Sonny & Tiny Tim... Wait, What?

In 1965, pop music duo Sonny & Cher took America by storm with their hit single “I Got You Babe,” a song that would soon define the duo for the rest of their careers and become a staple in their performances. The single was a duet between the couple telling each other about their love for one another. The song was created during the psychedelia age and soon became one of the defining singles of that era. The popularity of the song would lead to many covers from a diverse number of artists including David Bowie, Etta James, and Manfred Mann. However, there was one interesting cover that bent the performative roles of gender in music at the time. Just three years after the original release of the hit, Tiny Tim released his cover of the song.
