Gina - you'rej oking aren't you? Sunny is a great song and a superb recording by Bobby Hebb. It's just that we've all heard it a gazillion times and it's difficult to listen with fresh ears.

C'mon Col 2, you must know Bobby Herb, he normally duets with Aloe Vera. I've got some copies out in the shed - mint condition if you're interested. Think about it, sage investment.

Rare? Nah..

Hebb wrote this in tribute to John F. Kennedy, but also in tribute to his brother, who was killed by a mugger in 1963.

This was recorded to fill out an album at the end of a session.

Cher recorded this in the '60s as a tribute to her partner, Sonny Bono.

"Sunny" is the name of a song written by Bobby Hebb. It is one of the most covered popular songs, with hundreds of versions released. BMI rates "Sunny" number 25 in its "Top 100 songs of the century".

Hebb wrote the song after suffering a double tragedy - a national loss followed by a personal one: On 23 November 1963, the day after US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Hebb's older brother Harold was killed in a knife fight outside a Nashville nightclub. Hebb was devastated by both events and sought comfort in songwriting. The song he wrote was the optimistic "Sunny":

"All my intentions were just to think of happier times basically looking for a brighter day because times were at a low tide. After I wrote it, I thought "Sunny" just might be a different approach to what Johnny Bragg was talking about in 'Just Walkin' in the Rain'".

"Sunny" was recorded in New York City and released as a single in 1966. It met an immediate success, which resulted in a tour with The Beatles for Hebb.

Many other artists have recorded their own versions of the song, including Georgie Fame and Cher (both of whom charted their versions in the UK in 1966), Frank Sinatra with Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, the Electric Flag, The Four Seasons, the Four Tops, Wilson Pickett, Les McCann, Dusty Springfield, James Brown, Classics IV, Jose Feliciano, Johnny Mathis, Del Shannon, Buddy Richard, Leonard Nimoy ( ), Marvin Gaye, Stanley Jordan and Twinset featuring Barnaby Weir. Another successful remake was released by Boney M in 1977. This version was sampled by the Boogie Pimps and used to create their 2004 hit "Sunny."

Hebb himself released a disco version of the song in 1976, and had minor success on Billboard's R&B chart with it.

Both Sides on the Bobby Hebb Album SUNNY.

[Guest kid mohair]

Thats the kiddie,blimey forgot about this thread anyway the reason was that a miss spelt record was sold at some auction for thousands just because of the spelling mistake, they stopped production and corrected it but a few got out and years later rocketed in value ....... just a thought. andy.

Thanks Ian, I didn't know that and it's fascinating. I'll listen to the song in a different light now.

The Bobby Herb thing is probably a spelling error by typesetter at printers, as such, I suppose it could be rare but it would take a "special" type of collector to pay out for it..........

John.

for the very special type of collectors HMV copied the spelling error on CD:

[Guest WPaulVanDyk]

but hanving mispelt songs and stuff can mean less in producution like running 20 before realizing there's a problem, surely those 20 would be worth more.
