I'm on a limited lifespan, and spent time today with my almost 2 year old granddaughter. This song came to mind when I received a text from my daughter in law saying the granddaughter kept on calling my name after I left. She is a ray of sunshine in an otherwise grey existence.
I would suggest to any expecting dad, learn this song. You don’t have to be able to sing, but nine months of practice, and singing it quietly a cappella at bed time will bond you and your daughter, and give her a wonderful memory for life. Alternatively, just quietly sing it at your Daddy Daughter dance at her wedding. She won’t care if you don’t hit all the notes, it will be like diamonds to her.
I remember a story my Grandmothers loves telling me when ever I visit and its that this song played the day my aunty (her first born) was born, my grandmother always smiles whenever she hears it, softly tapping along and singing without a care which is nice to see.
Yes, Mary, it is, but the song was really dedicated to his first g/f. However the part that said "...it's coming into our world may have been something to do with the birth of his unborn daughter. Only he knows the reason. Mum loved this song when my little sister was born. We had a LP record titled 20 Explosive Hits and the song was in it, including others, e.g. Shilo. www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwiaw8ia5e7xAhXOBHIKHYegDM8YABAHGgJzZg&ae=2&sig=AOD64_3RnN5aTVynspgEAOoSu1PpEB3zPw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjE4sGa5e7xAhXZyjgGHUznDLQQwg96BAgBECc&adurl=
ter far OMG ! We used to go and see Glen Shorrock when he was in the Twilites.. He was also lead singer of the Little River Band then replaced by John Farnham. Take care and stay cool.. 😘😎
My older sister had this song as her “Daddy and Daughter” dance at her wedding. It was the first time I’d seen my father cry in quite a while, and it was such a moving moment!!!
This was also my Dad and Daughter dance at her wedding. Complete surprise to me. I played the song to her a few years ago and said “This is the song that makes me think of you.” Was a surprise for me when it started playing as we walked onto the floor. Surprised her when her very reserved dad started singing it in her ear. The only song I can sing and actually hit the notes.
I just heard this in June 2024 in New York long island, as the warm summer begins. Thinking of Australia and having heard the song at the end of the film Top of the Lake/China Girl with Elisabeth Moss, Nicole Kidman and Jane Campion as director. Although I'm not a father, the film with many mother-daughter intricate story lines and values, moved me including the culmination of this film with this song Lil Ray of Sunshine. Beautiful and moving comments thank you all. NN
I am closely related to Brian Cadd, as my grandmother had the name Cadd before marriage- but I wont spoil all my family history. My Grandma never had a good connection with her family, so I never speak of Brian to her, though I hold his music close to my heart and am very proud to share blood as a 14yo girl. If only I discovered him when I was younger. x
I've never had a Daddy..he died when I was 6. 41 years ild and it still tears me to pieces. But At least MY little Ray of Sunshine has one. AGood one! ..that's what matters now
The day I was born my father rang the local radio station to play this song (he also did the same for my sisters). But to this day, whenever I am sad or in need of comfort, this is what I listen to 💖💖💖
My older sister’s birth song. “A little ray of sunshine, has come into the world. A little ray of sunshine, in the shape of a girl.” Love you Mum and Dad, forever and always! ❤️ Cait, you are a blessing to this world, and I love you beyond words. Even though we haven’t seen each other for such a long time, I couldn’t be more proud of you as your brother. Unconditional love never dies. ❤️
I played little ray of sunshine to my daughter since she was borne.. She is 5 now, but, can handle mummy's moves, knows the words and the best beat do doo doo, do doo do.. I'm 43 really appreciate this one impaticular. 🍀🌈
Your comment spun me out as 18 years ago I was driving home listening to this song on the radio, I had just left the hospital where my partner had just given birth to our first daughter.
This song played on the radio in the car when I took my babypie home. That was 33 years ago today and it still reminds me of that time like it was yesterday. Still cry every single time I hear it. Brilliant times.
I love this song so much. My grandfather sent it to everybody when I was born. He died the year after. I miss him so much I can’t help but begin to cry as soon as the song starts.
This song was popular in the 1960s -the time of the Vietnam War. It was played often on the Oz Army radio. I had a beautiful golden haired two-year old back in Singapore . I thought of her every time it was played - and still do!
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of the first time I held my daughter in the NICU at he Royal Women's Hospital in 88 they had a radio on in the ward on 3MP as I was holding her this song came on
Called up 4BC, a music station in Brisbane on the night of 19th of November, 1989 after the birth of my first, my only daughter, Yasmin. Sadly, 27 years later she was mowed down by a third world driver and killed. This song still brings tears to this old man's eyes.
My daughter turns twenty tomorrow. She was ten weeks early, and we were totally unprepared for just how fragile she was. While she was being settled in to the NICU, and before her mum came out of the anaesthetic, I ducked out to the (conveniently close) pub. The barman must have seen rattled, first time dads on a regular basis, cos I didn't get around to ordering a beer, one was put in front of me, and he knew exactly what to say. He played this on the jukebox, and it calmed me right down
There seems to be two traditions in my family. The men go off away to provide for their little darlings, and this song gets sung. My Pa was on the rigs and sang this of my mother. My father deployed and sang this of my sister. I'm off soon too, but while I'm still here I'll sing again to my little ray of sunshine. Even when she tells me to stop copying a rolls her eyes.
my dad came up to me and asked “can i have this dance” and this song was on and i realised how connected i am to it and my dad and i just started balling out with tears ahh
Had this song for my daughters 21st, it is exactly how it is... born with blonde hair, name was going to be similar to mine... and she was my first born, 35yrs ago.

