This is one of my all time favorite songs and Brook Benton was absolutely wonderful singing it. He was such a special singer, with such a special voice and can never be replaced.
Brook Benton, is soooo smooth..... he reminds me of Sammy Davis Jr with his expressions on stage....there will never be an other like him....gotta love this man !
This song was a favorite for my mother and it will always remind me of her. It will always live long in my heart as I meditate on the good times that I had with my mother. She was the best mom that anyone could ever ask God for. Sincerely
I've done the rounds. Benton's version tops the charts. Ruffin appears overrated, but I still like his version better than Benson's. Randy Crawford fascinates and looks sweet, but Benton is excellent and no other professional singer (found on youtube) comes anywhere near it.
ON a scale from 'good - great - superb/wonderful - excellent/fantastic - brilliant - speechless', my finding: excellent vocally, and the performance is great, and the song itself and nostalgia - utterly brilliant. (pretty 'good' analysis from me on a Monday)
Man was all class. He deserved many more songs as good as Rainy Night In Georgia. My favorite will always be "Hotel Happiness," because I like that bluesy Brook Benton. "Lie To Me," is also excellent. He deserved a far more reaching audience. I wonder if any of the younger people today who listen to music would even know who this man is? I feel much of this style, including soul music in general, has been dismissed today. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe singers like Adele are the new soul music.
What a great nostalgic song ! Mr. Benton performs it so beautiifully that it never fails to arise emotions in my heart when I listen to it. R.I.P. great singer in your voice you will live forever.
Yes,Yes,Yes I can remember my mother would play this great singers albums. This is totally on of my favorites. I can listen to this song over and over, and i just don't get tired of great tunes such as this. Thank you for posting this golden anthem. Thank you Mr. Brook Benton great inspiration. Makes me want to move to Georgia.
What a truly awesome performance, both by Brook, and the band. Gotta' love the Fender Strat! Thank you Tony Joe White, for putting together this great song, one of the best. Just love the bluesy, soulful voice, nobody sings this better. His Gospel roots, and influence are very apparent. God rest your soul, my friend, you were born to sing! Joerocks
Music is like scent. It can transport us back to that time in our memories. It's always fun to take a trip to the past and relive those times in our hearts and minds.
In 2008 it had been raining for like 3 days in the ATL, (ATLANTA). I would crank this up on the third night of rain my punk azz neighbors call the cops wasn't that a biach'.The cops reply was it is raining but please turn this down
Any one know who was on drums?? I can't get a good look, but it looks like it could Papa Joe Jones. Jo used to turn his drumsticks around like that, (shown for an instant at beginning). Papa Jo taught my father to play drums, used to come visit when I was young. I don't if that's him but the few glances I can get sure do look him. I don't know if he was still playing in "82. He passed in "85. He was a very sweet man,. I remember him well. PW
I can listen to this song ny Brook Benton over and over and over and never got tired of it for years. It's just so beautiful. In this show his facial expressions just make be crack. Such charm. Oh we do miss him. Rest his beautiful soul....yes we all play the game don't we...

i was in viet nam and the monsoons where in season, and though i hope it was raining at home and she'ld stayed home but never the less she left anyway. not i have those what if's?
@KrazyK823 I too love this song. My take on it. It is about a man on the road, away from his love...could be that they split, could be he is a musician trying to make it on his own. Nonetheless, he is struggling, as evidenced by his taking a ride in a boxcar. He is melancholy, the mood heightened by the rain & hence because of his sadness he says it is rainin all over the world. So much richness to the lyrics "a distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night." Ah, I feel it.
Every time it rains i this southeastern town which I live in now, I think of this song...and I love how he was having FUN doing it - his signature classic. I remember playing on many Top 40 stations that I worked at. BRA...VO!
When the earth go to th end,you'll see the sky of the whole world falling volcanic ash,magma,slurry ,rain...............we gonna say goodby each other,then sit and listen to this song .........what a rainy night ........

I heard this song when I was young and FELL in love with it then and years later it still has that effect on me, romantic, sadness yet sexiness all mixed together. I love it.. it moves me like no other song.... 2011 I still feel as I felt then...... sexy . Ms. Helena
you can't teach that, you either have it or not. its all about a performers respect for the music and the fans , .any of the current top 40 move you like this? if so set me straight.
Thanks for that Louie, here in Sedona, AZ, (hate to rub it in) but hey we all get our chances. Yesterday laid on the creek bed and day before 78 degrees!
Still ! Remembering and listening to you ! No wonder Sinatra devoted his entire sound room to you after he heard you sing " My Way " , and your " I've Gotta Be Me " !
There was a certain type of singer epitomized by Brook benton, a mature, satiny, baritone that you just don't hear ant more. How much richer music was when we had the likes of Brook.
No lip synching for Brook Benton. I loved his hit recording of Rainy Night in Georgia (maybe Tony Joe White's greatest song); but this is just a terrific performance.
A música é fantástica, a voz de Brook Benton aveludada. Isso me leva a bons momentos de minha vida. Existem alguns caras que gravam uma música para sempre. simplesmente perfeito!
A stray kitten showed up outside my door at night in Dallas, TX on November 2, 2010 while it was raining and cold outside. It was rainy in Dallas but the only thoughts when it came to give her a name were "Georgia". So blame this song for her name.
Lord, I could listen to this song a million times and never get tired of it. The live version or the original, it makes no difference, I love the sadness and beauty of this wonderful song.

@aenonriver "Roaring" by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night? I don't think that's right. Hovering is the correct word. Taking nothing from David, but this song was made famous by Brook Benton.
Class, style, perfect instrumentation, flawless vocalization. I actually look forward to rainy nights here in Chicago so I can listen to this song. It's a song I have to listen to on rainy nights when I'm alone, contemplating my life, reflecting on how life used to be. And it makes me feel so good. Just another great song from those magical 70's.
I'am sitting here thinking back when i was 17 , that was about 1970 just a traveling hippie from virginia . hitch my way down the east coast to ATLANTA georgia & it starting Raining for about five day never stoped , I sleep under bridges & half way houses. Could not believe people walking up to me on the street
God! This is one of my favorite all-time songs! I was young when this song was released in 1970, and I never forgot it. THANK YOU so much for sharing! Bless you!

dis man said hovering, i think he's flying, the right word is roaring, David Ruffin is the best!!!

@aenonriver "Roaring" by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night? I don't think that's right. Hovering is the correct word. Taking nothing from David, but this song was made famous by Brook Benton.

Same kind of sentiments are in Daughtry's "I'm Going Home". The Classic themes never really die out. ;-)

Tony Joe White wrote the song and no cover artist will ever come close to performing it as well as TJW

@HippieTree3 wait a minute now, surely you don't classify Brook Benton as a cover artist?

This song in the voice of the great Brook Benton has become timeless.
One cannot help but feel pain in his words. The music and the lyrics are so very beautfull . It is as if it is all happening to you.
To me this beautifull piece has real SOUL !

Class, style, perfect instrumentation, flawless vocalization. I actually look forward to rainy nights here in Chicago so I can listen to this song. It's a song I have to listen to on rainy nights when I'm alone, contemplating my life, reflecting on how life used to be. And it makes me feel so good. Just another great song from those magical 70's.

@tommieparch; with all due respect...that's like saying Bambi and Bullwinkle are identical twins. Please go back and listen to each song, just a little more closely this time. Peace.
