That Lucky Old Sun is a song I recall from my younger days but it had not come to mind until a couple of weeks ago when it was performed by a new friend, Matthew Harrison, an American who now lives and works here in the Isle of Man.
The song was a 1949 popular song with music by Beasley Smith and words by Haven Gillespie.
The biggest hit version of the song was by Frankie Laine. This recording was released by Mercury Records as catalog number 5316. It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on August 19, 1949, and lasted 22 weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 1.
