I have 6 different versions of this song. each one is wonderful. My order of preference is as follows:

1.Bobby hebb.
2.Boney M.
3.Georgie fame.
4.Boogie pimps.
5.Andy Williams.
6.Cher.

Are there others? are there versions that are a shit and potato pie?

There's one by Wilson Pickett.

nick cave covers it on the b-side of a 90's single. pretty ok, but everything pales next to bobby hebb's original.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 24 February 2006 01:32 (twenty years ago)

Any good?

― Ant, Friday, 24 February 2006 01:33 (twenty years ago)

pretty ok.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 24 February 2006 01:38 (twenty years ago)

Jack McDuff and Fathead Newman did this on Double Barrelled Soul. Cool album.

... not his best, it must be admitted

― Tom D (Tom D.), Tuesday, 16 September 2008 10:35 (seventeen years ago)

... by the way that is Leonard Nimoy's version of "Sunny", in case that image didn't work

I once had to review an album consisting entirely of versions of sunny - http://www.shazam.com/music/portal/media-type/html/page/album/productid/58491/Georgie+Fame/A+Collection+Of+Various+Interpretations+Of+Sunny.html

It was a bit much, to be honest.

there's a walker brothers version.

Joe Bataan did a nice version of this once upon a time...

― henry s, Tuesday, 16 September 2008 14:02 (seventeen years ago)

pardon the pedantry, Mr. Brown, but Bobby Hebb was from Nashville, not Memphis.

Ha, that mistake almost messed me up once on this thread 100 great records from Memphis

― henry s, Tuesday, 16 September 2008 14:59 (seventeen years ago)

Jackie Mittoo does a nice version of this song on that soul jazz comp "the keyboard king of studio one"

^sure you ain't thinking of "Summer Breeze"?

― henry s, Tuesday, 16 September 2008 17:09 (seventeen years ago)

i am thinking of summer breeze haha you are correct. scratch that.

i always get those songs confused for some reason

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 16 September 2008 17:53 (seventeen years ago)

well, when I mentioned Joe Bataan, I was actually thinking about "When Sunny Gets Blue", so there's a lot of dazed confusion going around...

Oh god, I just re-read that. Geir was in not-so-rare form. I love this exchange about the Memphis recording industry:

Most of them only used the same boring three chords over and over.

i have got a piano instrumental version by oscar peterson. it shines & swings like hell. about a zillion times better than the boney m.

Billy Thunderkloud does a overly dramatic "Sunny" on this record. I love it.
