Sunny was written by Bobby Hebb. Conflicting info says he wrote it after the death of his brother, though Hebb is quoted as saying "All my intentions were just to think of happier times – basically looking for a brighter day – because times were at a low tide." He Bobby toured with with Beatles on the success of this song.

Let's start with the cover which most surprised me.

Also in 1966, Cher released an album of covers and included Sunny on it. Some people think she sings it as a tribute to her then husband Sonny Bono. She starts off slowly, but then picks up with a "Sonny and Cher" vibe to the tune. She achieved Scandanavian success with her single. Ranked #1 & 2 in Netherlands, #1 in Norway, and #3 in Sweden.
