It's a Sunshine Day - Best of the Brady Bunch

 (59 customer reviews)

The Brady Six, the Silver Platters, even the theme song, they are all here on this most excellent Brady Bunch C.D.The songs you expect are all here; It's A Sunshine Day - Time To Change - Keep On - and you are treated to a wide variety of other tunes that will keep Brady fans entranced for the length of the C.D. The key here is the quality of the recordings, which is very, very high. I've heard some old TV C.D.s that sounded like someone recorded them in 1973 with a portable cassette deck, but this is not one of them. Throw this into your family stereo and this baby will pump out the Bradys like they were just recorded last week.My kids love this C.D. and it's fun to be able to pop something in the stereo that you don't have to mute when certain words come on if you get my drift.A great treat for Brady fans and lovers of bubblegum music everywhere, this C.D. will not disappoint!

I have mixed feelings about this collection of Brady Bunch songs. Although it features four well-known songs from the show, it leaves out the first song Gregg ever wrote (on the show when cigarettes were found in Gregg's jacket), the song that has the words "...we got plenty of blues and sorta bad news--re-act, posi-tive-ly" (I think it was the song they used in the talent show audition where they were featured as the Silver Platters) and "Girl" by Davy Jones and adds a bunch of songs I don't ever recall hearing on any Brady Bunch episode. If it weren't for the theme song, "Sunshine Day," "Keep On," and "Time to Change," I would have given this collection zero stars. If you're going to have only one Brady Bunch album, please make it a complete one...

Like many people of a certain age, I grew up watching the final seasons of "The Brady Bunch" when they were first broadcast. And then my sisters and I watched the endlessly broadcast re-runs over and over, to the point where we could repeat the dialogue with the actors. So naturally, I listened to "It's a Sunshine Day: The Best of the Brady Bunch" with a natural bias towards the material and the performers. But on repeated listening, I found that the kids from "Bunch" actually left behind a respectable body of music."The Brady Bunch," of course, was a beloved TV comedy series about a "blended" family of 6 kids. Like the characters of many other TV programs (such as "The Monkees" and "The Partridge Family"), the kids from "Bunch" embarked on a singing career both within the fictional universe of the show and in the "real" world. The CD is a quirky potpourri of songs from the TV show, cuts from...Read more
