This review is from: You Are My Sunshine (Version 1) (MP3 Download)

It is often said that this popular country song was written by the Southern governor of Louisiana and country music singer, Jimmy Davis, but it is not quite true. Jimmy Davis bought the right to the song from Paul Rice of The Rice Brothers Gang, which recorded an earlier version of the song in 1939. However, it was the 1940 recording of the song by Jimmy Davis that popularized it, so much so that it was declared a Louisiana state song in 1977. The singer of this track, Elizabeth Mitchell, is a recording artist of the Smithsonian Folkways Recording, a nonprofit record label of the Smithsonian Institution, and has been performing children's music since 1998. She frequently performs and records music with her husband Daniel Littleton and her 9-year old daughter Storey Littleton, as well as other musicians. Her latest release is the album "Sunny Day" on October 5th, 2010. Her music is sunshine to my ears.
