"Walking on Sunshine" is a song by Eddy Grant, originally released as a single and the title track of his 1979 album Walking on Sunshine. Grant's original version was not a hit, but the song was remade three years later by Rockers Revenge, a studio project assembled by producer Arthur Baker. The single, with vocals by Donnie Calvin, was number one on the Hot Dance Club Play charts for one week.[1] The single did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but did peak at number sixty-three on the Hot Black Singles chart.[2] It also reached number 4 on the UK Singles Chart.[3] The song's bassline would later be sampled in Eleanor's 1988 song "Adventure", itself a number-one Dance Club Play hit in 1988.
