Bobby Hebb, the singer-songwriter who composed the 1966 pop music classic "Sunny," passed away from lung cancer on Tuesday at Centennial Medical Center in Nashville at age 72.
Mr. Hebb wrote the song in response to the slaying of his brother outside a Nashville nightclub---and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy a number of days before that.
At the height of the popularity of "Sunny," Bobby toured with the Beatles.
