31. Sunny by Bobby Hebb debuted Jun 66 and peaked at number two, scoring 1089 points. It peaked at number three on the r&b chart, and at number 12 in England.
Bob was born in Nashville to a pair of blind musicians. He was on stage at the age of three with his nine year old brother, and was seen on tv as a boy with Owen Bradley, and played with Roy Acuff's band.
He had three chart entries, all in 1966. The follow-up made the top 40. Bob wrote Sunny, a song that has been covered many many times, including Cher, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, and Billie Eilish, although Bob's original is the only one to chart. His other success as a songwriter was co-writing Lou Rawls' 1971 hit, A Natural Man with comedian Sandy Baron.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SAM COOKE, the King of Soul and one of America’s most influential singer-songwriters, creative pioneers, and game-changers, with hit songs like “Chain Gang,” “Cupid,” “Saturday Night,” “Twisting the Night Away,” “You Send Me,” and so many more. Born in 1931, Sam had a turbulent personal life but a rich and successful career, spending years in the gospel circuit where he developed his instantly recognizable tenor. He had remarkable pitch, described as “effortlessly soulful,” going up to a high C without losing purity or volume, and with an upper mid-range coated with a unique rasp. His style was very adaptable, adopting a classical sound on jazz and pop songs while maintaining his trademark hold on R&B, gospel, and soul music. He even dabbled in country, and he may have been the first soul singer to cover Bob Dylan. Sam’s influence has been cited by singers such as James Brown, Bryan Ferry, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Paul McCartney, Johnny Nash, Steve Perry, Otis Redding, Diana Ross, Rod Stewart, and many more.
Sam also had a significant role in the Civil Rights Movement. In 1964 he wrote the anthemic “A Change is Going to Come” after an altercation at a whites-only hotel in Louisiana. He went on to use his popularity to appeal to whites and blacks, joining a platform with his friends Muhammed Ali, Jim Brown, and Malcolm X to campaign for racial equality.
Sam rescued the song “Wonderful World” after it was shelved by Lou Adler and Herb Alpert, who co-wrote and produced the initial recording circa 1959. Sam added a “scholastic” theme and it graduated to a big hit single in 1960. It’s been covered many times, with notable performances by Bryan Ferry, Herman’s Hermits (w/Jimmy Page on guitar), Art Garfunkel w/Paul Simon & James Taylor, Johnny Nash, Otis Redding, and others—not to mention the pivotal scene in the Amish-noir 1985 WITNESS film w/Harrison Ford. Meanwhile, HB Sam—thank you for blazing a trail with such an incredible voice.

Our pal Ben Schwag has been restoring old tapes - and came across some vocals by Johnny Guitar Watson and Sly Stone!
So for the first time in 40 in years, you can hear unreleased (and unmixed) music by these two. Schwag details it here (in French). If you don't understand it, just skip forward and enjoy the music straight from the mixing desk.
