The pair first achieved fame with two hit songs in 1965, "Baby Don't Go" and "I Got You Babe". "I Got You Babe" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and became, according to AllMusic's Bruce Eder, "one of the biggest-selling and most beloved pop/rock hits of the mid-'60s"; Rolling Stone magazine listed it among "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2003.
Signing with Atco/Atlantic Records, they released three studio albums in the late 1960s, as well as the soundtrack recordings for two unsuccessful movies, Good Times and Chastity, with Cher contributing vocals to one cut, "Chastity's Song (Band of Thieves)". In 1972, after three years of silence, the couple returned to the studio and released two other albums under the MCA/Kapp Records label.
In the 1970s, they also positioned themselves as media personalities with two top ten TV shows in the US, The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour and The Sonny and Cher Show. The couple's career as a duo ended in 1975 following their divorce. In the decade they spent together, Sonny and Cher were nominated for two Grammy Awards and sold over 40 million records worldwide.
Author Joseph Murrells described Sonny & Cher as "part of the leading exponents of the rock-folk-message type of song, a hybrid combining the best and instrumentation of rock music with folk lyric and often lyrics of protest." Rolling Stone magazine ranked them No. 18 on its list of the 20 Greatest Duos of All Time.
Performing under her first name, Cher went on to a highly successful career as a solo singer and actress, while Sonny Bono was eventually elected to Congress as a Republican U.S. Representative from California. The two performers were inducted to the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1998, following Sonny's death in a skiing accident.

More Today Than Yesterday
Sonny & Cher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that
I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
Everyday is a new day
Everything comes a new way
In love with you
Every time I kiss your lips
My mind starts to wonder
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
[Chorus]
I love you more today than yesterday
One night (one night)
Have as much as tomorrow
Oh I love you more today than yesterday
Oh darling (oh darling)
Not as much as tomorrow
Tomorrow means spring time
Is just one, one, one day a way
But we don't need you now
Be on your way
I thank the Lord for a love like ours
It grows ever fonder
If all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
[Chorus]
Every day a new day
Every time I love ya
Every day a new day
Every time I love ya
Every day a new day
Every time I love ya
The Sonny & Cher song More Today Than Yesterday is a classic love song that speaks about the intense feeling of love and affection for someone special. The opening lyrics, "I don't remember what day it was, I didn't notice what time it was, all I know is that I fell in love with you," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer can't remember the specifics of when they fell in love, but they know it was with the person they are singing to. The line, "Every time I kiss your lips, my mind starts to wonder," shows that the singer's love for the person is all-consuming and they get lost in the moment when they are together.
The chorus, "I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow," is the standout line of the song. It illustrates the idea of the love growing more and more each day, and that the singer's love will continue to grow exponentially into the future. The line "Tomorrow means springtime is just one day away, but we don't need it now, we'll be on our way," implies that the singer doesn't want to wait for tomorrow, they want to stay in the present moment with their love.
