“On The Sunny Side of the Street”

“On The Sunny Side of The Street” was a song written by Jimmy McHugh with lyrics by Dorothy Fields.  It was first introduced in Lew Leslie’s musical International Revue with Harry Richman and Gertrude Lawrence.

The song became a jazz standard and was performed by jazz greats such as Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Errol Garner, and Benny Goodman.

Here is a recording of “On the Sunny Side of The Street” performed by Eddie South (violin), David Martin (piano), Isidore Langlois (guitar), Paul Cordonnier, and Tommy Benford on the drums.  The quintet also does the vocals  in this recording.  I hope you enjoy it!
