The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore - Bruce Springsteen - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Bruce Springsteen paid tribute to the classic soul and R&B artists who made him on his 2022 covers album Only the Strong Survive, his second cover album following the folk-led We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions (2006). Created during lockdown at his home studio with producer Ron Aniello and engineer Rob Lebret, the album—which features two duets with Sam Moore of R&B legends Sam & Dave ("Soul Days" and "I Forgot to be Your Lover")—shows a different side to Bruce Springsteen, away from the stone-washed denim and flannels of classic American rock and more towards Stax and Motown records. Sticking faithfully to the original arrangement, his rich voice comes through on this rendition of The Walker Brothers' 1966 corker "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" (originally released by former teen star Frankie Valli in 1965) bringing the right amount of grit and drama to a rousing baroque pop showstopper.
