Ah, love, it makes the world go round, it has been said. And music, on the other hand, “has the charm of calming the wild chest.” So what happens when you unite these two powerful forces? We have something the world loves to see: a musical power couple.
Here are some of the most notable power couples in music, in no particular order:
1. Yoko Ono and John Lennon. This is so classic that it hardly needs explanation. John Lennon is a music icon who will remain the stuff of legends as long as rock ‘n’ roll exists in this world. Yoko Ono is an artist and musician in her own right; she was also the woman John Lennon publicly adored and gave his heart to.
Ono was Lennon’s soul mate, his faithful companion in his later years, his biggest fan. She was by Lennon’s side that fateful day he was assassinated. Since then, he has kept the fires of Lennon’s crusades burning. If ever there was a musical power couple that we will hear about forever, this is it.
2. Sonny and Cher. Here’s another classic team, although sadly it didn’t last. Sonny Bono and Cherilyn LaPiere met in 1962, when Sonny was working at Gold Star Studios in Hollywood. They married in 1964 and released two songs the same year, but their stardom did not come until 1965, when their single “I Got You Baby” catapulted to number 1. This was followed by several more hits, and Sonny and Cher became a familiar name.
Unfortunately, her married life was not as successful as her professional one. In 1974, after several years of domestic turmoil, they divorced on unfriendly terms. In 1998, Sonny died in a ski accident. But Cher lives and continues to shine on her own terms, albeit less brightly than before. Maybe it’s because the world can’t really imagine Cher without Sonny. For us, it will always be “Sonny and Cher.”
3. Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony. If you’ve ever seen J-Lo and Mark Anthony perform a song together, it won’t be hard to imagine the kind of chemistry the two could have. This couple sizzles on stage. They seem to light each other on fire. If only marriage could be seen like this on the four walls of the domestic abode, probably no one would ever get a divorce.
But the stage is not home and acting is not the same as everyday reality. In 2011, after a seven-year marriage, the couple announced their separation. This, however, does not mean that they are no longer performing together on stage, so even if they are no longer a couple in real life, they are still an incredibly powerful couple in the music industry.
4. Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber. If there is something more interesting to see than love, it is young love. Born in 1994, Justin Bieber released his first full-length album My World 2.0 in 2010. By 2011, he had already received several awards, including American Music Awards Artist of the Year and Billboard’s Best New Artist. Music Awards.
It was also in 2011 that his relationship with Selena Gomez was revealed. Gomez, who has been in show business since she was seven years old, has starred in several movies, won multiple music awards and was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2008.
Of course, the two are not married; Still, it can be said that they are the most watched music power couple in 2012.
5. Beyoncé and Jay-Z. They have worked together on several songs, such as “’03 Bonnie & Clyde” in 2002, “Crazy in Love” in 2003 and “Deja Vu” in 2006; most of them became big hits. Each of them has won various music awards. In 2006, Time magazine listed them as the most powerful couple on its list of the 100 most influential people. In 2008, they got married. And in 2012, Beyoncé gave birth to her first child, Blue Ivy.
They are, without a doubt, the most powerful couple in the music industry today. We can only hope they keep making great music together for a long, long time.
