The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore) - The Walker Brothers




The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore) is the name of a song written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio. It was originally released as a single by Frankie Valli in 1965 on the Smash label. The single achieved only limited success, charting on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 singles chart but not making the Hot 100 itself. Although it was recorded in a Four Seasons recording session (with the other group members at that time) it was Valli's first official solo single in over a decade. In 1966, The Walker Brothers released their remake as a single. This version met with much greater success than Valli's. It topped the UK Singles Chart and also became their highest rated song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, where it peaked at #13 in May 1966.
