Painting the Clouds with Sunshine is a popular song published in 1929. The music was written by Joe Burke and the lyrics by Al Dubin for the 1929 musical film Gold Diggers of Broadway when it was sung by Nick Lucas. Gold Diggers of Broadway is a partially lost film, and the scene featuring the song is one of the only surviving scenes of the movie.
The 1951 film Painting the Clouds with Sunshine, a remake of Gold Diggers of Broadway, is named after the song, and features Dennis Morgan and Lucille Norman singing it. The song enjoyed fresh popularity following the release of the film.
Most recently the song was featured in the Netflix Original Jupiters Legacy. The version featured was the one recorded by Jean Goldkette.
