One word that sums up this song: atmospheric. You close your eyes and you are transported to the South. You can hear the rain outside. Smell it. It’s dark outside. But you are inside from the storm and Brook’s voice and the music melts your troubles away. This is music comfort food.

[@danceshadowmoon1]

Perfectly explained!

[@TheGreatGig73]

You nailed it!

[@FuturologyTheMusical]

Another historically underrated artist. He has many hits.

[@sheilameyers152]

His voice is like a piece of butter melting on a pancake! Unforgettable sound! “It’s raining all over the world!” When it’s not raining where you are you sure feel like it!

[@ElectricBuckeye]

My dad always tells the story of when he, my future mother, my future godfather and his future wife were in Georgia for the Peach Bowl in 1979. Their bus broke down. Drunk, my dad picked up the bus mic, and broke into this song. Black, white, didn't matter. Everybody sang along as he acapella'd the whole song. RIP to my godfather Tom.

[@eljensen671]

If you've ever lived in the south you'll know it rains so hard with big fat drops, you really can believe that it's raining all over the world. Beautiful song.

[@patswanson2870]

A beautiful song written by the great Tony Joe White.

[@CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

I love Tony Joe White and this song! He was a great songwriter nobody sings his song "Poke Salad Annie" like he does!!

Yes!

[@ogmandog]

Poke Salad Annie ....badass!

[@awparadoxx]

Classic I hope you guys caught the sophistication of Mr Benton’s delivery. It is a down home southern type of bluesy ballad, but his mastery of the vocal must be appreciated. It’s rare that a recorded vocal is this rich and flawless!

[@lesleydavis5229]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@matthewmarcinko9157]

When I was a radio DJ in the Pittsburgh area, and would get the graveyard shift, this is a song I'd play a lot. "Rainy Night In Georgia" is the kind of antique song made to be played in the early hours and heard by an eclectic few. Good stuff...

[@helgar791]

My fathers favorite singer. I've always loved this song, but I also loved his duet with Dinah Washington "Baby, You've Got What It Takes".

[@andreatarvin2920]

Yes I remember that song growing up. You have good taste. Good Job.

[@sheilaholmes996]

I was going to request that duet.

[@Lovejazz01]

Oh yes indeed , I love that !

[@louisrondone1332]

Indeed! A duet of two legendary singers.

[@bradsullivan2495]

He grew up in South Carolina and like other singers, began with gospel music. Sadly, he developed spinal meningitis and died from pneumonia in 1988 at the age of 58. This song was recorded in 1970.

[@Sweetish_Jeff_]

That is so sad. I had spinal meningitis when I was 6 and almost died. I was in a coma for a week and spent a month in hospital. I’m so grateful to be alive and here with all of you.

[@bryanwhitton1784]

@@Sweetish_Jeff_ I had viral meningitis when I was about 12 years old. Started with me unconscious but awake if that makes sense. I don't remember anything that I did. The last thing I do remember is my vision was kind of like tunnel vision. I woke up a week later in the hospital and spent another couple of weeks in the hospital and missed most of the year of school. All said I fully recovered and 1 guy from school would come over every day and bring homework and stay with me and we would talk and hang out together. 55 years later he is still a very, very good friend. That is a good friend for sure.

[@donaldromesburg1902]

My brother had spinal meningitis when he was 2 , he lost 80 percent of his hearing and 95 percent of his vocals . He passed away last year due to blood clots. He was 65 . He was a fun person

This song was written by Tony Joe White, but by his own admission, perfected by Brook Benton. You can't get a higher compliment than that.

[@SaverioP]

I still get lost in this song after all these years.

[@AllThatIKnowNow]

One of the world's greatest songs!🎶🎤🙌

[@marybaillie8907]

Such a wonderful song. Brook's vocals are so pure and addictive. This was from his 1969 album Brook Benton Today. The song was written by Tony Joe White who had a hit with " Polk Salad Annie". Tony Joe had this song on his album released just before Brooks, but Brooks Benson's version was a big hit. Number 1 on the R&B charts and Number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100's chart.Tony Joe said it reminded of lonely days without love, where he played his guitar and listened to all the rainfall. Beautiful instruments help to make this song so memorable. Great trip back. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[@NoName-fx9zi]

Tony Joe White's performance of Polk Salad Annie with the Foo Fighters is really fun to watch.

[@bookreader7108]

I was born in 1952 and grew up with this wonderful music. First time I heard this song I just cried. To me it was a very sad song. Mr Benton's masterful voice was just so amazing.

[@festidious2644]

This song gets me emotional too. I've wondered when he is holding her picture to his chest if he is heartbroken over a lost love or if he is travelling home to her. He has a good number of earlier 60s songs that I also love.

[@Araconox]

Me too. Born in 1950 , and when the song came out in 1970 I was in San Diego and my father was driving us to a restaurant for dinner. Rainy Night In Georgia was on the radio , pouring rain that March night, hearing it for the very first time, and it shook me to the core. The sad lyrics resonate the terrible sadness and loneliness that he was feeling. Especially missing his girl. I still cry when its on.

[@dustyhead3126]

Conway & Sam Moore does absolutely gorgeous version of this song. Last song Conway ever recorded. They pay tribute to Brook in song

[@1369Stiles]

for anyone who is interested... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXKkkH-LeMdjh6c

[@nickimontie]

I came here to say this! Both Sam and Conway are no longer with us, as well as Brook. Wonderful song by both!

