I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine

[drjohncarpenter]

Of course, I Don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine really is really the best Al Jolson record never recorded. No doubt, if Jolson hadn't passed away in the autumn of 1950, he would have got his hands on the number and his version would probably have been the definitive rendition.

Had he lived longer, imagine what Al Jolson could have done with "That's All Right" or "Milkcow Blues Boogie."

Well I hope you start face-slapping every time your buddy fn2drive makes a typo. It might knock you out.

Our 1991 CD reissue from Capitol had the song as a bonus track.

Thanks, mine is the 2005 Collector's Choice issue with I'd Gladly make the Same Mistake Again, Three Wishes, Have a Little Sympathy, and Under the Bridges of Paris added on the end.

If you can't see the heavy influence of Al Jolson on the song, then that's unfortunate.

Can you hear Hawaiian music in it like" I'll Never Let You Go"? If not, you're very mistaken that Jolson would have recorded the definitive version.

An odd selection, to say the least. Not one Dixieland-flavored track in that group!

The suggestion that someone provided percussion on Elvis' recording of "I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine" is very easy to believe.

It's Buddy Cunningham indeed, according to "Aboard The Mystery Train" by Scotty Moore and James L. Dickerson:
