Active compensatory factors: I love that cover! This was a great find - a mint copy of an album from 1967 - are you kidding me?

I'm not a huge fan of either Sonny or Cher, but this album was too good to pass up, and it turned out to be a lot of fun. It's largely a collection of cover songs including Stand by Me and We'll Sing in the Sunshine.
The few songs that Sonny sings on his own don't work for me, but thc couple's sense of goofy fun comes across well throughout the remainder of the songs.
The big hit is, of course, The Beat Goes On - it's now reached iconic status!
Where do they all belong? A fun addition.
