The Walker Brothers - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine "Anymore" (1966)

[ShunkanSpline]

Epic Song,

[Mrscrazydude]

Dorian Gray-Sjaj u tami brought me here ;) both songs are great!!! :)

[disjoinedchip2]

is this a phil spector production?

[TheBacmaster]

@disjoinedchip2 British rock fans noticed their rugged good looks and the band members developed a production style that borrowed heavily from that of American record producer Phil Spector. In late 1965 they had a number one hit on the British charts with Make It Easy On Yourself, and followed with another that reached that spot early the following year with The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine [Anymore] and My Ship Is Comin

[disjoinedchip2]

@TheBacmaster ah right. thanks. sounds a lot like spector's sound.

[magical108]

@disjoinedchip2 No, this a Bob Crewe production...a genius whom I was very fortunate to know and work with.

[stratovani]

Love the Mellotron in this song!

[Brutal666MAN]

did anyone check out cher cover,i thought she sings original after hearing it in x files episode,just amazing cover,

[MattPlaysGuitar21]

It seems like when I pull up a video for this song on anyone's video, you'll at least see one comment about The Walking Dead or a top comment about the Walking Dead. Who cares, I love this show! :D

[AReynolds3]

My grandma passed away almost a week ago, and my uncle played this at her funeral. It was one of her favorite songs.

[Zap420Branigan]

The sun aint gonna shine anymore

[KaiserChiefCZ]

I prefer Keane's cover version

[thermoj]

Just wanted to clarify...The Walker Brothers made their greatest success in Britain; however, they are originally from the US. Gary Walker was born Gary Leeds in 1942 in Glendale, CA...Scott Walker as Noel Scott Engel in 1943 in Hamilton, OH and John Walker as John Joseph Maus in 1943 in New York, NY. The Walker Brothers were formed in 1964 in Los Angeles.

[DavidHill333]

This music will live on after we are all gone.

[Papacoification]

@DavidHill333 And even if we are all gone and start chasing after the living ones.

[BAILkrewCOMPANY]

when i first saw the trailer for walking dead and this was on it.. i tripped

[spacebullseye]

Like I said before, someone needs to make an AMV out of this!

[amapola997]

good song

[isleofcars10]

Walking Dead For the Win!

[fferrara1956]

This song was written by the 4 Seasons songwriting team of Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe. It was Frankie Valli's first solo release in 1965. It was poorly received, never charting. The Walker Brothers' cover was lusher and more commercially successful, making the Top 20 in the States and No 1 in the UK.

[sydudi52]

Your music lives as long "as men can see and men can breathe." Lovely song. Touches the soul.

[pepinjonaselje]

One of the best songs ever!!!

[SophieScarlette]

Great photos! :)

[LiamK54321]

RIP, most muscians would die to be associated with a classic song like this in their lifetime, thank you for giving it to us........ the sun will shine as long as this song is played ........... the george cornell ref is weird though!

RIP John Walker

[SouthernBreeze]

Good God! I haven't heard this song in years. It reminds me of my first heart break in Jr. High school.  Ugh! That hurt like hell.

[trevelyan64]

This is for a close family friend who's husband has just passed away,,, xx

[LloydDutch]

This played when George Cornell was shot, the word kept repeating on "anymore" just after he took the bullet.

[TheBacmaster]

@LloydDutch At first I thought you were kidding! I just looked up George Cornell on Wiki and there it is! Just the way you posted it. Very interesting!!! Thank you

[LloydDutch]

@TheBacmaster No problem, I was there at the time, (cant remember the name of the pub something like "widows") take it from me, I knew George and people do nothing but go on about what an git he was, quite the contuary, he was a decent bloke, hard as nails, and totally fearless. The Krays were to scared to go on face to face with him because they knew he would beat the living daylights out of them.

[maureenbryant]

I can't believe that you got the wrong pub, not only because it is so famous in London now, but also because you say you were actually there!!!!! For your information the pub is called The Blind Beggar.

[movi3srock]

@TheBacmaster i looked it up and never saw that info...

[cozstuart]

@LloydDutch this is true, loads of people think it's a myth. you know you're history.

[DemonWarp65]

I can't wait til season 2!! Hope it lasts longer. And no, the sun is NEVER gonna shine anymore.

[WeLiveToDanceAlone]

damn this song is so good, i think its time i get another album :)

[JerseyGirl631]

I have loved this song forever and when I heard it in connection with The Walking Dead, I was just blown away! So perfect.

[WarlordKV]

I thing The Walker Bros never thought of how apocalyptic this can get.

[colindaleradiosutch]

TOP GEAR, THE WALKERS. GREAT STUFF, QUALITY ALWAYS SHINES THROUGH. colindaleradiosutch

[trevelyan64]

Never a better song written or sang, means a thousand things but personal to each and everyone,,,,

[WarlordKV]

@trevelyan64 Exactly!

