Bobby Hebb - The tribute to the genius

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.

HOVER 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.)
