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.
