Hey all
Been working doing a lot of tabs lately, when I came across this one by Tony Browne
www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUy-D9hlsIc
I always assumed that this was a British song and was used as a signature tune by the English Comedy Duo "Morecambe and Wise". It was recorded by The Mills Bros, in 1968.
Does anyone over the ocean there know this tune?
Tony did a good job on it, before he left this world. I'm halfway through working on it.
J.R.

Yes I know "Willie" did it, just that I asked an American friend who I regularly email about the song and had never heard of it!
As I said, the song is well know over here due to the comedy duo: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfXjDELeW5M Ha!

The song also has a lot of notariety, John. Thanks to https.//en.wikipedia.org.
The 30 November 1968 edition of Billboard magazine predicted that Willie Nelson's version of "Bring Me Sunshine" (produced by Chet Atkins and Felton Jarvis), would reach the Top 20 in the Country Single Charts, eventually reaching #13 in 1969. It was included in 1974 on the budget compilation album, Spotlight on Willie Nelson. A different mix appears on Nelson's 2009 album Naked Willie; this version is featured in the closing credits of the 2010 film The Crazies. In 2013, Willie Nelson's version was used as the theme to ITV sitcom The Job Lot.
The song has also been recorded by:
1969 Brenda Lee, on her album, Johnny One Time.
1969 Jack Greene, on his album, Statue of a Fool.
1970 Chet Atkins, on his album, Yestergroovin'.
1971 Liz Damon's Orient Express, on their eponymous album.
