“You Are My Sunshine” was first recorded in 1939. It has been declared one of the state songs of Louisiana because of its association with former state governor and country music singer Jimmie Davis. Virginia Shehee, a long-time Davis family friend and member of the Louisiana State Senate from 1976 to 1980, introduced legislation to make "You Are My Sunshine" the official state song.



The song has been covered so many times that it has moved out of country music and into mainstream pop culture. In 1941, it was covered by Gene Autry, Bing Crosby, Mississippi John Hurt and Lawrence Welk. In subsequent years, it was covered by Nat King Cole (1955), Ray Charles,Ike and Tina Turner, The Rivingtons (1962), Frank Turner, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, Brian Wilson, Mouse and the Traps, Jamey Johnson, Low and Andy Williams, and many others.



The song occurs frequently in the film “O Brother Wherefore Art Thou”.



The 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.
