"Sunday Sunrise" is a song written by Mark James and recorded by Brenda Lee and Anne Murray. Lee's version was a Top Ten U.S. and Canadian Country hit in 1973. Murray's rendition reached #13 on both the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart and the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. [1] The song appeared on Murray's 1975 album, Together [2] and was produced by Tom Catalano. [3]
The song is about the new hope that the dawning of the day brings.
Brenda Lee released a version in 1973 that reached No. 6 on the Hot Country Songs chart in October 1973. [4] For Lee, it was the second single release of a song written by Mark James, the first being " Always On My Mind." With the song's top 10 placement on the chart, it marked back-to-back top 10 hits for Lee, the teen-aged pop star from the 1960s who had in the meantime developed a strong following among country fans; her previous single, the Kris Kristofferson-penned " Nobody Wins," reached No. 5 in May 1973.
