Bobby Hebb - Love Love Love (Rerecorded)

- This is another performance filmed for my now legendary documentary, "The Strange World Of Northern Soul". "Love Love Love" was massive at Blackpool Mecca in the early days, but my favourite is "You Want To Change Me". Bobby Hebb is an African American singer and songwriter, best known for his 1966 recording of "Sunny". Hebb's parents, William and Ovalla Hebb, were both blind musicians. Hebb and his older brother Harold performed as a song-and-dance team in Nashville, beginning when Bobby was three and Harold was nine. Hebb performed on a TV show hosted by country music record producer Owen Bradley, which earned him a place with Grand Ole Opry star Roy Acuff. Hebb played spoons and other instruments in Acuff's band. Harold later became a member of Johnny Bragg and the Marigolds. Bobby Hebb sang backup on Bo Diddley's "Diddley Daddy". Hebb played "West-coast-style" trumpet in a US Navy jazz band, and replaced Mickey Baker in Mickey and Sylvia. On 23 November 1963, the day after John F. Kennedy's assassination, Harold Hebb was killed in a knife fight outside a Nashville nightclub. Hebb was devastated by both events and sought comfort in songwriting. The song he wrote was the optimistic "Sunny": "All my intentions were just to think of happier times -- basically looking for a brighter day -- because times were at a low tide. After I wrote it, I thought "Sunny" just might be a different approach to what Johnny Bragg was talking about in "Just Walkin' in the Rain". "Sunny" was recorded in New York City, which resulted in a tour with The Beatles for Hebb. It is one of the most covered popular songs, with hundreds of versions released. BMI rates "Sunny" number 25 in its "Top 100 songs of the century" "Sunny" has been recorded by, among others, Boney M, Cher, Georgie Fame, Johnny Rivers, Frank Sinatra with Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, the Electric Flag, The Four Seasons, the Four Tops, Wilson Pickett, Les McCann, Dusty Springfield, and The Alex Trio featuring David Wise. One cover, a disco version called "Sunny '76" was a hit for Hebb in that year. Although he is considered a one-hit wonder, Hebb also had hits with his "A Satisfied Mind" in 1966 and "Love Me" in 1967, and has written many other songs. After thirty five years Bobby Hebb recorded a new album. That's All I Wanna Know was the first commercial release by Hebb since James Flemming Rasmussen produced Love Games for Epic Records in 1970. It was released in Europe in late 2005 by Tuition, a new pop indie label. Bobby Hebb was the third African-American to ever perform at the Grand Ole Opry.

That is exactly what Northern Soul is all about.
For sure. From jazz musicians to soul groups, it seems that my favorites typically come from or are based in the North (Chicago, Detroit, Philly, NYC, Jersey, etc.)

Just makes me feel so happy,just as much as when i first heard it.Sorry to see some thumbs down, soulless dead people.

This song is absolute class. Thank you Bobby Hebb. Thanks also for posting.

We re-recorded the song and filmed Bobby singing it in 1999, in Massachussetts, right by the glorious Atlantic Ocean, on a clear blue sunny day.
CANNOT get enough of this song. Addicting
A superb classic and something which deserves to be regularly played to only true soul followers : )
this is just a top tune especially when just got back from the Twisted Wheel and danced this one on the dance floor - i love music that just makes you feel better than any drug
Bobby just passed away. We filmed these wonderful performances in early 1999. He will be much missed.
RIP Bobby , I hope he knew just how much his music is adored and still is on this side of the water ....!!!!! xxx

Played this to death on 'Soul Scene' from London's Dynamite 235, 'The BigD on 1277' in 1973, an early, and powerful AM pirate (heard in Sweden) every Sunday.

R.I.P Uncle Bobby
Neither. I'm Miya Burney's boyfriend and i've always been a fan of Uncle Bobby. So thats what I call him lol.
The bass part on this gives it a more optimistic feeling than the one on the Sunny album. I definitely prefer this version more.
Keep The Faith
Nice Epiphone, Bobby.
