I was embarrassed that I didn't know the (fantastic) Humble Pie cover that I grew up listening to WAS a cover version until I visited the Rock and Soul Museum in Memphis about ten years ago.

Love that one, too! Thanks for mentioning it.😀

and “Who’ll Stop the Rain”

By my all-time favorite band, The Sweet! They should've been up there with Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple in the pantheon of heavy British rockers, but their earlier genesis as a bubblegum hit factory for Chinn and Chapman obscured many from seeing what phenomenal musicians they really were.

Rain Dances

by The Tallest Man in the World. Rather obscure.

Yup, I like ‘em dark.

Medley: Carrie Anne Just One Look Bus Stop Carousel Suzanne Stop Stop Stop

The live recording titled "The Hollies Live at the BBC," captures the band during a vibrant phase of their career in the 1960s. The band's harmonies and catchy melodies were showcased through their dynamic stage presence, and this concert showcases their ability to engage with live audiences, further demonstrating their versatility and appeal. Their enduring influence is reflected not only in their records but also in how their live shows captivated fans across generations.

Mission in the Rain, Jerry Garcia

I think Don was a lifelong Democrat.

Gordon Lightfoot.

Singing , here comes the rain again

Blue eyes crying in the rain

Long as I remember the rain been coming down.
Clouds of myst'ry pouring confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, trying to find the sun;
and I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia, seeking shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

Heard the singers playing, how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, trying to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pouring, falling on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

The Cult

Have You Ever Seen The Rain -Credence
Rain King - Counting Crows
Both of which I perform on 12 string.

I choose the same song for Post #63 on April 6th: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10182162409#post63

by Johnny Nash

youtube comment: "I'm living with cancer and this song will be playing as I leave the earth. I want my kids to be smiling and not crying. I want this to be a message for them to be positive and know that I'm ok."

Carole King

and..
-'Raindrops fallin on my head'
-'Singing in the rain

By Randy Newman, but there are so many lovely versions:

The rangers had a homecoming in Harlem late last night
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine over the Jersey state line
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain

It's raining, but there ain't a cloud in the sky
Must have been a tear from your eye

Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin', everybody's in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day? Hey

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no

An oldie. Don't know the name of the group.

It’s a homonym!

Well, they'll stone you when you're tryin' to be so good
They'll stone you just like they said they would
They'll stone you when you're tryin' to go home
Then they'll stone you when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you when you're walkin' 'long the street
They'll stone you when you're tryin' to keep your seat
They'll stone you when you're walkin' on the floor
They'll stone you when you're walkin' to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
They'll stone you when you're at the breakfast table
They'll stone you when you are young and able
They'll stone you when you're tryin' to make a buck
They'll stone you and then they'll say, "Good luck"
There, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned, alright!
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone
They'll stone you when you are walkin' home
They'll stone you and then say, "You are brave"
They'll stone you when you're set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
