Sunny (Bob Hebb)

Famous pop standard by Bobby Hebb (and not Boney M) dating from 1963, Sunny is a simple structure (16 bars) on a basic harmonic progression in A minor (I / III / VI / II / V) with a few accidents: C7 instead of Cmaj7 bar 2, Bb7 substitution of E7 bar 12.

The left hand pattern sets the harmony (the two upper notes) with a « dotted quarter / eighth note » rock groove and the right hand is free to play the melody and solos.
Sunny is the ideal song for Jam sessions: simple, effective and the whole world has it in its ear.
