When Sunny Gets Blue-Jazz Standard(Cover)

"When Sunny Gets Blue" is a jazz standard[1] with music by Marvin Fisher and lyrics by Jack Segal. The song was originally recorded in 1956 by Johnny Mathis backed by Ray Conniff and his Orchestra and released as the B-side of Mathis's debut single "Wonderful! Wonderful!". "When Sunny Gets Blue" was included on the compilation album Johnny's Greatest Hits, released in April 1958.
Johnny Mathis was billed as a jazz singer on his debut album, which was released by Columbia Records in 1956. In the liner notes for his 1993 box set The Music of Johnny Mathis: A Personal Collection, Mathis is quoted as saying that the head of A&R at Columbia, Mitch Miller, "hated what I was singing, and he hated the way I was singing it."[2] Miller wanted to teach him to sing using the "choirboy quality in his voice".[3] He gave Mathis a stack of demos and sheet music from which he was to select four songs for a recording session on September 21, 1956, with Miller and Al Ham producing.[2][a] Two of his selections, "Wonderful! Wonderful!" and "When Sunny Gets Blue", were released as his first single on November 5.[2]
