This time The Nostalgic Rambler turns the clock back to the 60s when folk type songs were all the rage. Gale Garnett, with a New Zealand/Canadian background, came up with a one hit wonder called "We'll Sing In The Sunshine" which still sounds as nice today as it did then.
I always liked this song since the days of playing it on the radio years ago. Listen to Gale's version here or here. Dolly Parton did a more recent rendition. You can listen to that here. There are also some other excellent cover versions like this piano version I found on Youtube "for my friend Jeff" here...no it wasn't me asking for it, but it is cool honky tonk piano styling!
I don't know what happened to Miss Garnett through the years. Looks like she had several albums through the years but nothing ever rivaling her big hit. Strange how those one hit wonders are so enthralling, but just for that one song.
"We'll sing in the sunshine, we'll laugh everyday....we'll sing in the sunshine....then I'll be on my way..."
Every time you add another blog post, I am reminded of music from my childhood that my parents and/or grandparents listened to... thanks for the fond memories!
