When it comes to mastering the art of diversified trades, Salvatore Philip is in a league of his own. Popularly known as ‘Sonny Bono’, he was an eminent American singer, producer and politician. He rose to fame with the song “I got you Babe” which he sang in collaboration with his then girlfriend Cher. He began his career as a songwriter and moved on to acting in various television shows.

Bono still remains as the only Congressman to have scored a number one pop single on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
