Bang Bang [My Baby Shot Me Down] (Cher)

28 MARCH 1966

Cher's solo single 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)' reached #3 in the UK and #2 in the USA. It was written by her then-husband Sonny Bono, and became her first million-seller in the UK and her biggest-selling solo record of the 1960s.

The song, which tells a bit of a story, has been covered numerous times (perhaps most notably by Nancy Sinatra in 1966).
