His first meeting with Cher is a good remember:

“ She looked different than everybody else … fur vests and bell-bottoms, it was all new at the time. I’d seen photos and thought she was this big hulking girl. She and Sonny were booked on The Carol Burnett Show in 1967. She came in to see me and I went, “Oh, my God. This girl is so beautiful and little.”
I mean, she was like Audrey Hepburn. She had good shoulders, a long neck, a long body and just photographed like a dream.
“I dressed her up for the Showboat finale, and I remember I was sitting in the hallway trying to fix some thread that had come loose on a dress. She came over and said, “One day, when we can afford it, I’m going to have a beaded dress.” I told her, “I’m ready when you are!”
