Answer:

The "Sonny" in the title therefore literally refers to the character of Sonny. But "Sonny" is also a pun on the word "sunny," which evokes bright imagery. "Blues" is also a pun. Sonny has blues or sorrows because, despite his talents, he can't seem to get his life together or shake his drug addictions.
