blushed like a nervous little school boy does before his first kiss, for me.

I almost cried - love how they had separate lives, but came together to do this!
