What can be said about the sun? Well, for one thing, it's hot. Really hot. As Tom Glazer once sang, "The sun is a mass of incandescent gas/A gigantic nuclear furnace/Where hydrogen is built into helium/At a temperature of millions of degrees." Nicely put, especially coming from the guy who wrote "On Top Of Spaghetti".
But what else do we know? For one thing, without the sun, we, along with all other life on earth, wouldn't survive. And, as the old saying goes, there's nothing new under it...except, perhaps, for this list! There are many great tunes about sunshine, sunlight and general sunny weather. It's difficult to leave some of my own personal favorites out.
As always the songs are organized by how well each has done on the various charts. Click on each song title to learn more. I'll say it again: If you don't see your favorite sun song, be sure to leave a comment. Who knows, your submission could be the next entry!
Let's start at the bottom (but certainly not least) and work our way up to the #1 spot.
10. The Warmth Of The Sun (1964)
A classic ballad from the Beach Boys. It was released as the B-side of "Dance, Dance, Dance", which charted at #8 (US) and #24 (UK). It was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love shortly after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. What more can be said?
What good is the dawn that grows into day,
The sunset at night, or living this way
For I have the warmth of the sun
Within me at night
9. Walking On Sunshine (1985)
This was the biggest hit for Katrina and the Waves. It was originally written by Kimberley Rew as a ballad. Good thing it didn't stay that way! It's like a long-lost Motown record. It reached #9 (US) and #8 (UK). Hey, since this was released in 1985, can we consider "Walking On Sunshine" an oldie?
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa-oh
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa-oh
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa-oh
And don't it feel good
8. California Sun (1964)
This was originally recorded by Joe Jones, who had a hit with "You Talk Too Much". (Hey, we should do a list of the Top Ten Talking Songs...) The most successful recording was by the Illinois-based Rivieras. Their version reached #5 in the US.
Well, I'm goin' out west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long
Where they walk and I'll walk, they twist and I'll twist
They shimmy and I'll shimmy, they fly and I'll fly
Well, they're out there a-havin' fun
In that warm California sun
7. Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying (1964)
The second-most successful group from Liverpool was Gerry (Marsden) and the Pacemakers. It was produced and arranged by Beatles producer George Martin, and it shows. It reached #4 in the US and #6 in the UK. It's definitely one of the highest-of-caliber 1960s ballads. It was even later covered by Paul McCartney.
Don't let the sun catch you crying
The night's the time for all your tears
Your heart may be broken tonight
But tomorrow in the morning light
Don't let the sun catch you crying
6. Ain't No Sunshine (1971)
Bill Withers' first hit. Before this, he had been working in a factory making airplane parts. He was introduced to Booker T. Jones, who had produced records for Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett. The rest is history. "I know, I know, I know, I know, I know..." It reached #3 in the US, #2 on the US Adult Contemporary chart, and was a top 40 hit in the UK.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Any time she goes away
5. Sunny (1966)
In 1999 BMI ranked this Bobby Hebb tune at #25 on their list of the Top 100 Songs Of The Century in terms of radio play. And rightly so: I've often played this song over and over again. It reached #2 (US), #3 (US R&B) and #12 (UK). Like "The Warmth Of The Sun", this is said to have been inspired in part by the death of JFK.
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are gone and the bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny, one so true, I love you
4.Waterloo Sunset (1967)
Many assume the Kinks were a hard rock group. This #2 UK hit, written and sung by Ray Davies, is proof they primarily wrote pretty pop. A 2004 London FM radio poll called it the Greatest Song About London, Time Out magazine named it the "Anthem of London", and it ranked at #42 Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy make me feel dizzy
Taxi lights shine so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
3. Sunshine On My Shoulders (1971)
One of John Denver's signature songs. Though this was originally released in 1971, it was released as a single in December 1973 after being used as the theme of the NBC TV movie Sunshine. It became a big hit in 1974, reaching #1 in the US. In my opinion, this is one of the prettiest sun-themed songs on this list.
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
2. You Are The Sunshine Of My Life (1972)
A great ballad. I'm sure we can each think of someone, somewhere, who is the sunshine in our life. And to think that Stevie Wonder wrote, sang and self-produced this when he was only 22 years old. Rolling Stone ranked the song #281 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It reached #1 in the US and #7 in the UK.
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
And, hey, kids, what time is it? Time to reveal the numero uno (that means number one, of course) song on our list. Yes, you may be surprised that this is the one that gets a place in the sun here. The top song is...!
1. Seasons In The Sun (1974)
Terry Jacks may be considered a one-hit-wonder, but that's not the whole story. He and his wife Susan Pesklevits had success as the Poppy Family, whose hit, "Which Way You Goin' Billy?" was sung by Susan and written by Jacks. "Seasons In The Sun" was a #1 hit for three weeks in the US, and also topped the charts in the UK and Canada. It sold over 14 million copies worldwide. It later became a #1 hit for the UK group Westlife in 1999.
We had joy, we had fun,
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
Do you agree with this list? Have any suggestions for honorable mentions? I can think of a few myself, but I want you to decide.

