The Rains Came (ain't that the truth!) Sir Douglas Quintet
The Day That The Rains Came Down, Helen Shapiro (amazing voice for a 15 year old!)

Oh, Brooke Benton, Rainy Night in Georgia: Right singer, right guitar player, right song, right time. I can lose myself in that recording. Absolutely beautiful. -- one of the best records ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd Helen Shapiro -- what a great voice.
The other songs are great, too.
Great Friday Night Music post.
Thanks husband :)

ReplyDeleteAnd, in the interest of unambiguinity. It's raining here.
ReplyDeleteNah, it couldn't be.

Weather in Portland is, uh, "seasonal". Finally. Had a weird winter, especially December which was cold and crystal clear.
ReplyDeleteWhen it was cold in Seattle, it was crystal clear. It always reminded me why I moved there to begin with.
