Quiz Time
It’s raining its pouring – raindrops are falling on my head. Oh I hear laughter in the rain walking hand in hand with the one I love. I Listen to the mandolin rain, listen to the music on the lake, it’s raining again, oh no will my heart ever mend. Here comes the rain again falling on my head like a new emotion, but rainy days and Mondays always get me down. I love a rainy night as red rain is falling down all over me but I only want to see you standing in the purple rain...It never rains in Southern California, boy don’t they warn you, it pours, man it pours...Who’ll stop the rain? I’ve seen fire, and I’ve seen rain, I’ve seen sunny days I thought would never end, but somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you really dare to dream come true! So never mind the darkness we still can find a way 'cause nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain.
Can anyone tell me all the rain songs here and who they are by?

Thanks, that was good fun!
Wow, Excellent Jo-Anne! That is correct.
The only one subtly would be that in Jose Feliciano's "Listen to the Falling Rain", he 'samples' the song lyrics of the english nursury rhyme. I's a great song, I'm sure you've heard.

Very interesting/entertaining. Surprised you didn't include Buddy's 'Raining in My Heart', Dave.
Ah..Good Call! You mean "Raining In My Heart", Buddy Holly (1959)
Oh misery, misereeee what's going to become of me- e- ee, I tell my blues they musn’t show but soon these tears are bound to flow, cause it’s raining in my heart

I enjoyed the "Listen to the Falling Rain" song and don't recall ever hearing it before. Thanks for the link. I really enjoyed the song so looked up Jose Feliciano's biograpy and discovered that by the time he was 23, he had earned five Grammy nominations and won two Grammy Awards for his album "Feliciano!”. Do you have that album Dave?
I do not have that, but if you ever like any artist, i strongly recommend following up.
You can often borrow CDs at your local library, or start with a "Greatest Hits" package.
I will post a 'Guide to Leraning about Music" post in the near future. I just have not gotten to it yet.
