This song means so much to me, dedicated to me on the day I was born. My parents would sing this when I was just a little girl. Now I have my own little ray of sunshine 💗
I have no kids, probably won’t but this one hits me. Get to be sentimental sometimes…when all your peers have kids grown up or growing up…but it’s all good..we are all in the one family…sort of.. I hope.
Well, my eldest is a girl, with red hair and as I drove home from the hospital after she was born. I turned on the radio and this song came on. Must be cosmic about this song. 🇦🇺💯
My daddy said that this was his song for me. I was born in 1970. His in heaven now so I play this Sunday night's at 6.15pm in honor of his passing. Love you all the world dad xx
my dad and I dedicated this song to my gorgeous baby girl who was taken away from at 15months old. I love hearing this song as she was our little ray of sunshine
Greg Anderson sorry for your loss. I lost a baby daughter at 16 months of age, she was born with a rare disorder, Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome [SDS], or Shwachman Syndrome [SS]
When our girl was born in 1971, this became the song for her. Sadly, 5 weeks ago we had it play during the committal of her body. It's no longer a happy song for us, rather a reflective song. Thank you Brian Cadd & Don Mudie for putting this song together.
brian cadd song writer ..glen singer good combo My little girl was born in the US, but I'm an Aussie, and this is her song. Great aussie rockers. Great times great music.
we dedicated this song to our daughter 29 yrs ago, being blonde and blue eyed etc, etc perfect for her and now she has her own daughter not a week old, we have posted this song on facebook for her, with tears of pride and a full heart thanks you brian and all of axiom i was 10 when this song was released and i loved it then, still love it now!!
Last night I had the pleasure to see Glenn Shorrock and Brian Cadd in concert in Brisbane. Glenn is 77 and Brian 76. What performers! When they played this great song bought tears to my eyes as this is what I played on the way home from the hospital after my daugther was born in 1994. I had it on a CD and kept hitting the repeat. It was a 240 km trip from the hospital to home.
I love this song...This song was playing on the car radio whilst my daughter was being born in the ambulance on the main Highway 18 years ago. Her father was listening to it just before he pulled up behind the ambulance. They opened up the door and congratulated him on the birth of his daughter and told him to meet us at the hospital. So, this is Chelsea's song! Cathi. :)
I made my own little movie when my daughter was born 2 years ago with this song, brings tears to my eyes every time!What a great classic,absolutely brilliant.
After 18 hrs at the hospital waiting for my daughter to be born my little Ray of Sunshine came into the world 9.03 pm 24/6/1995. About 11 pm my Mother in Law sent me home in a cab and a few songs in on the cab ride home this song came on the radio. Will never forget that moment!
An amazing coincidence in time & place, which I just stumbled over ! This Channel 9 Adelaide clip was filmed in the courtyard outside the old church, which in more recent years was the NWS9 canteen. Right at the end of the clip, you'll see host & my old 5KA colleague Vince Lovegrove of 'The Valentines' back announce Axiom. By the way, up until July 2010 our Adelaide radio sales team was temporarily working in 'the old church', during renovations at MIX & Cruise ! Regards, IAN in Victor Harbor
My dad, on the day of my birth, requested this song on the major radio station. He said he wanted to state to everyone that 'his' little ray of sunshine has entered his life. I will always keep this song close in my heart.
This is the first song I heard on my way home from the birth of my little girl in 89" so fitting.she was so so tiny,but we took her home she is now grown to a lovely woman with girls of her own..Makes me cry ,,.but happy at same time.
I'm so glad to have lived through that period of wonderful Australian bands and the music they produced. So angry the rest of the world ignored us. Australia produced every bit as good as England or America did. Those days are gone now, music today is just noise.
