Sunshine Superman\" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. The \"Sunshine Superman\" single was released in the United States through Epic Records (Epic 5-10045) in July 1966, but due to a contractual dispute the United Kingdom release was delayed until December 1966, where it appeared on Donovan's previous label, Pye Records (Pye 7N 17241). The \"Sunshine Superman\" single was backed with \"The Trip\" on both the United States and United Kingdom releases. It has been described as having, \"proven to be [one of the] classics of the era,\" and as, \"the quintessential bright summer sing along\"
