After a four-season run, the variety show was ending due to the husband and wife splitting up and heading toward a divorce. (The exes did, however, later reunite for a reboot, The Sonny & Cher Show, in the late 1970s.)
Written and produced by Sonny Bono, “I Got You Babe” was released in 1965 and quickly exploded into a cultural phenomenon. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and became Sonny & Cher’s signature hit, eventually selling more than a million copies and earning a certified gold recognition by the RIAA, according to Gold Radio.
Though Sonny and Cher's divorce was finalized in 1975 after a 13-year partnership, they reunited decades later for a surprise performance on Late Night with David Letterman in 1987, which would officially become the final time they ever performed the song together—years after their finale performance on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour.
