Song of the Day: On the Sunny Side of the Street, music by Jimmy McHugh, lyrics by Dorothy Fields, was introduced in Lew Leslie’s International Revue. Some archivists suggest that this 1930 song was actually written by Fats Waller, who sold the rights to it. Be that as it may, the song earned its place in the Great American Songbook. Tommy Dorsey and The Sentimentalists (aka The Clark Sisters) took this song to #16 on the popular charts in 1945. Check out that Dorsey rendition as well as swinging versions by Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald (with Count Basie) [YouTube links].
