<ul><li>Eddie Rabbitt was a country singer and songwriter, but this was a huge crossover hit, going to #1 on the Pop, Adult Contemporary and Country charts. The song is about the peaceful and cleansing feeling a thunderstorm can bring.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.songfacts.com/facts/eddie-rabbitt/i-love-a-rainy-night#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">&gt;&gt;</a></li><li>According to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0823076776/songfacts02-20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><em>The Billboard Book of #1 Hits</em></a>, Rabbitt first got the idea for the song in the '60s when he was sitting in his small apartment on a rainy night. He sang, "I love a rainy night, I love a rainy night" into a tape recorder, but didn't complete the song until 1980, when he discovered the tape in his basement. He finished the song with the help of fellow songwriters Even Stevens and David Malloy.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.songfacts.com/facts/eddie-rabbitt/i-love-a-rainy-night" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.songfacts.com/facts/eddie-rabbitt/i-love-a-rainy-night</a></p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for listening and your lovely comments friends. :)</p>
