Jane Morgan - The Day The Rains Came Down - 1958

[@jagpitt17]

I was 9 years old when this song came out and was obsessed with it. It was many years before I would hear it again. And now I can hear it again and again. Thank you!

[@DavidSelley49]

I was 9 too Jeff, this is the first song that really made an impression on me and it's still very special 64 years later!!

[@MegaStig25]

It's a song that insists and commands a hearing

[@SuzanneParker-uv1jy]

I was 10 when this came out and when it was pouring down today it came back into my head 66 years later xx

[@gregbader3041]

It’s August 2023 in Eugene Oregon and we’re filled with smoke in the sky and temps around 90°. This song gives me hope.

[@73MarkIV]

Simply perfect. I loved this song as a child, heard it again 30 years ago, and kept looking on KZbin, but never thinking I would actually find it! Thank you for posting it. Another one of the forgotten songs of the era. Miss Morgans is flawless.

[@julietcunningham852]

This is by French singer-songwriter Gilbert Bécaud. My favorite song of his is "Mes Mains". He also wrote an opera (L'Opéra d'Aran") that ran for 100 performances in Paris, a Christmas cantata ("L'Enfant à l'étoile), on which he is, by contract, the principal soloist, and the big song from the remake of "The Jazz Singer".

[@unclealand]

Strong, clear, true, and boring as hell.

[@Zuringa]

To this day, she has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard and I first heard her in 1958 when I was 2 years old! I used to play her album all the time.

[@melbourne1945]

Jane Morgan never got her due. She had one of the greatest voices ever. She was also a flawless and very poised performer, to say nothing of her beauty. An all- around triple threat.

[@murph3001]

You are correct my friend

[@jamescity1160]

This song reminds me of happier times-my childhood in the 90's. Thanks for the posting. God Bless you.

[@colinwaines2094]

Great song from when I was a kid of 11. Still love it now. This and many others from that era. Connie Francis, Bing, Michael Holliday, Nat King, and even Jimmy Young, etc. etc. Not forgetting Ricky Nelson and Elvis of course. Col.

[@markalson1938]

One of the most overlooked singers of the time of really true singers. She could hold her own with the best of them. I have always loved this song to bad no one does these anymore. I always feel sorry for the kids today who have never heard real music.

[@Shadepuppy]

This was my favorite of Jane Morgan's songs, although I loved many of them. Her voice is so strong, clear, true, full and beautiful. Beautiful phrasing also. Sang this song daily for years - but always hear her voice in my head and heart.

[@davidpiercy2898]

A huge hit for the lovely/talented singer and came after prior hit "Fascination"!

[@40677]

this song made me appreciate the rainy days more

[@gailbrown6133]

I've loved that song since 1958 and I was 15.

[@garyk.nedrow8302]

Jane Morgan was born into a musical family in Massachusetts and her mother, thinking Jane would pursue a career in opera, taught her French and Italian. After graduating Julliard, she performed for years in France with a society orchestra and perfected her French. This song, composed in France and titled "Le Jour Ou La Pluie Viendra," was a hit in France before Morgan sang it in English in the US, where it was a major hit again. I recommend listening to Morgan's French version of this song, which can be found here on KZbin. Her accent and diction are flawless. She was a remarkable talent.

[@lakersfanplus]

What a voice. A true professional. She moves to the front of the line of popular singers.

[@josephkane829]

It just doesn't get any better than this. Absolute singer.

[@8176morgan]

What a marvelous song, and what a marvelous singer is Jane Morgan.

[@jeanniepryor1378]

Lovely ,talented "Lady!!!"Thanks for Sharing!!! May 31 , 2024.

[@trulylovelylady]

Sung when singers really could sing. Thanks for this one!

[@stevebeschakis9775]

It's a bit before my time, but that's a beautiful melody, and her voice is perfect for the song, imho. Did I read her bio right? ...she's still with us in 2024, at 100? Wow!

[@chesterstone6529]

She celebrated her 100th birthday last month.

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

A timeless beautiful song,never tire of hearing it,as good now as it was 50 years ago !.

[@bimetsherojne233]

She had a beutiful voice, beutiful life and great man that she shared most of her life. happy at 91y now. great voice

[@aalm7966]

Her bio says they divorced in the 1980s.

[@jayturner3397]

Still with us '21

[@davidhubbert9445]

A belter of a song and Jane certainly belts this out brilliant stuff.

[@michaelbutcher3563]

This track reminds me of the very last leg of a coach holiday i had way back in 1989. We were coming back from the coach drop-off point to our home pick-up point and the driver had a programme called "Juke Box Saturday Night," on Radio Two.

