OTTO ROSENBERG -
SUNNY
This is a completely unpolished live recording. No over dubs or other bric-a-brac.
I've posted the song a few weeks ago already but there were some technical faults I had to improve. So I deleted it and here is the repost.
A musician who's well known to me offered me this track Otto Rosenberg once recorded. Unfortunately, Otto passed away several years ago. I never met him in life but I am totally fascinated by his skills on the acoustic guitar. The Django Reinhardt feel in his playing is unmistakable. With this post I want to appreciate his extraordinary work.
'SUNNY' is a classic. The song got written in 1958, my year of birth, by Bobby Hebb. Many famous artists covered it, as there are Georgie Fame ('66), Sony & Cher ('66), Manfred Mann ('66), Frank Sinatra & Duke Ellington ('68), Stevie Wonder ('68), James Brown ('69), Ella Fitzgerald ('71) and also Boney M ('76), just to mention a few. There are many more but Otto's version is the only one I know which is played completely instrumental.
RIP Otto - wherever you are right now.
