Chris Montez has a wonderful version of Sunny with the sound you can hear on two of his pop hits (The More I See You and Call Me), the chorus of voices towards the end of the song with that lounge almost live feel to it.
Chris changes the lyrics, as Bill Cosby and Frankie Valli did:
Now the dark days are bright / the bright days are here
My Sunny one / so sincere
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzitSGzJ4pQ
1:45 in "You're my star of nature's fire / You're my sweet, complete desire"
2:03 "Yesterday my heart was filled with pain"
You can find the Chris Montez version of "Sunny" on these albums. Thanks to Dick Ely for his hard work cataloging the "Sunny" versions

Rare video clip of the song "Sunny" from the NBC show Brass are Comin'. Also, track is on the album, as well. Sorry so grainy, but it's all I got. I hope you all enjoy.
P.S. I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to see Herb and Lani play at Blues Alley in Georgetown Washington DC 12 May 2008. The show was absolutely spectacular. After all these years, they both still have it: the skills and the love. Truly a remarkable show. Herb and Lani, thanks to all of the wonderful years of warming our hearts with your great art work. You both are truly blessed as well as I was at your show.

LIBERACE FILM TO BROADCAST in 2012!
LIBERACE BIO PIC SCHEDULED FOR NEXT SUMMER
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/17/liberace-jerry-weintraub-hbo_n_1015573.html?ir=Gay%20Voices
First announced in 2008, the biopic of Liberace finally found its home last week at HBO, with the cable network announcing that it will air the Steven Soderbergh-directed film after it starts production next summer. Titled "Behind The Candelabra," the film gets its name from the memoir of Scott Thorson, Liberace's younger lover. Michael Douglas, whose bout with cancer pushed back the film's initial production date, will play Liberace, while Matt Damon will tackle the role of Thorson.
SPACE AGE BACHELOR PAD MUSIC!
http://spaceagebachelorpad.blogspot.com/
Bobby Hebb's immortal classic, "Sunny", has touched on a number of important genres. As Kal Rudman wrote in the liner notes, it hit the trifecta with Pop, R & B and Country charting the song.
But "Sunny" has also become a Jazz standard, as well as a funk song; it is a song that can cross ALL genres. And someday we may release an album of different renditions of "Sunny" that touches those unique and very distinctive styles of music.
SPACE AGE BACHELOR PAD and NORTHERN SOUL are two very hip trends which have Bobby Hebb as a hero of the genre. We will explore this in a future essay in more detail.

Sunny by Bobby Hebb, violated in my own inimitable probaly illegal way. Just trying to to sing my way through three key changes without getting off key too much ;-)
I used Andrew Rogers' tab for this one. Andrew's no longer with us, but he deserves out eternal graitude for the extremely accurate 60s tabs he's left us with. If you're a guitar player and you like 60s stuff, check him out. (No Beatles though. He didn't like 'em, I think.)

Joe Viglione's review of Roger Williams performing "Sunny"
BORN FREE lp featuring "Sunny"
http://www.allmusic.com/album/born-free-r68398/review
Bobby Hebb's "Sunny" gets a superior treatment. Where Dusty Springfield had orchestration which hinted at the James Bond theme, Ralph Carmichael pushes the orchestra to the limit and this jazz/swing version dances around the nuances of Hebb's composition, the piano dominant with the big band following Roger Williams' lead. Hebb has stated that he's recorded it twice and (outside of live versions) he doesn't want to perform it a third time, but some hip producer could always sample his voice and slip it over this stunning rendition for a few cameo appearances. The song is timeless, and this instrumental in the right film could bring the Born Free album by Roger Williams back into the charts.

Frank heeft een prettige stem die bij momenten iets wegheeft van Michael Bublé, maar naarmate het album vordert toch net wat te vlak is om te blijven boeien. Op Hammond, Rhodes en Wurlitzer kan hij een stuk lekkerder uit de voeten. Bijvoorbeeld in de solo van "Sunny" dat, hoewel het nergens op de hoes staat, wel degelijk een cover is van Bobby Hebb.

Nach einer kurzen Umziehpause zeigt Esther – nun im sexy Minikleid und High Heels Stiefel – mit ihrer Band ihren eigenen Style; Ridstyle eben. Authentisch und mit beeindruckender Stimme überzeugt sie mit teilweise rockigen und poppigen Elementen und deutschen Texten. Zwischendurch unternimmt sie Ausflüge in vergangene Zeiten mit Titeln wie „Sunny” (Bobby Hebb) und „What a difference a day makes” (Dinah Washington). Höhepunkt war dann die Premiere einer deutschen Version des Winehouse-Titels „You know I’m no good”. Am Ende schafft sie es, dass alles tanzt und singt: „Du liebst mich, ich lieb dich”.

Die ursprünglich angesetzte Behler’s Banjo Band muss wegen einer Erkrankung ausfallen. Statt derer spielt in der Zwiebel ab 19 Uhr die Accord’on bleu Combo. Die sechs Musiker haben Latinjazz, Funk- und Soulklassiker im Repertoire; unter anderem werden Stücke von Carlos Santana oder Bobby Hebb zu hören sein.

Mystisches bei Winehouse-Titel
Konzert Fünf Bands im Kulturzentrum Ofenerdiek
ANZEIGE
Nach einer kurzen Umziehpause zeigt Esther – nun im sexy Minikleid und High Heels Stiefel – mit ihrer Band ihren eigenen Style; Ridstyle eben. Authentisch und mit beeindruckender Stimme überzeugt sie mit teilweise rockigen und poppigen Elementen und deutschen Texten. Zwischendurch unternimmt sie Ausflüge in vergangene Zeiten mit Titeln wie „Sunny” (Bobby Hebb) und „What a difference a day makes” (Dinah Washington). Höhepunkt war dann die Premiere einer deutschen Version des Winehouse-Titels „You know I’m no good”. Am Ende schafft sie es, dass alles tanzt und singt: „Du liebst mich, ich lieb dich”.