[@grahamnoble5027]

first heard this song when I was fourteen ,had my first real kiss and fell in love for the first time 56 years ago,very happy memories XXX

[@michelleregis6181]

Jane Morgan, just her name brings many memories,i think i had a childhood crush of her beauty magnificient voice sparkling personality. She was one of those rare singers no one can ever duplicate, unlike the ( meltingpot) of most young female singers today, Jane was a class act in all ways😊😊🌹🌹🌹

[@philipnorris6542]

Yes she was a class act, Michelle, but it's not all bad today---we now have the sexiest woman on the planet, the one and only Rihanna.

[@withgoddess1119]

I had a crush too.

[@philipwood5284]

Oh - what a song! What a singer!! Haven't heard it for years - thanks Mum. You introduced me to some wonderful music - as did Dad. Think I'm in for a long night.......:p Thanks for this :-)

[@Sheven718]

remember it well, just a boy at the time my folks took me on holiday and it didn't stop raining typical english weather , they kept playing this over the public speaker system ha ha the rain didn't bother me ? but this song left me with a great memory to cherish ! the everly's all i have to do is dream was big that year too !

[@murph3001]

Great popular song _____ she sure sings this

[@michelmotta4339]

Fantastico. Ninguem interpretaria esta canção com tanta emoção como Jane Morgan.

[@saragarratt4397]

Brilliant......no other words needed.

[@alanoneill3065]

[@pheart2381]

Just gave a live rendition of this song to my cat at 1.15a.m. first rain for about 2 months!! Not sure my neighbour was impressed.

[@0202kja]

Brings backs so many memories

[@jeffrichardson4808]

So glad I found this! As a teenager I bought the single in 1958. On the 'B' side she sang the same song but in French 'Le Jour Ou La Pluie Viendra'. I no longer have the single but have neither forgotten the songs nor the singer. Thanks for posting.

[@gilljohnson725]

💜💜💜

[@wallylkonstanty7734]

First heard this on my 'new' transistor radio when I was a kid. Liked the song then.........and now.

[@deancarter8667]

Me too, 9 then , 66 now. 🐸

[@bx279]

One of my favorites. I also like Toni Fisher's The big hurt along with Jane Morgans The day that the rains came down. These songs bring back memories.

[@JellyFishDad1]

I used to dance to this in the 8th grade at our Friday night dances.......Thanks for posting!!!

[@regjones2283]

[@mikehudson8884]

A brilliant song performed by an amazing singer. I have always loved this song by Miss Jane Morgan.

[@robertmusacchio9409]

I was a kid many many years ago, but I too like so many who commented below, remember well this song, and esp that first line. I had no idea then who was the singer, but I never forgot her powerful wonderful voice.

Perfect. What style, and the range of her voice is striking.

[@Kolsbunken]

I've been looking for this song off and on for years. One of my childhood favorites. So happy to hear it again just now!

[@nicholasreid1836]

Please remember this is the English translation of the French language song "Le jour ou la pluie viendra" by Gilbert Becaud. Morgan also sang the French language version

[@ilsemichel3269]

We danced to that song and I was so in love !!!

[@onehungrypanda316]

Im such a youngin in my early 20s, and these songs from the 50s are incomparable...to todays trash..i'll listen to gems like this anyday

[@TheGoldensq]

Another great record from the 50s that brings back all those happy memories from so long ago

[@mazzholmes2086]

This song did really well in our UK charts. Competed against the pop artists of that time. I was in my early teens and it was a song loved by both my parents and us kids.

[@janmichaeljablonsky9847]

I love rain. I think I fully understood that love when I first heard this song when I was eight years old, sixty years ago. Toss that old umbrella, let it rain. Rain Sweet Rain.

[@clarkewi]

What a voice.

[@lonelyxstar]

The days that came down on Barbados, thank God !

Number 1 this week 50 years ago, Jan '59. Great song.

[@williamtell8253]

Why did I never notice Jane Morgan? She had a wonderful voice and sang great tubes. Up to now I only knew the German version: Am Tag als der Regen kam.

[@MegaStig25]

"The day that the rains came down2 Mother Earth smiled again Now the lilacs could bloom Now the fields could grow greener The fday that the rains came down Buds were born, love was born As the young buds will grow So our young love will grow Love, sweet love A robin sang a song of love A willow tree reached up to the heavens Asif to thank the sky above For all that rain, that welcome rain We looked across the meadowland And seemed to sense a kind of a miracle Much too deep to understand And there we were, so much in love The day that the rains came down Mountain streams swelled with pride Gone the dry river bed Gone the dust from the valley The day that the rains came down Buds were born, love was born As the young buds will grow So our young love will grow Love, sweet love Rain, sweet rain

[@lancetuffy]

Just Wonderful!

[@LoriCiani]

My parents had this record. The 45 single.

[@dave4]

My Mom N Dad had that.

[@fitzpjo]

This song was so very popular during my tour in Istanbul. I was thinking side A was "TILL" and side B was this song only in French. La jour de la plume vientra-probably misspelled but I have always liked this song and Jayne Morgan

[@RobertBrown-rx9zy]

my dad had this and played it on a wind record player bobby