I remember first hearing this gem of a song on GTK on the ABC just before Bellbird. It must have been in 1970. A great song and Glen Shorrock and Brian Cadd terrific singers. What wonderful memories and I can't believe it was 39m years ago. Thank you for the clip Expatmartin
The best moments of my life was holding my baby girl after she was born.A little ray of sunshine had come in to this world and has given her parents so much happiness.
What a beautiful song! I was only 3 when this song came out but I always think of my daughter (don't we all!) who is now nearly 19. An awesome young woman but perennially my baby girl! Love you Sarina! :)
this is the song my mum played when she brought me home from the hospital and it is also the song my mum played when i bought my baby girl home from the hospital.
Love this song. It makes me think of my sister and my family when she was born in 1972, in Adelaide. Dedicate this to all the little girls past and future. X
This came on the radio the day, my daughter Tahlee was born back in 1995. I was in a cab on the way home from the hospital after 18 hours with my wife and got sent home by my Mother in law. Strange how those things happen.
My wife and I love this song which reminds us of our daughter who will be getting married in 2023 on our 35th Wedding Anniversary which we intend to have it choreographed to dance to on the night.....
This song was released the same week my daughter was born.... Couldn't keep my shit together when I heard it then, and nearly 50 years down the track, still can't.... :)
'Little Ray of Sunshine' is ultra special in our family. Our mother sang along with baby Katie on her hip. Days before Katie turned one, our pregnant mother suicided, leaving us ten kids behind. We can't listen to 'Little Ray of Sunshine' without thinking about our mother and what might have been. Some melodies freeze frame time.
So sad for you all. I try to Imagine looking after 10 children and the worry that could be, amongst the tiredness she must have had 😥 God be with you all & your mum 🕊
Ouch, that's hard. So sorry for you and your Siblings. I have 3 of my own +2B's and was talking to my Mum just yesterday. My heart goes out to all that loose their Mother's before their time..
This song came on when driving home from the hospital when my daughter was born. I hadn't heard it for at least 10 years before that moment. The universe is a strange wonderful place.
G'Day,I was at the Theatre when Axiom first Sang This🤯,I was 20 at the time ,I remember if it was Oxford Street Paddington, they also sang" Laying on Arkansas Grass", wow what a Flashback this is!
Nice type mate hope they caught up with you and made you pay up! This is a beautiful song, those were the day's Carefree, great Aussie Rock and. Good times rolled!
@0591579 Glenn Shorrock was lead singer for both bands and Brian Cadd produced a lot of Aussie bands in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Often the boys would play together at the Roxy or Golden Gate pubs in South Melbourne. On these nights it was hard to know who was from where or when but regardless they were brilliant. Geoff Cox usually managed to be there for these occasions sprouting how he was Little river bands drummer. Truth the drummer broke an arm so coxy filled in to complete a tour.
@gfingersc Over time they all played together at different times. LRB had different line ups at times. They even had Coxy play drums at 1 stage when they were desperate! Main difference between Axiom and LRB was no Brian Cadd but he produced a lot of LRB music. In the early 80's it was interesting watching the lineups that played at the Council Club and Roxy Hotels in South Melbourne. Axiom/LRB and friends played together many times, they even let Coxy hit the drums ocassionally.
Great aussie rockers. Great times great music. brian cadd song writer ..glen singer good combo My little girl was born in the US, but I'm an Aussie, and this is her song.
I wanted to buy thi song for son when his daugther was born his first girl. its a beautiful song my hubby dedicated this on to his little ray of sunshine BEAUTIFUL xxxx to kimberly my little ray of sunshine i love you this son brings me to tears

