What is your favorite cover of "Sunny" ?

As we develop CD 2 for the Bobby Hebb boxed set, we are asking Bobby's fans to mail us ... Hebb_project [@} yahoo.com to tell us why they think a rendition should be added! Different Lyric and Instrumentals and different tempos are part of the consideration! ____________________________________ BILL COSBY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz4kakIj6w4 Bobby Hebb allowed very few people to alter his words - only the first studio version by Frankie Valli and this beautiful version by Bill Cosby stand out as having lyrics different from the Bobby Hebb original.

Pepper by Bill Cosby that a fan created  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xauvA9flBnw&playnext=1&list=PL88C780A8B763F805&feature=results_main ____________________________________________________ TOM JONES & ELLA FITZGERALD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GL6FcsNZzE ____________________________________________________ BOOKER T & THE MG's http://www.youtube.com...

RIP Mickey Baker - produced Bobby Hebb's "I Wish"

  Bobby Hebb replaced Mickey Baker in the duo MICKEY AND SYLVIA. The act became "Bobby and Sylvia" and recorded a 45 RPM on Battle.  ___________________________________ Rest in Peace MICKEY BAKER MacHouston Baker (October 15, 1925 – November 27, 2012) , known as Mickey Baker and Mickey "Guitar" Baker __________________________________ Mickey Baker, Guitarist, Is Dead at 87 By BRUCE WEBER Published: November 29, 2012  Mr. Baker is probably best known for a single song, “Love Is Strange,” a sexy pop tune that he and Sylvia Vanderpool Robinson recorded in 1956 as Mickey & Sylvia.