I've always liked this song. Even before I had my little princess I liked this song. Ever since my little angel was born, I always think of her smiling and smile to it. "she can make you feel good, she can make you feel that it's all worth while only by her smile" indeed she can.....
My baby is my little ray of sunshine both my girls Classic - wonderful song Love it Love it Love it This song is fifty years old, so maybe the little ray of sunshine is too!
Her fathers says she has to have a name, Not the same as her mom's, but a name just the same, A little ray of sunshine has come into the world, A little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl We'll show her the dress that she'll wear With the gold flowing hair that nature provided My little ray of sunshine has come into the world, My little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl A little ray of sunhine I want to know if you think she looks good in the pink, Grandma has bought her Our own little daughter She can make you feel good, She can make you feel that it's all worthwhile, Only by her smile Only by her smile Have you noticed she's just like her father, And I think that I'd rather Her hair was much darker, My little ray of sunshine has come into the world, My little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl.

Sheez Jodie, you have prematurely killed off Brian Cadd. He's alive and well and still playing live frequently. Unless we're dealing with a Weekend at Bernies style situation which is less than ideal.

While I wasn't born with blonde hair, (my hair "is much darker", sorry), I was told that this song is the song my Dad always associated with me as a bub and growing up. It's the song that I associate with him when it comes to our father/daughter relationship.

GEE I MISS THESE GUYS
My 70yo dad shared this with me today. Apparently this played on the radio the day I was born. I'll cherish this forever. ❤️
YOUR DAD HAS GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC
It played when my first daughter was born in 1986 :)
I'm on a limited lifespan, and spent time today with my almost 2 year old granddaughter. This song came to mind when I received a text from my daughter in law saying the granddaughter kept on calling my name after I left. She is a ray of sunshine in an otherwise grey existence.
Sorry man. You're a good granddad
hope your OK mate
Cherished moments, very lucky
❤
Thanks a whole heap Radman. My eyes are leaking now. I hope you're happy! 😉 Seriously though, keep on keepin' on.

I’m proud this song is from Australia, when I first heard it I thought it was Stephen stills singing, but it’s our very own Glenn Shorrock
OMG Sean. I agree what a bloody great song from true blue Aussies..As you have stated.. So proud of these guys
Written by Brian Cadd I think? But yes Glenn sings it beautifully. He has an incredible voice
First for everything.. I'm 64 this year. this is first time I've ever heard this song.. welcome 2020.
We have our first baby on the way, and my father recommend this track to me!
@@samdavies4806 perfect song for a beautiful baby girl
Wow amazing, this is such a beautiful baby song

My baby is my little ray of sunshine, she’s 10 now and we both cry every time we listen to it, happy tears, dad and daughter ❤️
Beautiful. ❤️
All the best to you both.
I hear you Brother, my baby girl is nearly 34 and having her 2nd child. I still tear up every time I hear this song on the radio.
OOF
@@johnnyc2546 I’m 35 had my daughter 10 days ago and my dad just sent me this ☺️ nothing like daddy daughter love
@@5aarah1 Congratulations!! It is amazing how quickly 'Our Baby Girls' grow up❤💐
My little sunshine was 40 last month, she is so far away and I miss her so,so so much, All my blessings to her .

We have to remember this especially now.
I loved this song. Where have the years gone... Look at that young Brian Cadd. Unbelievable!
This is great Aussie talent singing one hell of a beautiful song
I've always loved this song but having my own "little ray of sunshine" makes this song exactly one trillion times better.
I've never had a Daddy..he died when I was 6. 41 years ild and it still tears me to pieces. But At least MY little Ray of Sunshine has one. AGood one! ..that's what matters now
I'm 51 years old and I just realized Glenn Shorrock song this. You never stop learning.
Damn I'm 60 and I just found out he did too!
My Dad said he listened to this repeatedly when I was born, love you Dad xx
The day I was born my father rang the local radio station to play this song (he also did the same for my sisters). But to this day, whenever I am sad or in need of comfort, this is what I listen to 💖💖💖
My dad did the same for me 🥰 honestly makes me emotional every time i hear it.. so special.

Apparently this song plays on the car radio every time a father drives home after the birth of his daughter.
It did for me 28years ago and has been her song ever since
Your comment spun me out as 18 years ago I was driving home listening to this song on the radio, I had just left the hospital where my partner had just given birth to our first daughter.
Its our eldest daughter's signature song.
2nd daughter got Stevie's 'Isn't she lovely' :)
@@petergaltry4529 This is better I think

Thank you, BRIAN and AXIOM.
IT doesn't matter what you wear, just as long as you have your hair; IT reminds me of Sunshine, A Little Ray of Sunshine!!!

Masterpiece.
Her fathers says she has to have a name,
Not the same as her mom's, but a name just the same,
A little ray of sunshine has come into the world,
A little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl
We'll show her the dress that she'll wear
With the gold flowing hair that nature provided
My little ray of sunshine has come into the world,
My little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl
A little ray of sunhine
I want to know if you think she looks good in the pink,
Grandma has bought her
Our own little daughter
She can make you feel good,
She can make you feel that it's all worthwhile,
Only by her smile
Only by her smile
Have you noticed she's just like her father,
And I think that I'd rather
Her hair was much darker,
My little ray of sunshine has come into the world,
My little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl.
She can make you feel good,
She can make you feel that it's all worthwhile,
Only by her smile
Only by her smile
Only by her smile
Oh my little ray of sunshine,
My little ray of sunshine,
Little ray of sunshine,
Little ray, little ray, little ray,
Sweet little darlin',
My little ray of sunshine...
Thank goodness for Brian Cadd. Rest in Peace
