"Sunshine After the Rain" is a song originally written and recorded by Ellie Greenwich in 1968, titled as "The Sunshine After the Rain" and released on her album Composes, Produces and Sings. It was covered by Elkie Brooks in 1977 and Berri in 1994.

Brooks' version was released as a single in 1977 and reached number 10 in the UK Singles Chart. The song appears as the fourth track on her 1977 album Two Days Away.

In 1994, English singer Berri recorded her version. It contains an interpolation of "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer.

"Sunshine After the Rain" was released twice. In its first release, it was credited as New Atlantic/U4EA featuring Berri, and reached number 26 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1994. A re-release fared even better, peaking at number 4 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1995, this time credited solely as Berri.

In 1995, DJ Paul Elstak produced a happy hardcore track titled "Rainbow in the Sky". The "K&A Blast" versions very closely resembled the Berri version of "Sunshine After the Rain". "Rainbow in the Sky" was released in the UK on 12" vinyl and CD. The "Rainbow in the Sky" CD single also contained Paul Elstak's single, "Luv U More".
