[@caspa2909]

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 💗

[@mebeasensei]

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.

[@drabbit61]

Damn! That's sweet

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 .

[@iankearns774]

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.

[@stewartdalton3298]

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. 🇦🇺💯

[@pollyleetie]

These guys were and still are awesome. A great era in Australian music.

[@kerryn6714]

I adore Glenn Shorrock. What's a magnificent voice and this is a brilliant song. A true Aussie legend✌️🇦🇺🙂

[@dazzr6]

Brian Cadd is the guy on the piano and he still sings this song at all his concerts.

[@stephenanthony6508]

It's been a standard in caddies set for decades.

[@anthonybrisbane5276]

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.

[@Cathi1959]

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. :)

[@jaynispell168]

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.

[@terriann1977]

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.

[@kathleen170459]

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!!

This is one of the greatest songs !!!!!

[@eoinociarain7986]

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!

[@craigday4558]

I dedicated this song today to my daughter on her 5 th birthday. 54 years after it was released

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.

[@greganderson8257]

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

[@KefirGrain]

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]

[@georgewilliam5367]

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.

[@georgewilliam5367]

@@KefirGrain My sincere condolences. I hold on to hope that we will once again be reunited with our loved ones.

[@fantaz963]

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.

[@bluebird3042]

I'm so sorry 💕

[@terrimitchell-whatdoyouthink]

My Dad dedicated this song to me when it came out -- I was only 3, and I will never forget it.

[@debbiebeggs8350]

This song would make any parent cry if they heard it after the birth of a buetiful baby girl

[@Wallmart-Hazzard-FKN-GRIFTERS]

[@rodneybrown1485]

Just Beautiful, one of the best songs ever.

[@thisiswright]

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

[@expatmartin]

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

[@abbeyjones6315]

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!

[@parislegall-zobec5604]

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.

[@Jackie-rc6cj]

I was born in 1970, this song was still on the radio all the time. Timeless and perfect.

[@steeplepossum39]

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.

[@cjjuddaustralianartist]

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.

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.

'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.
