Renditions of Sunny - Reviewed by Producer Joe Viglione Sunny (Trooko Remix) Remixer: Trooko Mixing Engineer: Jeff Jackson Nov 16, 2023 / New Blues Rendition

 Sunny (Trooko Remix)

Review by JV 

Coming in at 3 minutes, Universal Music Group licensed this to YouTube 11/16/23.   This remix of the Jerry Ross original production is from Trooko and mixing engineer: Jeff Jackson who, according to A.I. Google: Trooko and Jeff Jackson are highly accomplished, award-winning music industry professionals who frequently collaborate on high-profile music releases, including tracks like the Sunny (Trooko Remix) by Bobby Hebb

It's simply stunning, a creative re-working with so many remixes of "Sunny" over the years - dynamic and different. 

There is no doubt that perhaps along with collector Richard Ely and producer Rudiger Ladwig, this human being - meaning me - has probably listened to "Sunny" more times than most on this planet (and having produced many a live version of my friend Bobby Hebb in concert,) ...that being said I keep playing and playing this remix...over and over again.   Superb.

Next up is: @thebluesguitarguy who has two parts of "Sunny" up.

These shorts drive me crazy, and not in a good way because we want the full renditions, but they are popping up weekly and for our Hebb Archives it is most frustrating.  However, Blues Guitar Guy's thoughtful and loving tribute to Bobby is nicely done.   We want the full version.  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TzbePdsDgfs?feature=share
