"Sunny" is a staple on dozens and dozens and dozens of CD anthology / compilation type albums and discs.

It is an enormous task to identify all the vinyl single discs and boxed sets as well as all the karaoke CDs featuring instrumental versions of "Sunny". 

In the coming months we will identify key albums that contain Bobby's work  (the From Where I Stand box on Warner Brothers contains "Night Train to Memphis" and "A Satisfied Mind" from Bobby Hebb; the Rich Records stories carries six sides Bobby recorded for John R (John Richbourg), so there are many Hebb tracks that are not "Sunny" on many compilation albums including "Love Love Love", "You Want To Change Me", the rare Scepter/Wand single "I Love Mary" etc.
