When i got up this morning or afternoon actually, slept in and turned on the tv and Heart Break Ridge was on and had to watch it, love that movie! Hope you all are having a great afternoon and have a perfectly great evening too!
Very nice song! I remember it well from 1966!
Bobby Hebb (born Robert Von Hebb, July 26, 1938, Nashville, Tennessee - died August 3, 2010) was an singer and songwriter, best known for his writing and recording of "Sunny".
Hebb's parents, William and Ovalla Hebb, were both blind musicians. Hebb and his older brother Harold performed as a song-and-dance team in Nashville, beginning when Bobby was three and Harold was nine. Hebb performed on a TV show hosted by country music record producer Owen Bradley, which earned him a place with Grand Ole Opry star Roy Acuff.
Written and proformed 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".
"Sunny" has been covered by, among others, Boney M, Cher, Georgie Fame, Johnny Rivers, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra with Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, the Electric Flag, The Four Seasons, the Four Tops, James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Les McCann, Dusty Springfield, and The Alex Trio featuring David Wise.
Hebb wrote the song after suffering a double tragedy - a national loss followed by a personal one: On 22 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 many critics say that those events inspired the tune. Others claims Bobby wrote the song for God.
"Sunny" was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City and released as a single in 1966. It met an immediate success, which resulted in Hebb touring in 1966 with The Beatles.

Well I guess I'm just going to have to get my snow in pix this year... hitting mid-high 60's this weekend and for the next 10 afterwards... I guess I shouldn't complain considering what's going on for everyone else... in-town snow would have been nice though.
It could be worse . . .

I'd just like to have some of it... on the mesa side of ABQ we rarely get "a lot" of snow, but this year - none. I use that as a gauge for how bad the wildfires will be this summer - again. Which means access to outdoors-ing 
is quite restricted. This year, not even a fraction of this all winter:

I could have sworn us asians built those railroad tracks, why are they in there? Lol j/k have fun working SD.
If any of you see one of these in the snow stay away... they're much more powerful than your average elk
That would be so cool to see how fast that thing runs!!! I'd want to give that a go.
