The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine After the Lights Go Out

The Walker Brothers were an American pop group of the 1960s and 1970s, comprising Scott Engel, John Walker, and Gary Leeds. After moving to Britain in 1965, they had a number of top ten albums and singles there, including the No. 1 chart hits “Make It Easy on Yourself” and “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore),” both of which also made the US top 20.

Formed in 1964, they adopted the ‘Walker Brothers’ name even though the members are all unrelated as a show business touch—”simply because we liked it.” They provided a unique counterpoint to the British Invasion in that they were a group from the United States that achieved much more success in the United Kingdom than in their home country, during the period when British bands dominated the US.
