"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)" was written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio and originally released as a single by Frankie Valli in 1965. It failed to make the charts. A year later, The Walker Brothers version became a world-wide hit. It topped the UK charts and became their biggest song in the US – peaking at #13. The song would later be a minor hit for Neil Diamond, Cher and the group Keane.
It seemed fitting to use this Lost Original today. John Walker, lead singer and guitar player for The Walker Brothers, passed away on Saturday, May 7th 2011. Their version defines the sound of 60's AM radio.
