Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore – Walker Brothers cover

Here’s a wonderful downer classic from The Walker Brothers. Written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio and first done by Frankie Valli. I composed and recorded this track in Garageband on an iPad that I borrowed from a pal. The video was shot on an iPhone 4s that has been banging around in my suitcase for the past 2.5 years. I thought I lost it in Australia. All kinds of stuff in there. I use the tools around me to make art. I ❀️ art and I ❀️ y’all!

Many thanks to my friends at LEWITT
for the great DGT 650 USB microphone. It’s a wall of sound!

    Ahhhhh….so beautiful! Just when I forget all the old classics from my younger years, you pull them out & dust them off! I love the video behind you, the echo of the multiple tracks…loved it all! Sounded so ’60’s classic! Keep doing what yer doin’ Puddles! Your voice still soothes my soul <3ο»Ώ

    I love your voice and I’m glad you were on AGT. I listen to you everyday on YouTube, you are truly talented. Would please do On my Own (Patti LaBelle) and perhaps Unchained Melody.

    oh Puddles… let us rage against the dying of the light :’-(

    Art is all heart, life itself really. That’s what I sense when I listen to your songs. Like someone (named Thorton Dial) said: “Art is something to open your eyes. Art is for understanding.”

    Tour more Puddles. I know that after AGT you might be thinking that you are not good enough, but the reality is that “Puddles” is too big for that show. People can not ‘get’ Puddles from just singing a song. Puddles is too large of a concept, too large of an experience, too large of a talent to be stuffed into a couple of moments on a stage.
    Tour more Puddles, your fan base is larger than you think and we would love to see you in person.

    Great version. Would love to hear Broken Hearted Me – maybe a slow piano or trio vocal version.

    Wow Puddles! Just like velvet. Perfect rendition. Goose Bumps! Thanks so much for sharing.

    Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliot are top lyrical geniuses. Challenge you to keep up and throw down a new track.

    You certainly captured the spirit of this song. – -A song I haven’t heard for many years that brought back many fond memories! You sir are ( I don’t care what Simon says) a STAR ! Please don’t be discouraged. You have a gift! Please share it Please! WE need you! I ABSOLUTELY love your taste in music and your shtick! You sir are an artistic genius! I wish there were more Puddles in the world. Really.

    Wow. Fantastic.
    I wonder if you could put your style on tracks of my tears, Smokey Robinson?

    The “wall of sound” mic + ‘verb + double-track is fantastic! The way your vocal tracks harmonize on this song tickled the hole in my soul. . . Thank you!
