I'm listening to Bob Atcher and Bonnie Blue Eyes (Loeta Applegate) doing "You Are My Sunshine". Atcher was successful from 1939 through 1942. Atcher went into banking in 1946 and was very successful. Bonnie recorded many records with Bob during the pre-war years. They were married in 1935. As much country (hillbilly) music my father played in the 50's I never heard of them until I was a much older adult.

5/5

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried"
