It has been declared one of the state songs of Louisiana because of its association with former state governor and country music singer Davis.  \nThe song has been covered numerous times—so often, in fact, that it is “one of the most commercially programmed numbers in American popular music.”[2] The song, originally country music, has “virtually lost” its original country music identity, and “represent[s] both the national flowering of country music and its eventual absorption into the mainstream of American popular culture.”[2] In 1941, it was covered by Gene Autry, Bing Crosby, Mississippi John Hurt and Lawrence Welk.[2] In subsequent years, it was covered by Ray Charles, Ike and Tina Turner, The Rivingtons (1962), Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, Brian Wilson, Mouse and the Traps, Jamey Johnson, Low and Andy Williams, amongst many others.[2]  \nThe 1940 version by Davis has been added to the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress on March 21, 2013 for long-term preservation.[3]  \nChorus:  \nYou are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you’ll never know dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away.  \nVerse  \nThe other night dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms, but when I woke dear, I was mistaken, and I hung my head and cried.  \nChorus:  \nVerse  \nI’ll always love you and make you happy if you will only say the same  \nbut if you leave me to love another you’ll regret it all some day  \nChorus...  \nVerse  \nYou told me once dear you really loved me that no one else could come between but now you’ve left me and love another you have shattered all my dreams.  \nChorus...","cbCaiidybkNmOuRB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiidybkNmOuRB","pdf",31127,"English","# Background\n## Covers and cultural impact\n## National Recording Registry\n# Lyrics","[{\"question\":\"Who recorded “You Are My Sunshine,” and when was it first recorded?\",\"answer\":\"Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell recorded “You Are My Sunshine,” first recorded in 1939.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is the song associated with Louisiana?\",\"answer\":\"It has been declared one of the state songs of Louisiana due to its association with former state governor and country music singer Jimmie Davis.\"},{\"question\":\"What recognition did the 1940 version receive?\",\"answer\":\"The 1940 version by Davis was added to the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress on March 21, 2013.\"}]","You Are My Sunshine - Song History - Lyrics & Recordings | PDF"]