By: Billy Joel (born William Martin Joel May 9, 1949 in the Levittown section of Hicksville, New York).
Billy Joel is an American musician and pianist, singer-songwriter and classical composer. According to the RIAA, he is the sixth best-selling recording artist of all time and the third best-selling solo artist of all time in the United States.
Joel left high school without a diploma to begin a career in music. "I told them, '. . . If I'm not going to Columbia University, I'm going to Columbia Records and you don't need a high school diploma over there'." Ironically, Columbia Records later signed him. In 1992, he submitted essays to the school board and was awarded his diploma at Hicksville High's annual graduation ceremony 25 years after he had left.
"Honesty" was released in 1979 as the third single from the album 52nd Street
.
Producer Phil Ramone said, for the recording of "Honesty", it "sounded better after everyone had eaten. The food slowed their metabolism and curbed their aggression, which is exactly what the tempo of certain songs needed."
It was nominated in 1980 for the Grammy Award for Song of the Year, but lost to "What A Fool Believes" (the Doobie Brothers). However, 52nd Street won the Grammy for Album of the Year.
In 2003, the album was ranked #352 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Chart position: #24 (US), #9 (US Adult Contemporary).
It was the album's third consecutive top 40 hit, after "My Life" and "Big Shot".
Written by: Billy Joel.
Joel also wrote such songs as "Piano Man", "Just The Way You Are", "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)", "She's Always a Woman", "My Life", "Big Shot", "It's Still Rock And Roll To Me", "Don't Ask Me Why", "She's Got A Way", "Tell Her About It", "Uptown Girl", "The Longest Time", "Leave A Tender Moment Alone", "We Didn't Start The Fire", "I Go To Extremes" and "The River Of Dreams".
The original title was "Home Again", with the chorus beginning: "Home again, get me out of here..." According to Joel: "We were in Europe or on the road for a long time and I just wanted to go home again."
Joel also said: "My music and lyrics aren't written at the same time. I always write the music first. A lot of times I write bail-out lyrics, just to carry along a melody while I work on the real lyrics . . . "
"Though the two have to fit together, for the language is really secondary . . . It may take me a year to figure why I wrote some of the songs I did, why I said some of the things I said and what I really meant."

That'll Be The Day (1957) (1958)

