| Description: |
Hebb wrote the song in the 48 hours following a double tragedy on November 22, 1963, the day U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and Hebb's older brother Harold was stabbed to death outside a Nashville nightclub. Hebb was devastated by both events and many critics say that those events & critically the loss of his older brother inspired the lyrics & tune. According to Hebb, he merely wrote the song as an expression of a preference for a "sunny" disposition over a "lousy" disposition following the murder of his brother. He recorded the song in 1966 which topped at #2 that year. |

Great rendition of this classic Brad, enjoyed my listen (listening as I type). Thank you for including the caption as well - they say every single tells a story and I had no idea that such a feel good song was borne out of such tragedy. |
Reply: Thanks so much for tuning in my friend. Your right, I would have never guessed the background to this song either. Surprise what you can find on line these day...Brad |
