Just You

"Just You" is a song written by Sonny Bono and recorded in January 1965 by US singing duo Sonny and Cher. The single, released in April 1965, was their first on the ATCO label; previously they were under contract to Reprise Records. Initially the record did not chart, but in the slipstream of the phenomenal success of "I Got You Babe" it was rereleased and in October reached a respectable #20 on Billboard's Hot 100. The B-side, "Sing C'est la Vie", fared much better in other parts of the world including Belgium, where it reached #1, and Australia.

The single was taken from Sonny and Cher's successful album Look at Us. In France the song was covered by young male singer Akim as "Pas sans moi", with French lyrics by Claude Carrière and Vline Buggy. It featured on an EP with the hit track "Devant le juke-box" ("If I Didn't Have a Dime"). Cher wrote in her autobiography that "Just You" remains one of her favorite tracks. The song and arrangement have similarities to both "Baby, I Love You" by The Ronettes and to "Paradise" (known for its cult versions by the Ronettes and The Shangri-Las). "Just You" became the duo's third top twenty hit after "I Got You Babe" and "Baby Don't Go".

In 1971, Tirso Cruz III with Nora Aunor on their duet album Dream Come True (under Vicor Records).
