==History==
The group was discovered by band manager of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Bill McEuen. McEuen proposed they record a single, titled Up, Up and Away, which would have been released had not the 5th Dimension released their own top ten version. Their first released single, "Happy", charted at number 50 nationally, while competing with another version by The Blades of Grass, and the band put The Sunshine Company to its name. Guitarist Douglas Mark joined to form a quintet as the band released their top 40 hit, "Back On the Street Again", but the band never again achieved such success.
By the fall of 1967, the band released their debut LP under Imperial Records, titled ''Happy Is The Sunshine Company''. It included their two charting singles and charted at number 126 on the ''Billboard 200''. In 1968, the group released their last top 100 charting single, "Look Here Comes The Sun", charting at number 56. A further two albums were released in the year but success eluded the band. There was a proposed fourth album ''Think'' but The Sunshine Company broke up before recordings were complete.
Bregante now lives in Liberty Hill, Texas, where he has his own recording studio.〔http://lhindependent.com/2015/04/studio-owner-making-hits-in-liberty-hill/〕 Sims died in December 2014.〔http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2014/12/18/in-memoriam-larry-sims/〕
