"The Man in Black" characteristically serves up a dose of twisted darkness disguised as bright sunshine in this melancholic 1969 rendition of the song first written by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell in 1939 (although it has been suggested that writer Paul Rice actually sold the tune to Jimmie Davis). "You Are My Sunshine" has been covered by Bing Crosby, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Carly Simon, Aretha Franklin and many other artists over the years but no one quite pulls it off like Johnny Cash, whose gravelly toned voice proves the perfect vehicle for a rocky breakup song that went on to become an unlikely children's classic. "I've always loved you and made you happy / And nothing else could come between / But now you've left me to love another / You have shattered all of my dreams," he wails melancholically. In 1977, "You Are My Sunshine" was declared one of the state songs of Louisiana in honour of Jimmie Davis, a two-time governor of the state.
