Album information

It was released in December 1973, entered the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart on December 22, 1973, and reached #175 on the Billboard album charts.

This was their third double album after 1968's Sonny & Cher's Greatest Hits and 1972's The Two of Us. The album is largely a collection of cover songs including "I Can See Clearly Now" (originally by Johnny Nash) and "Where You Lead" (originally by Carole King).
