The Sonny Side of Chér is the second studio album by American singer-actress Cher, released on February 1966 by Imperial. For her second album, Cher again collaborated with Sonny Bono and Harold Battiste. The album is by-and-large a covers album and contains two songs written by Bono. The title of the album is a pun on the name of Cher's first husband Bono. After its release, the album garnered positive reviews from critics.

The album also had two songs with French influence, "A Young Girl"…
