It's been beautiful weather with lots of blue skies post-Matthew, and this music video essay celebrates this by presenting songs from the Billboard year-end Top 30 charts (1955-2015) that reference "blue sky" and "blue skies" in chronological order:

The Brothers Four are an American folk singing group, founded in 1957 in Seattle, Washington, known for their 1960 hit song "Greenfields". Bob Flick, John Paine, Mike Kirkland, and Dick Foley met at the University of Washington, where they were members of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity in 1956 (hence the "Brothers" appellation).

I hope YouTube doesn't remove this version. Please YouTube I posted this video to COMMENT on how great this song is with no expecations of anything. Yes, I am CRITICIZING YouTube for their actions on other videos that have been removed but also am TEACHING, I hope, that music should not be censored by greed in this forum of us little people and "et al".

Legendary song-writer and singer Neil Diamond stars in this remake of Al Jolson's seminal 1927 musical The Jazz Singer. The modern story is about a Jewish cantor's son who desires success as a pop singer, despite the wishes of his imperious father.

The Allman Brothers Band Blue Sky (February 12,1972) Eat A Peach LP Eat A Peach For Peace Dickey Betts wrote this about his Native American girlfriend, Sandy "Bluesky" Wabegijig. Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing, It don't worry 'bout where it's going, no, no.
