The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)

Song written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio

"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)" is a song written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio. It was originally released as a single credited to Frankie Valli as a solo artist in 1965 on the Smash label, but was more successful when recorded by the Walker Brothers in 1966. Cher, Keane, Doug Parkinson and Bruce Springsteen have also recorded the song. Frankie Valli recorded and released the first version of the song but his single achieved only limited success, charting on Billboards Bubbling Under Hot 100 singles chart (#128) but not making the Billboard Hot 100 itself. Although it was recorded in a Four Seasons recording session (with the other band members at that time), it was Valli's first official "solo" single since the 1950s.

In 1990, in the movie 'Truly, Madly, Deeply', this song was sung as a cover, as well as playing a prominent role in trailer. In 2010, this version was used in the promotional trailer for the AMC television series The Walking Dead. In 2012, the Walker Brothers' rendition played a prominent role in the film Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. It was featured the following year in the film Stoker. In 2013, the single's B side, "After the Lights Go Out", played over the end credits of the Canadian Spanish psychological thriller film Enemy. In 2018, the Hulu streaming service series Castle Rock used the Walker Brothers' recording in season 1, episode 6.

The Ormsby Brothers released a version as a single in 1974, which peaked at #93 in Australia. Neil Diamond included it as the 9th track of his 1979 LP album September Morn, with Bob Gaudio at the piano. Doug Parkinson recorded it with Broderick Smith on his 1981 album Heartbeat To Heartbeat. It was released as a single, peaking at #18 in Australia. Singing the song is a game the couple often played. Jules Shear included a version on his 1994 album The Healing Bones. Bruce Springsteen recorded the song for his 2022 album Only the Strong Survive.
