Sunshine
That is a particular era isn’t it?
I think ABC did a tv movie about a hippieish guy almost widower with his little girl named Sunshine around early 73 I think
Inspired by that song
Well done
I like this version better

Ray Stevens “Since Bubba changed his name to Charlene”
Dylan is one of those songwriters whose songs are often better when covered by others, But it is all just a matter of personal taste.
I always was partial to Leon Russel's version:
It Takes a lot to Laugh, It takes a Train to Cry -- Leon Russell
Crystal Blue Persuasion
Or Friday and Saturday night at the skating rink!
This is the song Kris wrote and presented to June in her backyard via helicopter. When he handed her the music, he said to her:
"I've just written Johnny's next hit"
He was right and Johnny's version is the first recording of that song. Chris released his version after he became a star, with a big push from Johnny Cash.
As an aside: At my son's wedding, some years ago, I met the guitar player who toured with Kris (and others) and was a studio guitarist in Nashville. In our discussion he confirmed the story to me, correcting some errors in version I had heard years earlier.
I love that song. Don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad rendition of it.
