Recording information by HugsieGOLD

A short stroll down Memory Lane and we find this song ....by Johnnie Ray
It has an interesting history ....
If you listen ....I Thank you


"Walking in the Rain" is a popular song. It was written in 1952 by Johnny Bragg and Robert Riley, two prisoners at Tennessee State Prison in Nashville, after a comment made by Bragg as the pair crossed the courtyard while it was raining. Bragg allegedly said, "Here we are just walking in the rain, and wondering what the girls are doing." Riley suggested that this would make a good basis for a song, and within a few minutes, Bragg had composed two verses. However, because Bragg was unable to read and write, he asked Riley to write the lyrics down in exchange for being credited as one of the song's writers.

Bragg and his band, The Prisonaires, later recorded the song for Sun Records and it became a hit on the R&B chart in 1953. However, the best-known version of the song was recorded by Johnnie Ray in 1956, and reached #2 on the US Billboard 100, and #1 on the UK Singles Chart.

Happy go lucky song and the whistle is just perfect with it. I'm enjoying your version of the song, Hugsie! I remember when this song was the top of the list. Johnny Ray was great. Very nice sing on your part.

AlRichard my favorite way of expressing myself: in music and song.

A lovely old song you, dating back to 1952, at the risk of giving away my age, i remember when it first came out, was very popular back then, you sing it beautifully Hugh, a great family picture on the monitor, maybe Grandparents? Thanks for the memories my friend.. Al
