Johnny Mathis Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=1DEDB3401BCC047C
---------------------------------------------------
Recorded from the Columbia records LP, "Johnny's Greatest Hits," monaural (CL-1133), released in 1958 ("Johnny's Greatest Hits" is generally considered the first greatest hits album; it was popular, remaining on the Billboard Top Albums Chart for a then record-breaking 490 continuous weeks). Ray Coniff and his Orchestra accompany.
----------------------------------------------------
When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy
Then the rain begins to fall
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter,
Love is gone so what can matter?
No sweet lovin' man comes to call

When Sunny gets blue,
She breathes a sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the trees
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin'
Like some violins are playin'
Weird and haunting melodies

People used to love to hear her laugh,
See her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair she's lost her smile,
Changed her style
Somehow she's not the same

But memories will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry, new love, hurry here
To kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue

Hurry, new love, hurry here
To kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue

So rich and haunting. I loved it the first time I heard it on an oldies station KABL. Sigh, wish it didn't go off the air.

[stevevandien]

One of the great American pop music recordings. Don't know how many times I've heard it over the past 40-odd years, yet it never feels to move me.

[davidhertzberg]

@stevevandien Thanks, you're correct, it was composed in 1956. best, david (from my other channel)

[stevevandien]

1946 seems rather early to me -- '56, perhaps?

Lovely song, mangificent singer --

[ezabdullah]

I introduced this song to my 14 year old daughter who fell in love with it... she is in high school choir and I wanted to introduce her to some really awesome music my parents introduced to me... and now she wants to learn these songs.... makes me happy that she has found such a love of such songs like this...
