"That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day) by Frankie Laine


I remember I bought a reissue 45 RPM single of "That Lucky Old Sun" in like the 70's and I so loved it.  I played it a lot.

It was funny that when I was searching for it on YouTube this song didn't even show up in the suggestions list.  It was the song on the record shown on the front of the "Golden Hits" album cover and is the first track on the album.

So weird to think this song was a hit in 1949, 64 years ago.  There was also a 1957 re-recording on YouTube.  I don't remember the 1957 recording at all, but it is interesting.  A little more stylized and emotional?
