"The Beat Goes On" is a song written by Sonny Bono and recorded by Sonny & Cher. It was issued as a single and appeared on their 1967 album In Case You're In Love. It peaked at number 6 on the pop charts, charting January 14, 1967.
"The Beat Goes On" was sung at Sonny Bono's funeral, and the phrase also appears on his tombstone.
Over the years it has been covered by American jazz musician Buddy Rich with his 12-year-old daughter Cathy on vocals ( Buddy was joking when he said she was only 12, she was actually 19).[1] Other versions were recorded by jazz pianist/singer Patricia Barber, Italian singer Mina, Pop Group Orbit, 1983, and the French duo Casino Music. In 1998 a version by British electronic music group All Seeing I peaked at number 11 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] The group also produced a cover version of the song for Britney Spears in November 1998. "The Beat Goes On" is the first track on Songs We Should Have Written (2004) by Firewater.
This song is incorrectly referred to as "And The Beat Goes On" due to the closing lyric adding the word "and" to the song's title. There was an unrelated song released in 1980 titled "And the Beat Goes On" (recorded by The Whispers).
The song was also covered by Gabor Szabo on his 1967 album "The Sorcerer" and the British electronic music group All Seeing I who released their own version in the UK and produced a cover version of this for Britney Spears on her 1999 album "...Baby One More Time". Lots of other covers were made, among the version by the french acid-jazz group Le Cercle on their 2008 album "Magnetic"
A variation on the song was used in 1968 to advertise the Plymouth line of automobiles.
