Yes, he did co-write it, under a pseudonym while working for Specialty Records.
He also co-wrote Needles and Pins with Jack Nitzsche.
Plus he wrote I Got You Babe, The Beat Goes On, Bang Bang as well as produced them.
Flowers.
Sonny was one of several sponsors of the Copyright Act. And just to clarify, when he was in office, the 44th District was comprised primarily of Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and several suburbs around Riverside...all in Riverside County. He was mayor of Palm Springs prior to being elected to Congress.
Thanks for the correction.
Ditto. No apologies. And we haven't even started in on what he did to Copyright law. What was that quip of Dylan's in It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) Money doesn't talk — it swears.

OT: Sonny Bono's "Death Skis" For Sale On Craigslist

The skis that Sonny Bono wore when he hit a tree and died at a resort in South Lake Tahoe in 1998 are on sale on Craigslist.
Bono was a politician and a one-time pop and TV star who shared the stage and spotlight with his then-wife Cher.
According to the post on the Craigslist, the skis "were shipped back to Los Angeles/Palm Springs after the tragic accident and are still wrapped in the American Airlines travel plastic bag with correct identification and dates."
The seller calls it "an extremely rare opportunity to own an unusual piece of rock and roll history."

Years ago (around 1995), I was inline skating from Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia up the George Washington Parkway bike trail toward Washington, DC. When my group got to Gravelly Point, near the end of the National Airport runway, I saw Sonny and family (BTW, wife Mary is much taller). I yelled, "Hey, Sonny, what's happening?" and got a "Hey, how ya doin'?" in that inimitable nasal tone in response.
Sonny was the US Congressman for a district that consisted mainly of Orange County, California. His constituents included Disney. His big contribution as a legislator was sponsoring amendments to the Copyright Act which extended copyright protection, arguably beyond the founders' intent. Disney doesn't want Mickey Mouse and other of its prized creations to fall into the public domain any time soon.

He was mayor of Palm Springs prior to being elected to Congress.

Ah yes, we owe a lot to Sonny. If it wasn't for Sonny, we'd still have dental floss bikinis on Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. Thanks Sonny — way top go!
T-BACK BIKINI
From the front, it looks like an ordinary string bikini. From the back, it looks like a piece of dental floss. Behold, the T-back bikini bottom, also known as a thong or floss bikini.
Although strippers have worn g-strings for years, it took a fashion designer to bring it to the beach. Fashion designer Rudi Gernreich, who in the mid-1960s created the first topless swimsuit, is credited with introducing the modern thong or T-back in 1974. Thongs first became popular as a swimsuit style in South America, particularly in Brazil. In the 1990s, the thong began to gain wider acceptance and popularity on the beaches and pool decks of America.
One person who didn't want to see the T-back bikini was Palm Springs mayor Sonny Bono. Bono, ... spoke out against the T-back and got the city council to ban the style within the city limits.

For about a dozen years, myself and 2 buddies would jam on a weekly basis. Everything was unrehearsed. It was a combo of covers and original music. We often created songs about important events of the week. We recorded almost everything we did. We did a 20 minute jam dedicated to Sonny Bono the week he died, but it was so politically incorrect (as was most of what we did) we have never played it for anyone. I pull it out about once a year to listen to it. It's both sick and funny.
