Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sally Sunshine (Geoff Stevens, Les Reed)
Les Read is a British songwriter and arranger who co-wrote loads of hit songs in the 1960's. These included Tom Jones' 'Delilah' and 'It's Not Unusual'
In the early 1970's I was playing guitar in Bryan Chaker's New Frontier and we recorded 'Sally Sunshine' on our album that was released on Les Reed's Chapter one label.I've never heard anyone do the song since and had more or less forgotten its existance, so I was surprised to see it turning up on Mudcat!
                                                                                       

As a postscript, there was a bit of a flurry of singles being put out of 'football club songs'during the 1970's and Chapter One released one called 'You Play All The Way Leeds United' using the tune of 'Sally Sunshine'....
