AllMusic Review by Joe Viglione

Skillfully blending Nick Perito's orchestrations with the duo's always clever attack on their respective Baldwin pianos, A Bouquet of Hits strikes a delicate balance that gives a true musical definition for the term "middle of the road." The craftsmanship is evident with their taking composers Jimmy Webb and Bobby Hebb to different realms on intuitive readings of "MacArthur Park," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," and a dramatic Perito arrangement of "Sunny." "MacArthur Park" jumps out at you with the familiar melody surrounded by swirling piano runs while Hebb's "Sunny" has those same cascading keyboards in a Bob Crewe Generation-style livliness with a bit of the jazz arrangement found on Dusty Springfield's rendition. "Goin' out of My Head" was so emotional in the hands of Little Anthony that the stunning melody got side-stepped, same with Bobby Goldsboro's 1968 smash "Honey." Without the vocalists and with Ferrante & Teicher adding their sound illustrations,

Bobby Hebb (* 26. Juli 1941 in Nashville, Tennessee; eigentlich Robert Von Hebb) ist ein US-amerikanischer Sänger und Songwriter. Bekannt geworden ist er 1966 durch seinen Hit Sunny. Seine Eltern William und Ovalla Hebb waren beide blinde Musiker. Seit seinem neunten Lebensjahr trat Bobby Hebb zusammen mit seinem älteren Bruder in Nashville auf. Am 23. November 1963, dem Tag nach der Ermordung von John F. Kennedy, kam sein Bruder in einem Nachtclub außerhalb von Nashville bei einer Messerstecherei ums Leben. Hebb war durch diese beiden kurz aufeinanderfolgenden tragischen Ereignisse am Boden zerstört und suchte Trost beim Songschreiben. Sein einziges Bestreben war dabei nach eigenen Aussagen, an bessere Zeiten zu denken, da das Leben ihm zu diesem Zeitpunkt als so düster erschien. Das Ergebnis war Sunny.

Sunny est un extrait de l'album du même nom. C'est le titre d'une chanson écrite par Bobby Hebb en 1966. Elle a fait l'objet d'un nombre d'interprétations très important. La chanson a été écrite par Bobby Hebb à la suite de deux événements funestes consécutifs : l'assassinat du président John Fitzgerald Kennedy le 22 novembre 1963 et, le lendemain, le décès de son frère aîné Harold, poignardé à l'extérieur d'une boîte de nuit à Nashville. Effondré, l'auteur a écrit Sunny comme une recherche d'optimisme. « Tout ce que je voulais, c'était de penser à des temps meilleurs, un jour meilleur [...] Après l'avoir écrit, je me suis dit que Sunny était sans doute une approche différente de ce dont Johnny Bragg parlait dans la chanson Just Walkin in the Rain. »
