THE FORTUNES • The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore) (HQ)
This video was recorded on september 10th 2022 at the famous live club "Harmonie" in Bonn, Germany for the live series "BEAT in der OT".
"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)" is a song written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio. 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 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 in over a decade.
In 1966, The Walker Brothers released their remake as a single. Re-titled "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-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S., where it peaked at #13. The single also hit the Top 10 in Canada, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Norway.
In 2014, this version appeared in the Supernatural episode “Meta Fiction,” season 9 episode 18.
The song plays over the end credits of the 2019 folk horror film Midsommar and during the final scene of the Hulu Original TV Series, "Shut Eye".
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, and Bruce Springsteen have also recorded the song. (Source: Wikipedia)