[@dustyhead3126]

@Nicki Montie I've been commenting hoping they would do Conway and Sam version. I know they like those baritone voices

[@vaughnmichael5114]

And it was heartwarming to witness the love and respect between them.

[@SJCoug1]

The Conway Sam Moore version is my favorite of this song. A bonus is the live version.

Every time I hear this song, and I hear it often. Especially on those rainy days here in Southern California. I just can't help it. I'll put it on like 10 times. And I'm right there. In that boxcar. With her picture on my chest. The violins and the harmonica literally just touch your soul. This cut is truly up there with my favorites. Timeless. Thank you Mr. Benton. May you continue to rest in peace. 🙏🏽❤️

[@reneestes6254]

Don’t you love this song and this voice?!! It’s a whole mood for sure.

[@miltonslocum8957]

Absolutely love this song! Brook Benton's voice is, as others have said, smooth as butta. Another song you'll like is It's Just a Matter of Time. Also his duet with Dinah Washington...You've Got What it Takes. He has a deep catalog of music.

[@stevenklyce3555]

It would be difficult to gauge how understated the influence of the Hammond B3 organ track throughout so much great music of the era. It’s impossible to overstate the silky soulfulness in this man’s vocals.

[@harpergras]

An all time classic that never gets old.

[@BoltManiac]

I have always adored this song. Not long ago while concentrating on 1950s music for a month I discovered much more great stuff from Mr Benton in THAT decade. 😊

[@darkwing7966]

I live in Georgia……..just imagine a cool rainy night (off and on rain), train tracks, a little wind, train tracks, many trees and street lights. Being alone after your lover left you and kicked you out…….now you are on your on with a suitcase, and wondering where life will take you next. You stowaway on a train and no one cares or sees you. But you have to keep warm, as the train heads who knows where in the middle of a mostly cloudy cold night.

[@surlechapeau]

There's a great song that came out about the same time by Clarence Carter called "Patches" . It's a song about growing up and taking care of the family. You won't be disappointed reacting to this one.

[@maha77]

this song must be savored, not consumed. It requires 100 listens before one can take a break, gather oneself, and press 'play' 100 more times

My mom played the song all throughout my childhood. The music and the vocals form a perfect blend. It's still a whole mood. Glad you chose this one.

One of the very finest singers of all time IMO, and this may be my favorite R&B song of all time. It's a perfect record...just frickin' perfect.

[@edyarb]

There are so many things going on in this song... that tremolo guitar is awesome, the twinkling piano, the cinematic strings and the lonely harmonica... everything puts you right there, on your back porch, in your rockin' chair... listenin' to the rain hit the tin roof on a rainy night in Georgia

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Brook had a deep but soft voice. Very comforting. Even though the song was about the world being a sad place if felt like everything would be okay in time.

[@johnhann5659]

This is a wonderful song, and I don't hear it often enough, so thank you for doing this. I think you would enjoy listening to the Chi-Lites. One of their great songs is "Oh, girl" I believe you will thoroughly enjoy the harmony and the message.

[@jacquelineford9765]

Well I don't know about that. The late Otis Redding comes to mind Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay and Try A Little Tenderness.

[@NoName-fx9zi]

One word describes this: CLASSY. His singing style is very comfortable within himself, he didn't feel the need to try too hard, knew exactly how to let the mood of the music carry his voicetone with it. It's almost as though he's doing this on a phone call. No singers today have the self-awareness to pull this off.

[@elainemarsh5170]

His duets with Dinah Washington are great, and well worth a listen. I’m surprised you haven’t hit Miss Washington yet. She’s an amazing vocalist and her recording of Easy Living is one of the prettiest things I’ve ever heard.

"Rainy Night in Georgia" is a song written by Tony Joe White in 1967 and popularized by R&B vocalist Brook Benton in 1970. It was originally released by White on his 1969 album, Continued, on Monument Records, shortly before Benton's hit single was issued.

[@jofoster1596]

Discovered Brook back in the 80s when Randy Crawford covered this song beautifully. Randy Crawford material would be great for you to react to. She is awesome. We named our daughter aftrr one of her hits "Almaz", hauntingly beautiful.

Ah man, Brook Benton doing a duet with Dinah Washington is the absolute best. Rocking good way and Baby you got what it takes. One of my favorite duets.You gotta give it a listen.

[@cajunsushi]

Thank you for choosing this iconic song. It’s the kind of song that you imagine driving on a rainy night and it’s drawing deep inner emotions to most just listening as the the wipers gently squeak across the windshield.

[@DJHolte]

Not sure why, but Brook Benton makes me think of another great soul singer from that era, Tyrone Davis. He had two amazing hits: "Can I Change My Mind" & "If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time" -- you'd love 'em both!

[@johncarroll9489]

One of my favorites!

[@cbreez40]

Before mr Benton died he became a minister, well he was featured at a church in Brooklyn and all the older black women of his time showed up in their Sunday's Best, they forgot all about the gospel and started screaming " Brook sing Rainy Night In Georgia" lol I guess GOD understood

[@vvcougar71]

I love this song ever since I first heard it many decades ago.

Oddly enough, this Georgian 's favorite memory of this song is me, riding in the backseat of my parent's car with them in the front seat. We're heading home on a late Saturday afternoon. The sun is out but I think it's been raining. I feel so safe. I think it was about 50 years ago. I never thought I'd be able to look back 50 years about ANYTHING.....with my ole azz. What a blessing!