[RMBELARDO]

@trevelyan64 You are right. Means a lot of different things to everyone. For me, I was drafted into the army at 21. Heard this song in 1966 and thought I was going to die during the Vietnam War. Strange, I am still here and the lead singer is gone. Enjoy every minute you have on this earth.

[kenken8765]

feels like your walking on a empty highway corpses around you and you see thousands of zombies in front of you

[SuperAmos31]

A brilliant video and my favourite song of all time . It made me cry .Thank you Baacmaster youve put my feelings into 3 minutes of pure joy. superamos31

[holygrail2009]

this song goes perfect with battlefield...thumbs up if u agree

[MsAppassionata]

Actually, when I hear this song I think of Truly Madly Deeply, but that's just me.

[soladetenis]

The Walking Dead

[pezogelin1]

walking dead siker

[PampersPete]

Awesome song, Joe!

[buddyfan1959]

this was the song being playd when Ron Kray shot George Cornell in the Blind Beggar pub in Whitechapel, Ironic?

love the walkers <3

[57highland]

@buddyfan1959 Yes, and Ron said he thought so too (i.e., ironic), because he knew that Cornell would not see the sun shine anymore. (Did you see the film "The Krays" featuring the Kemp Brothers (Spandue Ballet) as Reg and Ron Kray?

[buddyfan1959]

@57highland yep, i did its classic film but they have got some details wrong but its for enterainment :)

it was a good film

[57highland]

@buddyfan1959 Yes, like for example, Ron killed Cornell in 1966 and Reg killed Jack the Hat in 1969, and in the film they had it happening on the same night, instead of 3 years apart.

[buddyfan1959]

@57highland yep! and at the end of the film, they have the twins by the mums graveside but they werent allowed to go there as they could of got away of something i read! but however, i ecoment tht film

i reallyy like the Krays :)

[57highland]

@buddyfan1959 Yeh and Cornell was pretty funny before he got offed, telling Richardson Bros they must do something bout "Kray! Kray! Kray! Kray! They're just a bunch o' movie-star gangsters! Only worried 'bout how they look!" Then Cornell goes out for a night on the town to a pub in Kray's patch, just days after one of Kray's best guys got killed by Richardsons in a shoot-out, Cornell strolls into a pub in the Kray patch. He had a death wish apparently, said Ron.

[buddyfan1959]

@57highland yehh lol i heard about that ron did say he had a death wish, do u like the krays or don't you? i agree what they did was bad but they only did it to there own kind, (never touched women or kids) and the pepple they killed were ones who had threatened to kill em

30 years was too much i think, looking inn todays society like paedos only getting 4 yeard for touching kids! its a disgrace!

[57highland]

@buddyfan1959 Yeh, I like the Krays. UR right, they were criminals but if left alone, decent chaps. Tell you what, tho, if I'd been in London then, I would of liked the Krays from a distance, U know? Not get too close. Yeh, 30 yrs was too much, but it must of been they wanted to make them an example, & I've heard that the cop & courts in UK can be real bastards. Too bad for Reg & Ron. I never knew they didn't let them out for mum's funeral: a very sad scene in the film, mum gone & boys in prison

[buddyfan1959]

@57highland yehh that is true and m grandad could of gone with the richardsons but he didnt which was good news and i would of kept a distance ;) and yeh i guess about the 30yrs

and they were let out for the church procedure but not at the cemetery so they never got the real proper send of for their mum like the film suggests but they had to end it like tht to show sympathy i guess :)

[TheKennyKennyKenny]

Love this song!!!! Thanks for sharing Joe, u r the best!!!!!!

[kolli1669]

zombie at 1:42

[maxisussex]

I LOVED the walking dead but knew bout this song for years. And i dont even remember this from the show lol =D

[InsaneJediGirl]

@maxisussex It was in a trailer for the show

[MsJune54]

a great classic.....thank you so much for this video.......

[WhoFartedInHere34]

This reminds me a lot of Fallout 3

[goose9100]

the walker the walking dead wierd its fate this song belongs in the walking dead

[zanezanezaneouvre]

fuck the walking dead

[RabbitPunching]

@zanezanezaneouvre no my friend, da walkin dead will f-ck you.

[h0bica]

The walking dead brothers xD

[chrisnygonzo121809]

the walking dead best tv show ever!!!!

[Nevermore1953]

@hidoll22 Yes, you may. It reminds me of the trials and tribulations of my and my friends' teenage years in the mid- to late 60's. The cold war, the Vietnam war, for a lot of us the sun didn't shine anymore nor did the moon rise. We seemed to be a lost generation even though today they call us baby boomers. LOL!!! This song was one one of a few that I and the people I hung out with could relate to in the days.

[hidoll22]

Very touching song

[wordy1979]

It might just happen one day! ARRRRRHHHHHH.

[wordy1979]

THE WALKING DEAD FOREVER!!!!!

[DarkspiderDavid]

Funny they're called The WALKER brothers.......

