    "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)" is the name of a song written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio. It was released as a single by Frankie Valli in 1965 on the Smash label. 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 same producer (Crewe), 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-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100.

    Cover versions

    ;Jay and the AmericansA version sounding similar to the Walker Brothers recording has been released by Jay and the Americans.

    ;Nielsen/Pearson In 1981, Nielsen/Pearson released their remake as a single. It became their last Hot 100 hit, peaking at number fifty-six.

    ;CherIn 1996, Cher released her remake as the fourth official European single from her thirtieth album "It's a Man's World". It made number twenty-six in the UK Singles Chart

    ;KeaneIn 2004 the British group Keane recorded a special version of this song. Unlike the original version, Tim Rice-Oxley, pianist and composer of Keane, changed the guitar for piano. He also takes the lead vocals in the second chorus, like the original version. The single was selected in summer 2004 by readers of the NME and first released as a download-only single in September, 2004. The song was given for download to the War Child foundation website and one thousand vinyl copies given as a gift to some fans of Keane, who had supported and helped the band. The numbered copies each included a handwritten note by Tim Rice-Oxley, composer of the band and signed by the other two members, thanking them for their support.

    Other notable artists who recorded this song include Jules Shear, Long John Baldry, Clarence Clemons, Neil Diamond, David Essex, The Ides of March, The Lettermen (for their 1970 album "Reflections"), and Robson and Jerome.

    The song also features in the 1991 film "Truly, Madly, Deeply", starring Alan Rickman and Juliet Stevenson, with Rickman singing and playing the main riff on the bass strings of his cello.
