Sun is shinin' in the sky...

Even if it isn't this cold, damp November morning, then you should still enjoy a classic bit of pop froth courtesy of the students of the RNCM and Jeff Lynne the Electric Light Orchestra...

Sunshine
  The classic pop song will put a smile on your face...

We can all do with a little bit of cheering up at the moment — so why not just click on the link below and enjoy a fantastic rendition of the classic pop song 'Mr Blue Sky', courtesy of 80 students from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.

It will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step this morning for sure...

Written by Jeff Lynne it was originally released in 1977 by the Electric Light Orchestra from their album 'Out of the Blue' and made it to number 6 in the UK charts.

Happiest

However, it has since become one of the most popular pop releases ever — played on radio and television just about every time there is a bit of summer sun in the sky. It's since been voted the happiest pop song of all time.

It has been released with permission of Jeff Lynne and EMI Blackwood Music Inc., via Sony/ATV Music Publishing.

Enjoy
