HAVE A COOL YULE WITH SONNY & CHER! Relive the holiday magic of these rare Sonny & Cher Christmas shows. For the first time ever, classic TV and pop music fans alike can step into Christmas with Sonny & Cher...and Chastity, too! This groovy collection features highlights from their three - and only, Christmas variety shows. Two from the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour which originally aired in 1972 and 1973 and the third from the Sonny & Cher Show in 1976, when the famous - and then divorced couple, came back to network television for one more season. Having never released a Christmas record, this collection includes the only holiday performances to be found by Sonny & Cher, either individually or collectively. So sit back, relax and get ready for a blast from Christmas past. Three decades later...and the holiday Beat Goes On!
This is the only Sonny & Cher Christmas product ever, available for the first time on any home video format. Completely authorized by Cher and the Sonny Bono Estate, these have been digitally remastered for DVD from the original CBS master tapes. Among the 2 hours running time, you will find the following featured Holiday songs:
- Jingle Bells - Sonny & Cher
- A Gift of Song and O Holy Night - Cher
- The Twelfth of Never - Sonny
- Caroling medley - Cast
- ...and many more!
Special guest stars include William Conrad, Bernadette Peters, Captain Kangaroo and Shields & Yarnell. Groovy extras feature 2 animated music videos of Sonny & Cher covering the classic songs "Black & White" by Three Dog Night and Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground." The list price is $24.99 for this single-DVD release.
Want more Sonny & Cher television episodes on DVD? Then head on over to the official website of the DVD releases,
SonnyAndCher.com, and in the lower left corner you'll find a small Christmas ornament next to the words "Coming Soon." Click it, and if your pop-up blocker is disabled, then you'll get a small window open up that allows you to enter your e-mail address and show your interest in this upcoming release, and it says they will "notify you of future Sonny & Cher and Cher releases" as well. Obviously sales will tell the larger story, but they want to see this kind of response as well. "Not to worry, you won't be bothered with a bunch of junk mail!," they say, so there...we have their word on that.
