Sonny & Cher Live is the first live album by American pop duo Sonny & Cher, released in 1971 by Kapp/MCA Records. The album reached #35 on the Billboard chart and was certified Gold for the sales of 500,000 copies.
In 1971 the couple returned to the charts with the album "Sonny & Cher Live", on the label MCA Records in the US and Kapp Records in the UK. The album is largely a collection of cover songs including "More Today Than Yesterday" (originally by The Spiral Starecase) and "Danny Boy"). This album also contained three songs by The Beatles: "Got To Get You Into My Life", "Hey Jude", and "Something".
One single was issued from this album, that being "I Got You Babe", backed with an edited version of "Danny Boy". The song "Laugh at Me" was performed by Bono as solo while "Danny Boy" and "Once in a Lifetime" (after which Sonny can be heard saying approvingly "Not bad, not bad") were performed only by Cher. A portion of this album was re-released on the Cher and Sonny & Cher Kapp/MCA Anthology All I Ever Need, and on the 1990 compilation album All I Ever Need Is You.
