The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore | No Regrets
My Ship is Coming In | Make it Easy on Yourself
They weren't brothers, and they weren't even called Walker, but the Walker Brothers were a huge part of the soundtrack to the Sixties, writes Melody Rousseau.
At the end of this month (February 2009), John Walker, one of the original members of the chart-topping group joins the Solid Silver Sixties tour, playing venues all over the UK until the last week of May.
John formed “The Walker Brothers” which became the most successful house band in Hollywood, playing six nights a week at the famed Gazzari’s – attracting lines of people winding around the block each night. It seemed that John Walker had done it all by the time he was 21…..then came England, and more.
Prompted by an invitation and curiosity, John and his two Walker “brothers” flew to London in February 1964 to check out the rock scene. Little did they know that within a year, the three good looking Americans would be household names in England, Europe and Asia – charting with hits like “Love Her”, “My Ship Is Comin’ In”, “No Regrets”, and going to number one with “Make It Easy” and “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore”.
World tours, thousands of frenzied and admiring fans, magazine covers and fashion shoots, concerts attended by the royal family, a series of chart topping hits, record sales in excess of 23 million – John and his Walker Brothers were embraced and beloved, and made the UK and Europe their new home. Today, John’s fans – old and new - fill the concert halls to hear him perform Walker Brothers’ classics, his own songs, and songs by his own favourite artists. |
