Walker, Scott - Ain't No Sunshine Lyrics

G_d I need to buy this on vinyl.

Anyone who thinks this sounds better than the Bill Wither's version of this song needs to have their hearing checked.

His voice brought sunshine into my life🌞 RIP Scott💔

Brilliant version. 🎤🎧🎼👀❤️

pretty fucking dull if you ask me.

the best versión of Bill whiters hit.

Hmmmm...I have been trying to like Scott Walker but realistically for me I just don't think it is possible. This cut for example is all bloated production and vapid strings it just sounds like Las Vegas on quaaludes to me. I am not saying that he didn't have merit just that I just don't get the hype. To each his own but this is just not my cup of tea. Cheers.

Aint No Sunshine now you have gone darling Scott .. but your musical genius will live on FOREVER ! x

Read that he was not thrilled to do "cover" versions, but his label insisted.

Just great 👍 Bravo 👏 Scott Walker

beautiful...

PK 💝 CE

Love it! I think Scott was channeling Isaac Hayes on this recording. Scott walker has the kind of singing voice I wish i had.

Scott Walker could sing the phone book and make it sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahahahahaha I agree with you.

Lynne fox. lol😁 he can come and sing my phone book anytime💜

@purplefee Mine also x

best version ever

🎧🎼🎵🎶📚🎸🎸🎸🎸

A bill withers song

TOP cover!

Great upload Guida dearest!

So many awesome songs by Scott Walker hard to pick one fave

Outstanding cover.

It may seem sacrilegious, but damn I like this more than Bill Withers'!

ME TOO !

me too... it's amazing... love him!

No just good taste'

This beats the original hands down. It's just so classy.

supeeeeeeeer!

Even if he migrated, he made great moves. He knows his voice. He knows music.

Who did the guitar solo at the end here?

GODDAMN! SCOTT......

if my soul could sing....itd sound like this....

Hmmm. It's got an "Old Man's Back Again" vibe.

25 times I know

@splankhna he is better live but he is a little too commercial to be compared to walker- id still say Nick Caves ballads has a feel closer to Walkers odd" darkness"- i like Ashcroft but thats its it- Walker and Cave are something more

A great voice. I've knew him with the album Tilt, so his voice ha changed from this song., but I like it

@MisAnnThorpe i like ashcroft but his solo stuff has the most bloated production- and i love big production but his just comes as bland as do some of his simpleton lyrics- i guess i just feel ashcroft has a great voice but doesnt use it to its full potential with simplistic songs and weak lyrics-more so on recent albums- walker just has a depth and sublime quality that makes "mad richard" look tame and ordinary- id actually say nick cave is our generations walker- to me he gets the balance right

@salvadory It's funny because I'd never even thought of Richard Ashcroft as being Scott Walker influenced but now that you mention it I could very easily imagine Walker singing Lucky man & in fairness to Ashcroft he would have to go some way to better it. Come to think of it could also imagine him singing The drugs don't work, & maybe Bittersweet symphony & Sonnet. Oh btw, I'm sure you really wanted to know that Valerie was originally written & recorded by The Zutons. Crap name for a crap band.

@MisAnnThorpe oh i agree i still prefer whithers version but this a great version in its own right- the late amy winehouse was very good- walker is sublime genius

@salvadory Sometimes covers are vastly superior to the original. A good example is Amy Winehouse's version of Valerie. Regardless of whether that improvement was mainly due to Mark Ronson or not the original, which I can't remember for sure who it was even by, (possibly The Fratellis?) was noteworthy only because of its utter ordinariness. I was absolutely amazed when I first heard Winehouse's version and I'm not even a fan of hers.

what poor richard ashcroft tries to do but always comes off as simple minded and vapid compared to walkers genius arrangements and performances that manages to be memorable without selling out to typical pop or rock standards! While the whithers original is the best this is as good as a cover gets and has walkers stamp all over it!

is this version on cd

always had a stunning voice

@hunkydory56 I'm afraid I'm a bit pressed for time these days, but I will certainly try! :)
