"I Don't Care If the Sun Don't Shine" is a popularsong written by Mack David. It was originally written for the Disney animated feature Cinderella, but was not used in the final print.[1] The most popular version was recorded by Patti Page in 1950. The Page recording was issued by Mercury Records as catalog number 5396, and first reached the Billboard chart on May 20, 1950, lasting nine weeks and peaking at number 8. It was her first Top 10 hit.[2] She recorded the song again in 1959 for her album, I'll Remember April.
The song was one of the first 19 recordings by Elvis Presley for Sun Records. In 1954, "I Don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine" was the second Sun Records release by Presley, along with "Good Rocking Tonight" on the A-side. He recorded it in mid-September 1954, and the single was released on September 25.[3]
