"The Beat Goes On" is a song recorded by Sonny and 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. It has been covered by American jazz musician Buddy Rich, jazz pianist/singer Patricia Barber, Italian singer Mina, 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 hit debut album, ...Baby One More Time. The song was recently featured on a television commercial for Egg Beaters.[citation needed]
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 Beat Goes On" was sung at Sonny Bono's funeral, and the phrase also appears on his tombstone.
