The Walker Brothers (Scott Engel, John Maus, and Gary Leeds) were an American trio that hit big in the UK from 1965-1967. At one time, their fan club was bigger than the Beatles. "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" was their second #1 hit in 1966. The enigmatic lead singer, Scott Walker, later had a very successful solo career and has been cited as influential to many British recording artists including David Bowie and Radiohead. I created this video using photos found on the internet, 45 singles I own, and photos from magazines. Enjoy!!

  • hmm wonder if Walking Dead used it because it's the Walker brothers

  • @klophe4 You are funny!! At least you know the Walker Brothers sing this song. I think a lot of people in the US thought it was the Righteous Brothers!!

  • Very good but bigger fan club than the Beatles? Presumably only when The mop tops were in decline otherwise "No chance".

    The drummer released a single which was popular but I dont think that was reflected in the sales?

  • @Kohl423 All three Walker Brothers members released singles, but Scott had the most successful solo career in the UK and Europe.

    According to documentaries and magazine articles I have read, from 1965 to 1966 the Walker Brothers had a bigger fan club than the Beatles in the UK only. The WB were big in the UK, Europe, and Japan and were not very popular in the US even though they were American. The Beatles were able to conquer America and that made a big difference.

  • Too bad I was born in 1986. I wish I could wake up and it would be 1966. The beautiful melody and lyrics, not to mention their perfect harmony, make this one of the best songs from the 60s!

  • @fab4fan4ever64 same thing i could say to you!

  • @Anakin8529 Thanks for the info. Hello to a fellow Walker Brothers AND Walking Dead fan !!

  • @fab4fan4ever64 the song was in the trailer for the walking dead, not any episodes

  • @Anakin8529 Which episode was that?

  • for one person the sun definately wont shine ,,,,,,,

  • I've been searching for this song for years!!Finally!!Love it!!!

  • @Marcus70815 They all changed their surname to 'Walker' eventually!

  • The "Walker Brothers" consisted of Scott Engel, Gary Leeds, and John Maus. So they weren't even brothers.

  • it's so wierd the Walker Brothers did the song to the show The Walking Dead
