Cher: Ringo, I Love You (YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!)

Art photos of Cher from the mid 1960's along with her very first recording, "Ringo, I Love You (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
which she recorded under the name, Bonnie Jo Mason. More about this song in Cher history
Cher at the time was 16 and was dating the much older Sonny (he was already 27) who was working for record producer Phil Spector at Gold Star Studios in Hollywood.[
With encouragement from Sonny, Cher who was studying acting at the time, started as a session singer, and sang backup on several of Spector's classic recordings, including The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", The Crystals' "Da Doo Ron Ron" and The Ronettes' "Be My Baby".

Her first solo recording was the unsuccessful novelty single "Ringo, I Love You," released under the pseudonym of Bonnie Jo Mason and produced by Phil Spector.

"Ringo, I Love You" along with the flip side "Beatle Blues" was the first single released on Phil Spector's Annette 1000 label on March 4, 1964 (Cher had turned 17).

Clocking in at just under one minute fifty seconds it is now a piece of musical history.




Here are the lyrics if you wanna zip up your Beatle boots and sing along....



Ringo, I love you yeah yeah yeah
More than anything in this world
I wanna be your only girl
Please let me hold your ...
Ringo, they say yeah yeah yeah
I'll never get to hold it tight
But still I dream of you at night
Please let me hold your hand

I want to run my fingers
Through your hair
I want to let you know
How much, how much I care

Ringo, I love you yeah yeah yeah
More than anything in this world
I wanna be your only girl
Please let me hold your ...
Ringo ... Ringo
More than anything
I want to wear your ring
Oh Ringo ... I love you ...
I wanna be your girl ...girl ...
girl ... yeah ... yeah ...

This expresses my feelings for him exactly. Does anyone else get that ecstatic - I'm spazztically screaming inside feeling at the mere thought of him?