Darrel: "Its the brains...."

[Marz916]

I'm a bit disappointed this song never did play in the show... Yet.. It's usually always like that with music in trailers though.

[bze2nlz1]

This and 'Make It Easy On Yourself.' Most beautiful 'sad' songs of the 60's.

[MsEdwardBryan]

Shit.. almost a year until The Walking Dead returns.. *tear*

[xdegenerate18]

@OmarDelfinity This song was in the comic con trailer for The Walking Dead.

[Fartingbellybutton]

I thought this was the Righteous Brothers.

[hidoll22]

@Fartingbellybutton It does sound like them :-) this song makes me want to cry

[crab4cake]

Kinda makes you think of zombies..............

[Kazuma8462]

@OmarDelfinity Because it was used in one of the Trailers for that Series, that is how I discovered it Lol.

[Nevermore1953]

This just took me back almost 50 years. Love it!!!!

[hidoll22]

@Nevermore1953 may I ask what does it remind u of :-)

[mckfrr]

I cried when this song played during the trailer of the Walking Dead, it's such a sad movie, and this song fits perfectfully at the right moment.

[supermax1998]

@mckfrr The Walking Dead isn't a movie, but okay.

[hidoll22]

@mckfrr True

[bavuz6]

god yeah...that trailer of the walking dead with this song, where the guy escapes into a tank with thousands of zombies surrounding him....just wow

somehow this song suits that scene very well

[Tonithenightowl]

One of the best songs of all time. Ethereal.

[TEXA5TATE]

awesome.

[sirlovemehard]

Well Walking Dead fans, its almost time! ENJOY! X)

[bbbraziliangrrl]

This "Wall of Sound" effect of Phil Spector's has been used by many other artists as well, Righteous Bros have already been mentioned, but think about the beginning to the Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby" and it sounds a lot like this song! Walker Brothers were the best of the bunch!

[kikomiko1]

Perfect song to kill zombies to.

[sgtpepper1138]

it's funny, this has a very Phil Spector wall of sound to it. But it wasn't produced by him.

[achatscheibe]

phantastisch

[WingsONE]

wow these pictures are extremely depressing

[Gavin6996]

@WingsONE 

[astra4488]

"the little bits featuring karyl mann" have done the best cover and version of this classic.

[DemonWarp65]

Whenever I think of this song, I will now and forever think of the earth being overrun by the walking dead.

[trylonperisphere]

The Walking Dead Brothers?

[TheFingledorf]

@trylonperisphere: Ha ha ha... :)

[TheDavidjoy]

@trylonperisphere Some people have no respect!

[byronrush1]

Thumbs up if walking dead brought you here.

[fxcamera1]

@byronrush1 LOL, that sounds rather ominous!

[gabeo09]

walking dead yeah

[MADHater01]

THE WALKING DEAD! I can't wait till the series premieres!!!1

[freddurobin]

@MADHater01

LOL!

After watching the trailer I was looking for this song, too.

Zombies rule! ;)

[cbeckerm]

great song,,,,, of trailer the walking dead

[magnusmastah]

(Psssst... Walking Dead trailer) xD :P

But seriously this is an amazing song. I became so obsessed with it over the weekend I put it on my phone and crank it on the truck stereo at random intervals hahaha

[SvendBosanvovski]

When I was a wee lad I had a few Walker Brothers 45s, including this gem. Scott also released a solo single of the beautiful love ballad "Joanna (I can't forget the one they called Joanna)". I have checked through Scott's available catalogue, but can't find it. Does anyone know where I can get a recording of it?

[MrFUCICA]

If you like this song, you HAVE to listen to Croatian cover of this song: It's called  ''Dorian Gray - Sjaj u tami''. It was made in the 80's, but it's still a classic, it has a bit different sound, but it's one of the rare covers which are coming close to original. Enjoy!

[sageofpassaic]

Hadn't heard this in years, and I didn't know till now that I really missed it!

[RhapsodyBaby]

Joe,

These old songs and your videos - they touch my heart.

[artuvaas]

A mellow, sensitive song. No musical

group captured the lonely, melancholy

angst that most of us feel at times. The

ineffectual Barry Manilow tried to do it,

"Tears for Fears" did a better job. Only the

Four Tops: "Just Ask the Lonely" and

the Walker Brothers were able-through song-to convey the feelings of

disillusioned listeners who were never

quite understood in a world that prefers

flash over substance-

[byronrush1]

@artuvaas I would add Roy Orbison to that list. King of the melancholy wailers.

[MADHater01]

@artuvaas Very well said!

[DemonWarp65]

@artuvaas I thought the Righteous Brothers did a good job of expressing those feelings through song too.

[vespa202]

A Perfect song :))

[anitashelby]

Iv'e Always Loved This Song by The Walker Brothers!!! In Fact, I Love All Of Their Songs! I Absolutely Love You're Vids!!! 5*s Thankyou....Anita..
