You Are My Sunshine was first released in 1939 and copyrighted in 1940, but the original writer of the lyrics is debated.  On March 14, 1941, Gene Autry debuted the song in his movie Back in the Saddle.  

The song has been covered over 300 times by famous singers such as Bing Crosby, Doris Day and Ray Charles. The song was even part of The Simpsons television show in 1997. The song is one of the official songs for the state of Louisiana.
