John Joseph Maus (November 12, 1943 – May 7, 2011), known professionally as John Walker, was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist, best known as the founder of the Walker Brothers, who had their greatest success in the 1960s, particularly in the United Kingdom.

Re-titled "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore", this version met with much greater success than Valli's.It topped the UK Singles Chart, [6] and also became their highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S., where it peaked at #13.

Nite Flights is the sixth and final studio album by American pop group the Walker Brothers, released in July 1978 by GTO Records.In contrast to their previous two albums, which were made up almost entirely of cover versions, Nite Flights is the group's only album to feature entirely original songs; Gary Walker contributed two while Scott Walker and John Walker each contributed four.
After the Walker Brothers split in 1967, he began a solo career with the album Scott later that year, moving toward an increasingly challenging style on late-1960s baroque pop albums such as Scott 3 and Scott 4 (both 1969). [5] [6] After sales of his solo work started to decrease, he reunited with the Walker Brothers in the mid-1970s.
The album was stylistically similar to their 1975 comeback No Regrets, matching the general musical styles of Country and Pop music and marrying them to romantic orchestral arrangements. Aside from "First Day" which was actually written by John Walker under the pseudonym A. Dayam, the album is compiled of non-original compositions.
John Walker's only new song "Remember Me" was included as the B-side to "No Regrets". The group's following album Lines did include a lone John Walker composition under a pseudonym, Scott however, would not contribute new songs until 1978's Nite Flights. No Regrets and Lines instead feature cover versions from a variety of contemporary songwriters.
