Показать описание
"Sunny" was written by Bobby Hebb in response to the death of his brother, Hal who was a founding member of a group named The Marigolds who had a #12 R&B hit with "Rollin' Stone" in 1955.

Bobby was born July 26, 1941 into a musical family with blind parents who taught Bobby to play the guitar a a pre teen. A chance meeting with country singer Roy Acuff led to his becoming the first black man to play the Grand Ole Opry.

Hebb preferred to play with blues artists like Bo Diddley and country stars like Chet Atkins. He joined forces with Sylvia Shemwell and as Bobby and Sylvia, racked up a number of singles in the early 60's.

It was 1963 when Hal was killed in a mugging attempt which left Bobby inconsolable and he wrote "Sunny" as a way to help him deal with the death of his brother. It was never intended for anyone else but Bobby to hear.

Then in 1966, he found himself with studio time and decided to fully produce "Sunny" as filler but it became the strongest track on the album. The label issued "Sunny" as a single and it bounded up the charts peaking at #2 unable to dislodge The Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer In The City".

It has been covered numerous times since then and in 1976, Boney M recorded their version on their debut album.

One of the biggest hits of Boney M. Listened to the song all day.

Respect how you have retained the original flavour.

This song is my guilty pleasure. I think it’s superb. Listen fi. to the violins 🎻. That’s for sure sure not that easy at all! Great arrangement. Nice modulations. This song must be played very loud in the car 🚗!!

Simplemente me encantó!! Es perfecta. Le haré escuchar a mi papá, lo voy a transportar a sus 18 años, cuando gastaba las pistas de baile. Lo haré felíz sin dudas escuchando este belleza.

Dude I love how you respect the original sound in your work. Faithfull and sober attitude.
No stupid extra fat egotistic layers. Unless 99% of your colleagues, the sound stay sharp
in the tunes I heard from you so far.
