Ann's original studio version changed my life; this 1993 version changed it again. One of those few instances where the remake is better than the original!
The all time best version of this song...Ann Peebles is a queen, she owns this, none better, not Tina, not Joplin, not the Commitments, nobody does it better. Mad love for Ann Peebles. And you little up and comers, just remember this, ain't no school like old school. You'll see. :-)
The version from "The Commitments" movie is pretty good,but Ann KILLS IT to DEATH!She's one of the ALL-TIME greatest female singers,period...and Bulldog on drums!!Hi Records...wow,the musical memories...I know Detroit has the Motown Sound....But MEMPHIS as a whole IS THE SOUND OF SOUL!!!!!

Hey I am 52 and heard Graham Central Station's version first and it was a good one. Ann is a prototype R&B singer and we tend to take them (prototypes)for granted ! She is fine sexy and a great live performer from when all performers had to have something going on in and out of a studio! Check out the 'Blues Divas ' video with Morgan Freeman hosting!- Fc
This is a stripped down, minalist version of "I Can't Stand the Rain". Ann exposes the core, the meat of this soul classic. Ann seems so relaxed, like she is singing only for herself. Ann Peebles is a soul survivor.
Best Version ever - nice Hammond Organ

lol so true but you had luck I'm 16 and grew up in the 90's I think if you say "90's music" it explains everything... :D
