Ann Peebles wrote it and sang it, and there is no better. I love this song. I've heard other versions. Humble Pie is a close second. They do justice to her original.

[@geffcassuto]

toots version is great

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

Never knew Humble Pie did it, but Eruption charted with it in '78. When was Humble Pie's version?

[@jerryjones188]

@@TheBrooklynbodine Not sure on HP's version. But possibly earlier than Eruption's that I never heard. I was listening to Humble Pie in 1971-72, but just don't know when they did "Rain".

I loved this song on first hearing it back in 1973, still got the 45rpm. A classic song and what a singer.

[@karldownie3678]

Amazing classic first heard it in 2017 when I was 22!

[@MrsTiffanyMartinez]

Vinyl✊🏽! I'm ordering her album just for this song 🎵 *I Can't Stand The Rain* Lady Day aka Billie Holiday makes me cry in general but Ann version of this song, has my soul shook! I went outside today to take some pictures of the front yard after being inside for quite some time. I had forgotten it had rained 🌧, living in the desert 🏜 and my husband recently passed away. I noticed that there patches of "grass" on the yard where it's usually dirt/sand. My initial thoughts were literally, "I can't STAND the rain!" 🙄 Heading back into the house the intro if this song wouldn't leave my head. I didn't know who wrote it, sung it etc. Then I looked it up and listened to the lyrics and my soul was shook! Just cried...the angry cry when you're mad and don't know why you're mad. Then I added the album to 🛒. Anyway, *something positive* ✨ I'm happy she's (Ann) is alive and still married to the same person/didn't let the business ruin her/them♡.

[@pbenson56fran]

Wow you have the 45? I don't remember the until Tina sung it. I came upon it in my feed. I like it in the style of R&B, Funk, and Blues. Very nice vibe
