Sunny is an extract of the album of the same name. It is the title of a Chanson written by Bobby Hebb in 1966. It was the subject of a very significant number of interpretations.

The song was written by Bobby Hebb following two consecutive disastrous events: the assassination of the president John Fitzgerald Kennedy the November 22nd 1963 and, the following day, the death of his/her Harold older brother, stabbed outside a nightclub with Nashville. Broken down, the author wrote Sunny like a search for optimism. All that I wanted, it was to think of better times, one day better After having written it, I said itself that Sunny was undoubtedly an approach different from that about which Johnny Bragg spoke in the song Just Walkin in the Rain .

The success of the song was immediate, which had as a consequence for Hebb a round with the Beatles.

Among the artists who recorded their own version of Sunny , let us quote Georgia Fame, Cher, Frank Sinatra (with Duke Ellington), Ella Fitzgerald, the Electric Flag, The Four Seasons, the Four Signals, Wilson Pickett, McCann, Dusty Springfield, James Brown, Classics IV, Jose Feliciano, Johnny Mathis, Del Shannon, Buddy Richard, Leonard Nimoy, Robert Mitchum and Marvin Gaye. Bobby Hebb left a version Disco its song in 1976, with a certain success. The following year, in 1977, the group Boney M recorded its own version, with a more important success still. This version was samplée by the Boogie Pimps which have, in their turn and successfully, left a title entitled Sunny .

In France, Christophe Willem, gaining TV-hook Nouvelle Star , proposed to the televiewers his own version Sunny in a judged interpretation of enough good quality to be published into individual (it had never happened that a service of premium-time of this emission is the subject of an edition discographic).
