Sunshine on a Rainy Day

"Sunshine on a Rainy Day" is a 1990 single released by British female pop singer and songwriter Zoë.

The song was originally released at the end of 1990, when it only managed to reach #53 on the UK Singles Chart. It was not until the remix by Youth in August 1991, that it hit #4 on the same chart and became her biggest hit to date. The track was used in UK advertisements for the Amiga 500 computer adding to its popularity. It was the 18th best-selling single of 1991, outselling many number ones and twos in the year-end chart.

Zoë re-recorded the song in 2008 with her folk band Mama. This version is available on their debut cd, Crow Coyote Buffalo.
