Sonny And Cher

The Letter Chords

The Letter:Caesar And Cleo (AKA Sonny And Cher.)
Released on Vault Records in 1963.
(It was their first release as far as I know.
 And the song ain't all that bad. I met them in
 Yorkville (Toronto, Canada) in 1963 or '64. Sonny was
 wearing this big fluffy vest in 80 degree heat and
 Cher was..well, Cher. She never said much and I never
 saw her smile.)  The song was re-released under their
 own names in 1965 and got to #75 on BB Hot 100.