By: Buddy Holly (and the Crickets.)
Buddy Holly was born Charles Hardin Holley September 7, 1936, in Lubbock, Texas, and died at the age of 22 in a plane crash February 3, 1959, in Clear Lake, Iowa.
Buddy Holly was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
In 2004 Rolling Stone magazine ranked him at #13 on their list of the Greatest Rock And Roll Artists Of All Time.
On February 8, 1956, Holly signed a recording contract with Decca Records that mistakenly dropped the "e" from his last name (Holley). When "That'll Be The Day" was first recorded July 22, 1956 in Nashville, Tennessee, Decca producer Owen Bradley thought it was of poor quality. He insisted that Holly sing it above his normal range while playing it very slow.
When Holly and The Crickets (rhythm guitarist Niki Sullivan, bassist Larry Welborn and drummer Jerry Allison) re-recorded it February 25, 1957, in producer Norman Petty's Clovis, New Mexico, studios, a few changes were made: the song's key was lowered from D to A (to better suit Holly's guitar intro and solo, and vocal range), and backing vocals were added by Sullivan, June Clark, and Gary and Ramona Tollett.
When the new version of "That'll Be The Day" (credited to the Crickets and released on Brunswick Records) became a hit, Decca attempted to capitalize on it by releasing the earlier version.
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked "That'll Be The Day" at #39 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Don McLean's 1972 song "American Pie", about the history of rock and roll music, talks about "the day the music died," referring to the plane crash that killed Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. McLean based the phrase "This'll be the day that I die" on Holly's lyric, "That'll be the day when I die".
Chart position: #1 (US), #1 (UK).
It was preceded at #1 in the US by "Diana" (Paul Anka) and succeeded by "Mary's Boy Child" (Harry Belafonte).
Written by: Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison, and producer Norman Petty.
Though Petty was not involved in writing the song, he was given a composing credit. Holly and Allison went to see the John Ford-directed Western film The Searchers
, starring John Wayne, in June of 1956. In the film, Wayne frequently said, "That'll be the day!" The phrase stuck with Holly. Soon after, he and Allison wrote the song, marking the first time they wrote together.
Also by: The Quarrymen, who recorded it in 1958 at Percy Phillips' Kensington Custom Service, an electrical goods shop in Liverpool, England. It was their first recording, costing them about $2. They later became better known as the Beatles.
Paul McCartney owns the only known original copy, which ranked at #2 on a list of the 25 Most Valuable Recordings of All Time. It was finally released on the collection Anthology 1
in 1995.
Interestingly, Paul McCartney has owned the publishing rights to the Buddy Holly song catalogue since 1979, after purchasing them from Norman Petty.

River Deep, Mountain High (1966) (1996)

Download MP3s from Amazon.com:
By: Ike And Tina Turner.
Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939 in Nutbush, Tennessee) is often called "The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll". She has sold more concert tickets than any other solo performer in history.
"River Deep, Mountain High" was one of the first songs that Ike And Tina Turner did for Phil Spector's Philles Records.
Spector was aware of Ike Turner's controlling attitude in the studio, so their contract stipulated that the song would be credited to "Ike And Tina Turner", on one condition: Ike was not allowed in the studio. Only Tina Turner would be featured on record.
It was agreed to, and Spector began recording the LP, which cost $22,000, with 2 dozen session musicians and background vocalists.
When the single and album were finally released, the public did not know what to make of it. "River Deep, Mountain High" was considered "too black for white radio, but too white for black radio". The single stalled at #88 on the pop charts, causing Spector to shut the label down.
George Harrison said that it was "a perfect record from start to finish".
In 2004, Rolling Stone
magazine ranked it at #33 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Chart position: #88 (US), #3 (UK).
Written by: Jeff Barry (born Joel Adelberg April 3, 1938, in Brooklyn, New York,) Ellie Greenwich (born Eleanor Louise Greenwich October 23, 1940 in Brooklyn, New York) and Phil Spector.
The husband-and-wife team of Barry and Greenwich were one of the most successful songwriting duos of the 1960s, writing/co-writing such songs as "Then He Kissed Me", "Da Doo Ron Ron", "Baby I Love You", "Be My Baby", "Chapel Of Love", "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", "Hanky Panky", "I Can Hear Music", "Leader of the Pack", "Maybe I Know", "Montego Bay" and more.
Barry, Greenwich and Spector each had ideas for songs, which they combined to form "River Deep, Mountain High". It was created specifically for Tina Turner to sing.
Also by: Céline Dion. She performed a live version on the Late Show with David Letterman in 1994. In 1995, Phil Spector agreed to produce a version for her, but the sessions were a disaster, and nothing from those sessions have been released. Dion eventually recorded it for her extremely successful 1996 album Falling Into You
