Wedding DJ Raleigh NC: Best Love Songs By Iconic Couples!
2. “I Got You Babe” – Sonny & Cher – Hot 100 Chart Peak: 1 for three weeks (Aug. 14, 1965)
Salvatore Bono and Cherilyn Sarkisian met in L.A. while he was working as an assistant to Phil Spector. Their romance led to session recording work and eventually their own releases as Sonny and Cher. Their biggest hit, 1965’s “I Got You Babe,” is a classic that almost everyone can have fun with. The couple divorced in 1975, but reunited to perform “I Got You Babe” on ‘Late Night With David Letterman’ in 1987. Bono died in 1998 during a snow skiing accident.
1. “Crazy in Love” – Jay Z feat. Beyonce – Hot 100 Chart Peak: 1 for eight weeks (July 12, 2003)
According to billboard.com, “The fiercely private Bey and Jay reportedly started dating after their first collaboration, 2002’s “’03 Bonnie & Clyde,” which peaked at no. 4 on the Hot 100. In May 2003, they took their budding romance to new musical heights with “Crazy in Love.” (Jay improvised his verse at a 3 a.m. recording session, the night before Beyonce’s debut solo album, ‘Dangerously in Love,’ was due to her label.) Eleven years after “Crazy” topped the Hot 100, the now-married couple’s hit-making streak continues; “Drunk in Love,” their collab from Beyonce’s 2013 self-titled album, hit no. 2 on the Hot 100 in February 2014.”
