Edwards subsequently dropped out of the music scene in the mid 70's and bought a farm in Nova Scotia, Canada. ("Sunshine" was featured on the soundtrack to the hit comedy "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.") While Jonathan's debut album was a pop-folk effort, his follow-up albums "Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboy," "Have a Good Time for Me," and "Lucky Day" were more country-oriented and hence less successful.
The song was actually a last minute recording that was done to replace another track called "Please Find Me" on Edwards' debut album which had been accidentally erased. He scored a massive Top 5 hit with the catchy and defiant protest song "Sunshine" in 1971. Jonathan left the group in 1970 to pursue a solo career. With his blues band Suger Creek in tow, Edwards went to Boston, Massachusetts in 1967 and recorded the album "Please Tell a Friend" in 1969. Moreover, Jonathan performed at local clubs in various folk, blues and rock bands. Edwards studied art while attending college in Ohio, but still continued to play music as well.
Jonathan began playing the guitar while he was in high school in the early 60's. He first started playing music on piano as a kid and took music lessons from a lady who lived next door. Singer, songwriter and guitarist Jonathan Edwards was born on Jin Minneapolis, Minnesota.
