"You Bring The Sunshine (Back Into My Life)" by The Sylvers

The Sylvers were a family vocal group from Memphis that scored a handful of hits in the 70s blending funk, pop, dance, and disco. They first cracked the chart in 1972 when "Fool's Paradise" managed to hit #94.

Bigger hits would follow by 1976, including the #1 smash "Boogie Fever." While the next single, "Cotton Candy," crapped out at #59, they came back with "Hot Line," which reached #5. After "High School Dance" performed well at #17, the group saw their final chart appearance with the infectious "Any Way You Want Me," which stalled at #72.

"You Bring The Sunshine (Back Into My Life)" is a bright and charming song typical of the era, but bringing in a distinct Motown vibe. It can be found on their 1977 album, "New Horizons."
