No offense, great version of the song, but if you’re going to post a tribute, why not use Hebb’s own music?
My word, just goes to show you that a great song, with a great melody can be done in any style. I hadn’t heard this version of “Sunny”, but it is awesome. The backphrasing on the ballad-style intro is totally controlled and when that latin groove kicks in… forget about it!
Don’t forget James himself and alone, between clouds and sun !
