MIEKO
HIROTA -- female singer who did "Sunny" originally. (Mieko is
first name. Hirota is last name. Her nickname is "Miko".) Mieko
Hirota was a very famous female pop singer in 60's to early 70's, like
Annette Funicello. She covered a lot of the Billboard hits, such as "Vacation" and "Don't

Japanese Sunny E.P.
Notice
how close this 45 cover from Holland looks compared to the Turkish release!
A variation on the disc from Turkey. This version of "Sunny" is
supposed to be more bluesy - we are investigating if it is a rare Sunny
we've not heard !!!
Notice how Bobby is holding the guitar in the right hand position on this sleeve,
and in the left hand position on the Turkish cover. Did the record label flip
the photo from positive to negative for this effect?
A
beautiful "Sunny" picture sleeve from around the world, this one
from Istanbul, Turkey!!! Notice how the face was utilized in triplicate for
the "Love Love Love" off-red picture sleeve.

Description
THIS IS A BOBBY HEBB PROMOTIONAL
45 RPM RECORD ON THE PHILLIPS LABEL, NUMBER 40551. TITLES ARE "DREAMY" AND
FLIP SIDE IS "YOU WANT TO CHANGE ME". THESE LABELS LOOK GREAT TO
ME AND SO DOES THE VINYL. IT IS VERY SHINY WITHOUT ANY SCRATCHES. THE DREAMY
SIDE HAS A COUPLE OF MARKS BUT I CAN NOT FEEL THEM.SO MAYBE THEY ARE CONSIDERED
SCUFF MARKS. I HAVE PLAYED THIS 45, ONLY ON THE DREAMY SIDE. IT PLAYS JUST
FINE. I DIDN'T PLAY THE OTHER SIDE AS I SEE NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD NOT PLAY.
I HAVE SEEN THIS ARTIST LISTED IN SOUL, AND IN THE TITLE "NORTHERN SOUL"?
I GUESS IF THAT IS WHAT EBAY EXPERTS CONSIDER HIM, I WILL FOLLOW SUIT. BUT
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, I AM NOT SURE, AS THIS DOES NOT SOUND LIKE ANY SOUL MUSIC,
I HAVE EVER HEARD.
Kenny
Gamble 45. Gamble wrote "Love Me", a sequel to Sunny, and produced "Dreamy" along
with the song co-written by his partner Leon Huff, "You Want To Change
Me"
The
rare gamble & huff 45, a true gem, it is amazing. kind of like elton
john's thom bell
sessions.
Grammy Award for Lou Rawls with a Bobby Hebb song
the
title track to this album was co-written by the late Sandy Baron and his
friend Bobby Hebb.
It was an out-take from a Broadway show that Hebb and Baron wrote. This particular
album cover is Canadian. Universal released a compilation of Lou Rawls on CD
with both titles
written by Hebb and Baron - "His Song Shall Be Sung" - a great tune
written as a tribute to Marvin Gaye sung by Lou.
Bobby
Hebb took Georgie Fame to the Apollo to see Jackie Wilson perform! Bobby
also pitched the song to Cher and all three artists hit with the tune in
the United Kingdom.
Bobby
re-recorded this in 1976 with I believe it was the producer of Frankie
Avalon "Venus" remake -
SUNNY was tracked again in Germany, March 2003 for release on Bobby's next
album on www.roofmusic.de
