"Sunshine on My Shoulders" Single by John Denver from the album Poems, Prayers & Promises Released December 1973 Format vinyl record Genre Soft rock Length 3:18 (single version) 5:10 (album version) Label RCA Writer(s) John Denver, Dick Kniss, Mike Taylor Producer Milt Okun John Denver singles chronology "Rocky Mountain High" (1973) "Sunshine On My Shoulders" (1973) "Annie's Song" (1974) "Sunshine on My Shoulders" is the title of a song recorded and co-written by American singer/songwriter John Denver. It was released as a single in 1973 and went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. in early 1974. A television movie titled "Sunshine", shown on NBC in 1973, used the song as a theme. The movie starred Cliff DeYoung and Cristina Raines. It told the story of a young mother in love and dying. High ratings prompted a TV series (dubbed just Sunshine) which ran for three months during the summer of 1974. The short-lived series began where the movie left off with the young widowed father (Cliff DeYoung) raising his stepdaughter (Elizabeth Cheshire). Contents 1 Song history 2 In popular culture 3 Chart performance 4 See also 5 References Song history Denver described how he wrote "Sunshine on My Shoulders": "I wrote the song in Minnesota at the time I call 'late winter, early spring'. It was a dreary day, gray and slushy. The snow was melting and it was too cold to go outside and have fun, but God, you're ready for spring. You want to get outdoors again and you're waiting for that sun to shine, and you remember how sometimes just the sun itself can make you feel good. And in that very melancholy frame of mind I wrote "Sunshine On My Shoulders." It was originally the B-side of one of his earlier songs, "I'd Rather Be a Cowboy." As the Vietnam War came to an end, the song took on a new significance and began to receive airplay on adult contemporary radio stations. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 90 on January 26, 1974 and moved into the number one spot nine weeks later, remaining at #1 for one week. The song also topped the adult contemporary chart for two weeks in 1974 [1]. In popular culture In a 1994 episode of The Simpsons, a hippie is seen singing the song during a heat wave, and is subsequently punched in the face.[2] The song is also featured in a 2005 episode of the CBS drama Cold Case, entitled "The Woods".
