I made a compilation CD of songs with the word summer in the title. Now, I am looking to make a collection of songs with rain in the title. Why? I have no idea. Anyways, I am looking for titles with "Rain" in them. Any help would be appreciated.

Love that song ... but am not familiar with that version .... my favorite version is by Dinah Washington.
Here are some more suggestions ...
Baby the Rain Must Fall - - Glenn Yarbrough '65 (I am a big Lee Remick fan!)
Crying in the Rain - - The Everly Brothers
or you could buy Varese's 20 track "Rhythm of the Rain" ... but that wouldn't be any fun ;)

I know it has been mentioned but you got to include Dee Clark's "Raindrops" in stereo of course.

No one's mentioned my favorite 60's Texas punk song:
"Rain Rain" (My pillow's soaking wet)
by The Sir Douglas Quintet...
On Tribe Records, wasn't it?
Love that organ!

Or, verily, "Riders On The Storm".
Steve, I like Judy's version of "Come Rain Or Come Shine", but my favorite rendition is Ray Charles's thanks to The King Of Comedy.
Anyone mentioned "It's Raining Men" yet? :D
