Here's "Sunny"s by Bobby Hebb performed by The Ugly Band consisisting of Dave Toussaint on Harmonica his son Paul and Joe Kerr on guitar recorded by me in rather poor lighting conditions (alas that was out of my control) at Bunjies Folk Cellar in Litchfield Street London WC2 in 1997.

"Sunny" is a song written by Bobby Hebb. It is one of the most covered popular songs, with hundreds of versions released. BMI rates "Sunny" number 25 in its "Top 100 songs of the century.

Hebb wrote the song in the 48 hours following a double tragedy on November 22, 1963, the day U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and Hebb's older brother Harold was stabbed to death outside a Nashville nightclub. Hebb was devastated by both events and many critics say that those events & critically the loss of his older brother inspired the lyrics & tune. According to Hebb, he merely wrote the song as an expression of a preference for a "sunny" disposition over a "lousy" disposition following the murder of his brother.
