The tune topped the Hot 100 on Aug. 14, 1965 – 49 years ago today – and spent three total weeks at No. 1. It was the first of 18 hits for the duo, who, according to Bono's memoir "And the Beat Goes On," didn't marry until 1969.
The pair's onstage banter turned the twosome into variety TV show stars in 1971 with CBS TV's The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour. The same year, Cher notched her first solo No. 1 with "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves."
