"Sunshine and Rain" is a song written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and recorded by American recording artist Alexander O'Neal. It is the sixth and final single from the singer's second solo album, Hearsay (1987). Following the successful chart performances of the Hearsay singles "Fake", "Criticize", "Never Knew Love Like This", and "The Lovers", and "(What Can I Say) To Make You Love Me", "Sunshine and Rain" was released as the album's sixth single, but it was the album's poorest selling single, peaking at #72 in the UK. The song had been performed live prior to the song's release with Level 42 at the Prince's Trust Gala on 25 July 1989. The song's title and time was edited for release as a single, with the album version being titled "Sunshine", and was just under a minute longer.
