New song, new video...
I like the song, I like the video, but like most of you, I miss the Jon/Richie dynamic. But if you look close, you'll see Richie in the video more than once.

Richie Sambora and Orianthi Duet on Sonny & Cher's 'I Got You Babe' Just in Time for Valentine's Day
To kick off the Valentine’s Day festivities, Richie Sambora and Orianthi have released a modern rendition of Sonny & Cher’s 1965 hit “I Got You Babe” on Thursday.
“‘I Got You Babe’ is one of the best duets of all time and it’s a song that reminds us that true affection has no limitations,” the couple said in a joint statement to PEOPLE. “Ori and I loved paying homage to this timeless Sonny & Cher classic.”
When the former Bon Jovi guitarist, 58, first met the Australian singer, 33, in Hawaii in 2013, sparks flew — both creatively and romantically. Now, the match made in heaven has a whole lot of love to spread to their fans. The pair are also releasing a new original song titled “Forever All the Way.”
“We’ve been doing our own duets and writing so much music together as RSO, and ‘Forever All The Way’ is a song we wrote about sincere commitment,” they added. “And just like Valentine’s Day, this song isn’t only about romance, it’s also about love for a child, a parent, a friend, or a family member.”
After writing nearly 70 songs over a two-year period, RSO’s first release came in September 2017 in the form of a five-song EP called Rise. Their debut full-length album is due out in April.
“I Got You Babe” and “Forever All The Way” are available for purchase and download now.

New Music is Coming...

Coming in 2018: New Bon Jovi music
ASBURY PARK, N.J. — The new year means new music for Bon Jovi, said frontman Jon Bon Jovi during a Facebook Live on Thursday.
“We’re going to put out a couple of new songs to share with you for the new year,” said Bon Jovi. “I think they’re pretty good. Just two tracks to support what we hope to be sharing with you in 2018.”
Bon Jovi then gave a telling wink.
The new music will be the band’s follow up to This House Is Not for Sale, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s album chart when it was released in November 2016.
Later in the broadcast, Bon Jovi said that current events will inform one of the songs.
“The current news has obviously been filtered for the past year to a place where I’m able to process some of it and put melodies to it, so there is some mention without being too opined,” Bon Jovi said. “It’s definitely prevalent in one of the two new songs.
“The world’s gone crazy — I’m looking to you guys, the next generation, to reinvent the wheel,” Bon Jovi said. “Be the future you want to be because we’re counting on you. It’s not being political if you’re worried about taking care of the planet that we live on and the people around you. We’re all more alike than we are different.”
Bon Jovi took a handful of questions that were posted to the band’s Facebook page and answered them for about 15 minutes. He spoke about maybe someday bringing the story of Tommy and Gina to Broadway, his growth as a songwriter and what the band has been rehearsing as of late.
Bon Jovi is expected to tour in 2018.
Songs from “These Days and a lot of the album tracks form ‘Keep the Faith,” Bon Jovi said of the rehearsal material. “We’ve been playing Dry Country again and Blaze of Glory, These Days and Hey God, so the rehearsals are feeling really great.”
The current lineup includes David Bryan on keyboards, Tico Torres, drums; Hugh McDonald, bass; Everett Bradley, percussion and backing vocals; and Phil Xenidis and John Shanks on guitars.
Bon Jovi also thanked fans for the more than 1 million fan votes they’ve received for possible induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
“I came here to say thanks for exceeding a million votes with another week to go,” Bon Jovi said. “It’s really nice that our friends out there who supported the band for such a long time are having their voices heard. It’s been fun.”
Bon Jovi is one of 19 nominees for the Rock Hall’s Class of 2018. The top five fan voted acts will compose a fan’s ballot that will count as one of the ballots.
Radiohead, Rage Against The Machine, Depeche Mode, Judas Priest, Kate Bush, the Cars, Dire Straits, Eurythmics, J. Geils Band, LL Cool J, MC5, the Meters, the Moody Blues, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Nina Simone, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Link Wray and The Zombies are this year’s other nominees.
The 2018 inductees will be announced later this month and inducted on April 14 in Cleveland. Fans can vote once a day for their favorites through Tuesday at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s web site, rockhall.com/vote.
“Fingers crossed,” Bon Jovi said. “We’ll find out in the next couple of weeks.” Read more...
Richie + Orianthi = Sonny & Cher?

Richie Sambora Says His Album With Orianthi Is ‘Sonny and Cher on Steroids’
While Bon Jovi is looking to have their next album, This House Is Not for Sale, out next month, their former guitarist has been prepping his own record. Richie Sambora and his girlfriend Orianthi talked a bit about the work that they’ve been working on for about two years.
Speaking on the red carpet at the Billboard Power 100 in the video above, Sambora said, “It’s basically Sonny and Cher on steroids. We looked back on our career and saw the different styles of music that we did and, when you make a record, obviously, you have to own it. After 40 years in this business I know if we owned it or not.”
“I can’t wait for everyone to hear it,” Orianthi, who has shared stages with Alice Cooper, Steve Vai and Carlos Santana, said. “We’ve been working hard on it and [we’re] finishing it up really soon, so something should be out in the next few months. I’m hoping, you know. We have to decide on a single, but it’s a really big-sounding album and I can’t wait to play it live, too […] Richie’s singing his butt off, playing his butt off and writing with him, too, has, you know, been really great — a lot of fun.”
Sambora talked to Ultimate Classic Rock last year where he said that the couple had “started recording right at the beginning of January,” and they had stockpiled about 60 songs in the 11 months prior to that. “We hit a nerve about probably 20 songs in that we knew we were onto something. I think those 20 are really good songs,” he added, “but stylistically we started to hit our vein around 20 in and it just kept getting better and better and then we were just bouncing [songs] off of my producer friends, Dave Stewart, Bob Rock, Michael Bearden — just great people.”
