Baby The Rain Must Fall - Sung By Glenn Yarbrough - Tribute to Steve McQueen

[PAprogressive]

Unfortunately for all those women McQueen was just as comfortable sleeping with men.

[Visplight]

@PAprogressive What do you mean, "unfortunately'? Nothing wrong with bisexuals.

[PAprogressive]

@Visplight You obviously missed the context of my comment.

[MrCombat1965]

@Visplight Except for the complete lack of morals, the complete lack of a personal commitment, the complete lack of understanding there are things greater than themselves, the complete lack of understanding there is more to life than trying to have sex with anything that moves or speaks, there is everything wrong with them and they know it.

[Visplight]

@MrCombat1965 Oh go spew moral indignation and prudery somewhere else. The rest of us will be enjoying the awesomeness that is Steve McQueen - the man too sexy to limit himself to one gender.

[MrCombat1965]

@Visplight You perverts are entirely predictable, a pervert makes a useless and baseless comment and when challenged, you make another useless and baseless comment. I win again. Your perversion will catch up to you someday, and no one will care. Have fun.

[Visplight]

@MrCombat1965 You're right about one thing: I will have fun.  Thank you, buh-bye.

I liked a lot of the mens men actors like john wayne, clint eastwood,and many others but steve was the coolest of all RIP STEVE.

[Stouffue]

Jeremy Gilbert grand-father!

[Visplight]

Well, he's right.  Steve>Ben

[castalia60able]

@Visplight - I agree too!

[jaxinco]

Papillion was Steve's best movie, IMHO.The Great Escape was awesome, too.

[TheEldoradoKid]

This is a great song, but I don't quite get why it's a tribute to Steve McQueen. Sure Steve exibited a lot of the atributes that are extolled in the song, but I don't think he has an exclusive. Also there should have been a clip in the vid of one of McQueens best roles in The Sand Pebbles, and where are the westerns? Anyway, nice effort, memorable song...

[oldtl345]

I like what 9263069 said There are songs that a Man can truly feel. They describe what it is to be a man. Baby The rain Must fall is such a song. My opinion.

[jsbach15]

The quote by GQ's Joe Queenan, is very creepy! And, he gets paid for being that bad of a writer? Nice tribute to Steve.

[LaNellAshleyBarrette]

Ten or so words of this song came to me out the blue, and luckily was able to easily find I'd not imagined it. Just didn't know it was a movie theme song (made before I was born, but still surprised I'd not seen it). Our generation's Steve McQueen must be Daniel Craig, hopefully sans the smoking, etc.,so he'll be around and looking good longer.

Thanks for the posting!

One of the greatest singer voices Yarbrough, and Frankie Lane. What I loved about watching Glenn sing this song is he was so cool- When I was 32 I fell absolutely head over heels in love with a man 17 years older than I . No doubt he hung the moon. After 5 years of missed flights, reconnections, rushed vacations, circled days on the calendar -- I came to understand Baby The Rain Must Fall ... I was a major part of his bigger picture, I would never be the picture.

[freeheretic111]

A great classic when society was more sane.

[theshadow1932]

Dead Steve McQueen.........live Ben Afleck........there's a DIFFERENCE?

[IMissChicagoPizza]

Saw Glen a fews ago . he look good and sounded great

[2cockers]

Glenn is still alive and well, we saw him about 4 years ago.

[JubalCalif]

Oh, I love this song! Glenn Yarbrough has (had?) a wonderful voice. Too bad he never had any other big hits during his solo singing career. And the "Baby the Rain Must Fall" movie Steve McQueen starred in is a pretty good flick. Not great but good. It was based on a play written by Horton Foote, who won an Oscar for his screenplay for "To Kill A Mockingbird", among his many many successes. Plus, Steve had a gorgeous co-star in the late great Lee Remick. THANKS for posting! Happy Holidays!

[pywacket7]

The song and singer...magnificent

GQ mag....pathetic

[jimmyb227]

What a great tribute! Thanks for posting!

Steve McQueen. United States Marine Corp

[betsy223]

Yes, despite a really disadvantaged and even abused childhood he recovered and rose to the top of his profession. A Marine and a conservative Republican (even when it was not fashionable) he was the ultimate rebel, dying as a baptized Christian when that certainly wasn't what Hollywood was about.

[yedon68]

...i love the song and delivery...and noted steve mcqueen mush have been a heavy~smoker..?

[LivingDog94]

Oh wow, that's a quote from GQ ... I thought it was the OP's personal opinion. Well then I gotta say this - I have noticed this as well - the new American male actor is a metro-sexual while the American male actor in the past generation was real. Jack Palance, Steve McQueen, Robert Mitchum, Richard Widmark, Burt Lancaster, Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas, ... the list goes on. The new breed are more sensitive and into feelings. wow.... there really was a change. I think it all started in the sixties.

[Bo618]

nobody sexier than steve thanks signed nana toni

[melanojew]

Yes, you just captured the whole schema!

[tallorder9]

You've heard about the dude who was accused of necrophilia, His excuse was

he thought she was British.

[Cyberella1000]

Hysterical

[tocaman97]

This is when music was born--when a man ....by the name of Glenn Yarbrough!Wow--A hit among the ages!!!!!

[9263069]

There are songs, and then there are Men's songs, and they are not the same. At 12, this song helped shaped a boy into a man in 65....there will be only 1 Steve.

[USMMA86]

WOW! That's a man's song! Same as McQueen was a man's man!

[Uburosco]

Steve McQueen IS the King of Cool! Awesome song to honor him!!!

[Uburosco]

++++
