The Walker Brothers performing "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore", released originally in 1966.
It reached #1 UK Singles Chart, #2 Canada Top Singles, and #13 US Billboard Hot 100.
"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore!" is a cover of a Frankie Valli song, co-written by Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe. The Walker Brothers' version of the song is widely regarded as a classic and more successful than Valli's version. The Walker Brothers were not actually brothers, but a Los Angeles trio. They tried their hand at the song with a different production team, and their version rose to No. 1 in England and No. 13 in the United States.
The Walker Brothers were an American pop group that achieved significant commercial success in the 1960s, particularly in the United Kingdom. The trio consisted of Scott Engel (who later changed his name to Scott Walker), John Maus (who later changed his name to John Walker), and Gary Leeds (who later changed his name to Gary Walker). Despite the name, none of the members were actually brothers.
Scott Walker was the group's primary vocalist and is regarded as one of the most revered innovators at the sharp end of creative music, whose influence on many artists has been freely acknowledged. The scope and dynamism of his vision have added dimension to both film and dance, and he has stunned audiences with music whose composition transcends genre and whose sheer originality defies pigeonholing.
