Sonny & Cher's signature hit -- and 1960's classic -- I Got You Babe has been added to the Grammy Hall Of Fame, Billboard reports:

The Recording Academy has announced 25 new musical works that will be added to the Grammy Hall of Fame, including pieces by Prince, David Bowie, Nirvana, N.W.A and more.
