"I Wish It Would Rain" by the Temptations.

This was the second song of a Trilogy written by Rodger Penzabene, written about the stages of a failed relationship.

The first was "You're My Everything", the third was "I Could Never Love Another After Loving You". As "I Wish It Would Rain" was bounding up the charts, Rodger Penzabene committed suicide at the age of 23. Sad. Too bad "Only The Strong Survive" by Jerry Butler didn't come out before all that happened.


Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

Walking In The Rain With The One I Love-Love Unlimited #14 Hot 100 #7 Cash Box

Besides the voice of Producer Barry White being on the recording, there is the authentic sound of a rotary dial dialing a phone, and then the sounds of the mechanical switching and the old Bell Telephone large city exchange ring tone.

"Don't Let The Rain Fall Down On Me" by The Critters. #39 Hot 100 1967.

The Critters included Don Ciccone, later of The Four Seasons and Tommy James. Also Jim Ryan, who was a longtime guitarist with Carly Simon. At a performance with "The Hit Men", he told the story of how Warren Beatty came to the backstage entrance of a Carly Simon performance demanding to see Carly. Jim Ryan didn't recognize Warren in his civvies and wearing thick glasses, and told him to get lost. Carly was happy that he stood up to him and told Jim Ryan that Beatty deserved not being recognized.

The Critters are from Plainfield, NJ. So are George Clinton/Parliaments/Parliament/Funkadelic originally.

If we're talking "I Can't Stand The Rain", we should recognize Ann Peebles' original version of the song. It features the one of the most original hooks of that year.

We can also mention "It Might As Well Rain Until September" by Carole King from 1962, her first hit.

"Rainy Day People" by Gordon Lightfoot, "Soldier In The Rain" by England Dan and John Ford Coley, and "Rainy Night In Georgia" by Brook Benton are others to include.

Sugar Town-Remake by Zooey Descahanel. Original by Nancy Sinatra. Zooey did a good job with it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q0NdYtQBg0

Yesterday in rained in Tennessee,
I heard it also rained in Tallahassee,
But not a drop fell on little old me,
Cause I was in shoo shoo shoo,
Shoo shoo shoo,
Shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo,
Sugar Town.
