.: When Sunny Gets Blue :. OoRIKoO Date Submitted:  2019-09-05 [Archive Date: 2019-12-04] Genre:  General Original Artist:  Johnny Mathis Additional Info:  Disc Mfg:    Disc #:   Description:  "When Sunny Gets Blue" was written by Marvin Fisher and Jack Segal it begins with the lyrics When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get grey and cloudy then the rain begins to fall. In 1984, DJ Rick Dees, a radio personality at Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM, recorded a parody of the song for an album, including the lyrics "When Sunny sniffs glue, her eyes get red and bulgy, then her hair begins to fall". Dees sought permission to use the lyrics, but was refused; subsequently, he used 38 bars of the song under the fair use doctrine. In 1986, composers Marvin Fisher and Jack Segal sued Dees for copyright violation and defamation in U.S. District Court for Los Angeles. The district court issued a summary judgment, finding for Dees. Fisher appealed and the court affirmed the judgment stating that the parody was intended to criticize for purposes of humor not to copy and did not damage the original The case has become a landmark further refining the doctrine of fair use in U.S. copyright law.

Thank you for this easy listen, Rik Reply: Joyce my friend thanks so much. I am so glad you liked this as it is my favorite Johnny Mathis tune also. I have made it a habit to steer clear of his tunes as they have the "Been Done" mark but I just had to sing this one.