Damn! That's sweet
Brian Cadd is the guy on the piano and he still sings this song at all his concerts.
It's been a standard in caddies set for decades.
These guys were and still are awesome. A great era in Australian music.
I adore Glenn Shorrock. What's a magnificent voice and this is a brilliant song. A true Aussie legend✌️🇦🇺🙂
my dad said that this song came on the radio when he was driving home after i was born
Same with me and my daughter Bridget.
I heard this after leave the hospital after my daughters birth December 1976.
I was born in 1970 and my mum always sung this to me .
As I just posted above, the same thing happened to me but I was in a cab coming home from the Women's hospital in Melbourne.
Well, my eldest is a girl, with red hair and as I drove home from the hospital after she was born. I turned on the radio and this song came on.
Must be cosmic about this song. 🇦🇺💯

I am so sad to hear that. My baby daughter is roughly 17 months old today. If there is such a thing as Heaven, your Daughter is there waiting for for.
@@KefirGrain My sincere condolences. I hold on to hope that we will once again be reunited with our loved ones.
When our girl was born in 1971, this became the song for her. Sadly, 5 weeks ago we had it play during the committal of her body. It's no longer a happy song for us, rather a reflective song. Thank you Brian Cadd & Don Mudie for putting this song together.

My Dad dedicated this song to me when it came out -- I was only 3, and I will never forget it.
Glen Shorrock is such a good singer.
and Brian Cadd on the piano
I listened to Cool Change an hour ago. 🐬♥️
I didn't recognize him, but the voice is unmistakable.
Yea shame it's not him
@@michellejames3136 You must be a troll. It is him
oh my gosh my dad showed me this today and told me it is "my song" because straight after i was born and he got in the car- this came onto the radio!
The best moments of my life was holding my baby girl after she was born.A little ray of sunshine had come in to this world and has given her parents so much happiness.
First heard this brilliant song 54 years ago. It's still one of my top 10 of all time.
This is one of the greatest songs !!!!!
So glad I found this clip of the song....just luv it
Great aussie rockers. Great times great music.

This song would make any parent cry if they heard it after the birth of a buetiful baby girl
I was born in 1970, this song was still on the radio all the time. Timeless and perfect.
this is the song my mum played when she brought me home from the hospital and it is also the song my mum played when i bought my baby girl home from the hospital.
Love this song. It makes me think of my sister and my family when she was born in 1972, in Adelaide. Dedicate this to all the little girls past and future. X

My wife and I love this song which reminds us of our daughter who will be getting married in 2023 on our 35th Wedding Anniversary which we intend to have it choreographed to dance to on the night.....
Sharrock and Cadd a lethal combination for sure.........good one.
My little girl was born in the US, but I'm an Aussie, and this is her song.
This was before LRB - Glenn Shorrock went on to lead LRB later on in the 70's and they enjoyed some hit songs in the US.
This song was released the same week my daughter was born.... Couldn't keep my shit together when I heard it then, and nearly 50 years down the track, still can't.... :)
Back in the days when music videos only cost about $100 to make.
fantastic...........I luv this song. thnx 4 the post
He looks just like Owen. All the best wishes 😁🫶

Rockin Aussie the year after I sprouted

Wished that youtubes were always set to be played on ipads and iphones.
BTW an absolutely beautiful song. Takes me back to wonderful times!
I believe this clip was filmed out the back of the old NWS channel 9 studios in Adelaide.
That channel 9 symbol doubled down on the nostalgia factor!!
my wife just had our second baby, a girl and I played this clip and she just cried!
beautiful song
my mum useto play this to me all the time when i was little.
she useto say this song is my song :)
My mom and dad used to sing this song to me when i was born till this day they still sing it to me, God i love this song
I have two "Little rays of sunshine", now both adults but they will always be my rays of sunshine and beautiful people, SMS & RRS xo
A classic song, from a short-lived band. Glenn Shorrock's autobiography is also worth a read.
So is another 60-70s star's bio - 'Saved by the LIGHT of the Buddha Within' What's happened since in his life is nothing short of mind-blowing.
So glad I found this clip of the song....just luv it
Shorrock looks like the archetype 70s rock star .......Incredible !!!
Great aussie rockers. Great times great music.
brian cadd song writer ..glen singer good combo
My little girl was born in the US, but I'm an Aussie, and this is her song.

Brings back memories ... beautiful memories including the birth of my daughters who are both shining lights whom I love very much.

My little girl was born in the US, but I'm an Aussie, and this is her song.

My dad always said this song was about me...until my sister came along then it was about her too!

to kimberly my little ray of sunshine i love you this son brings me to tears
It's not important what you wear,
As long you have your hair,
IT reminds me of Sunshine,
Lil Ray of Sunshine...
For my grand daughter Sadie ❤
