You are my sunshine.
Hayat var
When the sky is gray, you make me happy.
Honey, you'll never know
How much I love you
Please don't take it.
My sunshine disappeared.
You are my sunshine.
Hayat var
When the sky is gloomy, only you make me happy.
Honey, you'll never know
How much I love you
Please don't take it away.
Take away my sunshine
Honey, I slept in bed that night.
I dreamed that I held you in my arms
When I woke up, honey, I was wrong.
So I bowed my head and cried.
You are my sunshine.
Hayat var
When the sky is gray, you make me happy.
Honey, you'll never know
How much I love you
Please don't take away my sunshine.
That night.
When I'm sleepy, dear
I dreamed of holding you in my arms.
But when I woke up, honey, I realized it was not true.
So I looked down, tears streaming down my face.
You are my sunshine.
Hayat var
When the sky is gloomy, only you make me happy.
Honey, you'll never know
How much I love you
Please don't take away my sunshine.
You are my sunshine.
Hayat var
When the sky is gray, you make me happy.
Honey, you'll never know
How much I love you
Please don't take away my sunshine.
Please don't take away my sunshine.
Please don't take away my sunshine.
You are my sunshine.
Hayat var
When the sky is gloomy, only you make me happy.
Honey, you'll never know
How much I love you
Please don't take away my sunshine.
Please don't take away my sunshine.
Please don't take away my sunshine.

To celebrate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 29th birthday, Manchester United released a new song "Sing Up For The Champions", which was also the team song of Manchester United at that time.
Introduction to the original singer:
As an early country and gospel music singer, Jimmie Davis is also a senior official in politics. Interestingly, his greatest achievement in music cover pictures appeared at the peak of his two political careers.
1September, 899 1 1 (or 1902), Jimmie Davis was born in Beach Springs, Los Angeles, and his original name was James Houston Davis. Although Jimmie Davis was born in a poor tenant farmer's family, he got a master's degree with his own efforts and cleverness, and then got a doctorate from Louisiana State University, and began to teach history in a small college. 1928 signed a contract with Victor to start recording music. His early music basically inherited the style of James Rodgers, the famous "father of country music". In the next five years, he recorded a lot of music, but perhaps because of the Great Depression, the sales of these songs have been poor. Until 1934, he turned to Deka and released his first hit single "Nobody's Baby But Me" and another single by Floyd Tillman "It makes no difference now". 1February 4, 940 recorded the famous "You are my sunshine", which can be said to be the most classic work of Jimmy Davis. Its simple and beautiful melody and simple accompaniment can be said to be the representative of this kind of early country music. This song sold more than 1 10,000 in the United States within one month after its release. After it was released in Britain, King George VI said that this song was his favorite. Today, as a classic song, it is still sung by countless people, including Mickey Miller, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, tina turner and Mavis Fan. And, of course, Manchester United fans ... Meanwhile Jimmy. On 1942, he was elected as the director of the Public Service Bureau of Louisiana Criminal Court and Police Department. During this period, he also participated in several films, mostly western films. 1944, he was elected governor of Louisiana. During the period, he continued to compose music, and many singles ranked in the top five at that time, including "Is it too late now", "There is a chill on the mountain tonight" and "There is a new moon on the shoulder".
From 65438 to 0948, Jimmie returned to full-time music creation and recording, and his music style began to turn to gospel music, such as SupperTime. From 65438 to 0960, he returned to politics, and his reputation and gentle style played a great role in quelling the turmoil in the south at that time. 1962 recorded the famous single Where Does the Old Red River Flow? 1964 began to return to gospel music, and recorded a lot of songs in the following ten years. 1975, Deka terminated his contract, but Jimmy Davis insisted on playing and composing music, and he was still recording music until the 1990s.
Jimmy Davis's musical career almost ran through the whole 20th century. As a typical representative of early American country music and gospel music, he made great contributions in this respect. 197 1 was elected to the country music hall of fame. After a century of glory, Jimmy Davis passed away at the age of 1 1 on October 5th, 2000.
Chivalrous swordsman said: In fact, Jimmy's music style has been greatly influenced by his predecessor, James Rodgers, the father of the country. He inherited James Rodgers's style in the choice of tunes, accompaniment and even the creation of lyrics (such as his preference for puns), which was reflected by comparing the styles of You Are My Sunshine sung by different people. At the same time, this style also had a great influence on the trend of country music after him, so Jimmy Davis' contribution to the inheritance and development of country music is absolutely outstanding, just like his masterpiece You are My Sunshine, and his contribution is still praised by people today.
Brief introduction of cover singer:
Sarah Ghazarek is a brilliant star in the American music criticism media after norah jones. Her music is as beautiful as the sky blue-light and free, but her 23-year-old sweet voice is surprisingly mature. Downbeat once voted her as the most outstanding university jazz female singer of the year, and won the top 10 of the BILLBOARD jazz list.
Recorded by 15 Grammy Award winner Al Schmitt, produced by bassist master john clayton, 1 1 ingenious arrangement of classic songs, Sarah's singing and her * * * concert with pianist, bassist and drummer will bring familiar and fresh enjoyment to the audience. Piano player Josh Nelson's compositions "Great" and "Yours" are hard not to be melted by the elegant and comfortable atmosphere in her appropriately soft voice; However, cole potter's work Whenever We Say Goodbye is familiar to jazz fans. Under her relaxed reinterpretation, the light-rhythm melody can easily fascinate people with this classic new look again; The extreme lyricism of "too young to be stable" naturally creates a more touching atmosphere. "You can get by" was jointly created by Sarah and Erik Kertes, who plays bass. It has always been gentle but turned into Broadway-style splendor without trace. Such a surprise is definitely not enough; Next, under the gentle opening of piano and bass, Sarah skillfully strung John Lennon/paul mccartney's Blackbird and Mort Dixon/Ray Henderson's Goodbye Blackbird into a song with singing skills, which once again performed full of surprises and new flavors; As for "You are My Sunshine", which is also a jazz hit, Sarah retains the light style of the original song and naturally exudes the charm of humming in sync with the attractive voice. There is also the vitality of My Shining Moment, Cheek to Cheek, the dullness of Circle Games, or the bass performance of All or Nothing, which will definitely make you unable to take your attention away from this rookie's singing skills.
