Having worked in radio for over 30 years, including several oldies stations, my expertise is 60s & 70s music. I`ve long been a fan of oldies and trivia, and have a large music library and several great books as well.
I have been stumped finding out who (besides sonny and cher) sang the song Sonny. I am trying to find the popular version from the early/mid sixtys. Any help you can provide will be appreciated.
Lyrics for song are as follows.
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and then it eased my pain
Now the dark days are gone and bright days are here
My Sunny once shined so sincere, Sunny once so true
I love you I love you
Sunny thank you for the sunshine you gave to me
Sunny thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel that I'm 10 feet tall
Sunny once so true, I love you
Sunny thank you for the truth that you let me see
Sunny thank you for the facts from A to Z
Somehow I was torn like a wind blown sail
Then our love was borned when you held my hand
Sunny once so true, I love you
Sunny thank you for the sunshine you gave to me
Sunny thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel that I'm 10 feet tall
Sunny once so true, I love you
Answer Hi Don,
The song "Sunny" was a hit for Bobby Hebb in 1966. It was said that he wrote it in 1963 after the death of his brother and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The song reached #2 and was Bobby Hebb's only big hit.
