For my 2nd song of this Saturday afternoon's Music Interlude I chose a song by the late Dan Fogelberg titled "Rhythm of The Rain"
About Dan Fogelberg:
Daniel Grayling "Dan" Fogelberg (August 13, 1951 – December 16, 2007) was an American singer-songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, whose music was inspired by sources as diverse as folk, pop, rock, classical, jazz, and bluegrass. He is best known for his 1980 hit "Longer" and his 1981 hit "Leader of the Band".
LYRICS:
Dan Fogelberg - "Rhythm Of The Rain"
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Now the only girl I've ever loved has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
Little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Oh the only girl I've ever loved has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
Little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
And rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
Oh I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
When the rain comes
They run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
When the rain comes
Written by: JOHN C. GUMMOE
Enjoy my Brothers and Sisters!

I remember a group called "The Cascades" one of whose member John Claude Gummoe had actually written and the song was released in 1962. In march 1963 is made the number one record on the charts. Shown here is the record jacket for that 45 RPM hit record. I still have a couple records with the song on it and listening to them on the radio in 1962-63. The original version by the Cascades is My favorite.

I remembered the song, but not the Cascades... I had all but forgotten them... The song, however, is great!
