Supertramp ~ It’s Raining Again (1982)

“It’s Raining Again“ is a song recorded by the English progressive rock band Supertramp and released as a single from their 1982 album …Famous Last Words… with credits given to Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, although as indicated on the album sleeve, it is a Hodgson composition. The end of the song incorporates the old nursery rhyme “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring“. The song debuted at No. 31 on 30 October 1982 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the second highest debut on that chart for all of 1982 (bested only by “Ebony and Ivory“ at No. 29 on 10 April 1982), but it only peaked at No. 11, making it one of the few songs to enter the chart in the Top 40 but not reach the Top 10. The record was a big success on the European charts, reaching the top 10 in Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, and Switzerland, and No. 1 in France. This was the group’s last top 40 hit on the United Kingdom singles chart. (Wikipedia) (Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use“ for purposes such
