Scott Walker Song of the Week: The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)

From Wikipedia:

"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)" is a song written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio (of The Four Seasons). It was originally released as a single by Frankie Valli in 1965 on the Smash label, and has been recorded by numerous artists since, including The Walker Brothers, Cher and Keane.

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. Retitled "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore", this version met with much greater success than Valli's. It topped the UK Singles Chart and also became their highest rating song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S., where it peaked at #13. The single also went top 10 in the Netherlands.
