Best known for her Grammy-winning folk hit "We'll Sing in the Sunshine," Gale Garnett has since carved out a long-lived career as a writer and actress. Gale Zoë Garnett was born in Auckland, New Zealand, on July 17, 1942; her family moved to Canada when she was 11, and she made her public singing debut in 1960. In 1964, Garnett scored a Top Five pop hit with her original composition "We'll Sing in the Sunshine," and recorded her debut album, My Kind of Folk Songs, for RCA Victor. Riding the success of "We'll Sing in the Sunshine," which won a Grammy for Best Folk Recording, Garnett continued to record through the rest of the '60s with her backing band the Gentle Reign. Toward the end of the decade, she also began appearing in feature films and on television shows, usually in supporting roles. In subsequent years, Garnett also branched out into journalism, writing essays, columns, and book reviews for various newspapers and magazines. She also wrote and performed two one-person theater pieces, +Gale Garnett & Company and +Life After Latex. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

I like her and the song but, really, the lyrics make no sense.

[John1948Five]

@nbanolfkid I think they make sense. It's not the way I would want to live but it seems clear enough.

The 60's was a great time to grow up in musically starting with the Teen Idols, Girl Groups, Beach Boys/Surfing Music, the Beatles & all the great English & American Rock groups and finally the psycadelic era and Creedence Clearwater Revival. I wouldn't trade the memories for a million bucks!!!!

[John1948Five]

@m2xvdXfs Me too! The only thing I would trade it for is a chance to do it all over again!!!
