The Sunshine Company was an American pop group from Los Angeles, California. Originally the duo of Mary Nance and Maury Manseau,[1] the group signed to Imperial Records and released their debut album in 1967. They scored three hit singles on the U.S. singles chart over the next two years before disbanding after their third album, 1968's self-titled effort.[2] Bassist Sims and drummer Brigante later backed Loggins and Messina. They were the first group to record "Up, Up and Away", the Jimmy Webb song made famous by The 5th Dimension.
