Pop music in the sixties produced a number of leading recording duos covering the music charts and influencing future song writers and groups even now. Let's explore a couple of successful duos from the 60's that also recorded as lesser known names just before they hit it big as the names they are known as today.

An early release by a duo that identified themselves Tom & Jerry in 1957 did not do well, although the pair did manage to crack the top 100 on the music charts. But subsequent releases became very substantial, not just for pop rock, but for folk rock on top of that.

After minimal results as Tom & Jerry and getting back together in the mid 60's as Simon and Garfunkel, the pair forged a path through pop and folk music that is iconic.

With a barrage of well crafted pop and folk arrangements, Simon and Garfunkel amassed many pop hits which include "Homeward Bound, ""Sounds Of Silence," "I Am A Rock," "Mrs. Robinson" (from the movie "The Graduate"), "The Boxer" as well as the Garfunkel-led ballad "Bridge Over Troubled Water," among others.

After they split up, Garfunkel went on to record quite a few well-received albums, but Paul Simon became recognized as one of the most legendary and vital song writers of the pop and rock music era.

You can now catch music rock bands playing cover songs that are played on online rock music stations around the world.

The husband and wife team of Caesar and Cleo did not secure fame and fortune until they changed their name to Sonny and Cher and went on to pop mega-stardom, not just in music, but in television as well.

Their breakthrough hit "I Got You Babe" hit number one status and held that position for 3 weeks in 1965. While still together as Sonny and Cher, each scored hits recording individually, Sonny with "Laugh At Me" and Cher with "All I Really Want To Do" and "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)."

Their magical musical blend and wisecracking repartee produced a highly successful CBS-TV variety television show that ran from 1971 to 1974. As a duo, Sonny and Cher secured top ten hits which include "Baby Don't Go," "The Beat Goes On," "All I Ever Need Is You" and "A Cowboy's Work Is Never Done." Sadly, the relationship ended in divorce in 1973, but the tale of Sonny and Cher does not.

They were briefly reunited in 1975 and Cher continued on to a great solo career and Sonny entered politics. Sonny Bono was elected mayor of Palm Springs, California and next elected to Congress in 1994 until his tragic demise from a skiing incident in 1998.

Now Cher remains peerless and is one of the most celebrated female singers. Her trademark voice is going to be for decades to come.
