You Are My Sunshine

This was written by Jimmie Davis and his guitar player Charles Mitchell, who first recorded it in 1940, a year after both the Pine Ridge Boys and the Rice Brothers Gang introduced it (some historians claim Paul Rice actually wrote the tune and sold it to Davis). Davis was a prolific songwriter who became Governor of Louisiana a few years after.

Bing Crosby was the first to have a hit with this song. His version went to #20 in the US in 1941.

This was sung on the "It Was a GOOD Life" episode of The Twilight Zone by a neighbor of a supernatural little boy - before the boy changes the neighbor into a jack-in-the-box and buries him in a cornfield.
