In this clip, western-swing act Jimmy Wakely & the Sunshine Girls perform “You Are My Sunshine.”

Jimmy Wakely was a Hollywood B-Western personality.

With his career zenith during the studio system, Wakely would star in cowboy matinees and be featured in a comic book series.

“You are my Sunshine,” one of the most covered songs of its day, is arranged here with a 1940’s pop music sensibility.
