“Sonny was the brains of that duo!”
Sonny was the promoter, a music producer, a business entrepreneur. Later on a mayor and congessman.
He was no slouch. The hippy dippy dude with the poncho, beads, and long hair was an act that helped sell the duo to the public and even put them on the air as hosts of their variety show.
I totally agree. Met him once and was surprised he wasn’t as looney as he looked and sounded on tv!
