[anunnaki2006]

What have blacks got against rain? Is it a hot Africa thing? You have these, Ann Peebles and Seal all singing this.

[72micetta]

fantastic!!!!



[flamingember71]

I love this song , have to dance every time I listen , Great Music , Precious Wilson sings this song so Seductive with a bBeautiful voice , Great band .

[allcatslover]

what a voice sha had, that precious Precious Wilson!

[DukeStreetBill]

The original, by Ann Peebles, was very good. Eruption (lead singer, Precious WIlson), probably because their arrangement contained a lot more energy, made the tune a major hit. After that, if you do a search for the song, you'll find good versions by Ann Peebles, Seal, Tina Turner, and, surprisingly, a teenager named Sara Niemietz. In all cases, these are arrangements of a good song; must everyone post-piss about which version they prefer?

[The096757]

i first heard this on a saturday night radio show called "dangerous disco" around 1993.

i thought a man sang this.

[62yago]

..pelle d'oca........

[RettroDood]

Hi. Thanks for the upload. It reminded me how LAME this "disco" version was, compared to the original Ann Peebles recording. That repetitious "popcorn" keyboard riff gave me the s*!ts back then, as it does now! I have to say, Ann's version was far more "black" than this P.O.S. band's version, three or so years earlier. Eruption's version sounds soooo "white"!!

[lefreak79]

@RettroDood ARE YOU KIDDING?!?!?!?! THIS WAS THE ONLY VERSION!!! THIS WAS SO POPULAR IT WASN'T EVEN FUNNY. THE VERSINO BY ANN PEEBLES IS ORIGINAL BUT, YOU'VE GOT TO BE CRAZY TO CALL THIS LOUSY CRAP. ALSO, THIS DOESN'T SOUND "WHITE." YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NON-WHITE AND RACIST!!! A LOT OF PEOPLE HAS SAID THAT ABOUT A LOT OF DISCO. DON'T TALK BAD ABOUT DISCO. TALK BAD ABOUT GANGSTA RAP AND HIP SCHLOP! LOOK AT THE YOUTH OF TODAY AND SEE HOW GHETTO THEY ARE BECAUSE OF IT.

AL SANCHEZ

[RettroDood]

@lefreak79 I AM white, but NOT racist. My appraisal was purely from a musical perspective, Ann Peebles was (is) Black, And her version oozed soul! This version sounds lame and "white" to my ears. (Probably due to white producers in the day)...

Don't get me wrong, a LOT of disco was funky beyond belief. Disco Inferno, Mothership connection (a bit earlier), War, etc.. But I stand by my convictions, This was a bad remake. Not a soulful/funky tinge to it. Not even the vocals!

Cheers.

[lefreak79]

@RettroDood

You don't need "Soul" in every song in order for it to cut the mustard. A lot of Disco didn't necessarily have Soul but had great production and a slickness that sometimes would fly over the so called "soul" versions. This version was so well-produced and incredible in sound and depth. But, to each his own -- CHEERS!

DISCO AL

[xrigoxyx]

hmm I thought eruption had more solo's....

[vlaovik]

It would have been so easy for them to remake this song as a 4x4 disco track (which was massive at the time), but they took the harder route. Great verision of this Ann Peebles song - Tina Turner did a mighty fine version of it as well.

[zink2130]

Uhhh Klasse klasse :) DK

[gld06]

gorgus lady // awsome great voice ///........ great song .

[iSlashYooAss]

[abelgma]

This song is of the year 1977

[LoleattaGirl]

AMAZING

[ndvanrooijen]

This is the real shit of the '80s. The best time of the last century.

[Cidron1]

This is the most sexy video ever! She is so damn sexy! Take me back to the times!

[TheRyry84]

When i hear this song all i think of is TINA TURNER .

[Back2thedrive]

I saw them in consert in Norway. The were warming up for Boney M and i thought they were so much better than them. Where did they go ?

[Thejoshualoler101]

nice song but i like seal more

[earth123ism]

[valeria9068]

fra' ti aspetto

[valeria9068]

gra ti aspetto 

[Gemaelde]

Anfangs 70er Jahre hatte ich diesen Song im Luna-Park zum ersten mal gehört. Da kaufte ich schon eine single Platte davon. Das führte dazu, dass sich meine Eltern empörten, weil ich immer viel zu laut musik hörte....Eroption!. Peter

[sbaggish]

Awesome song!

[gosgulu]

Fantastic band!!!

[MrGariac]

This song's always in my mind... thanks Ann Peebles first...

[aditzulu]

One of the few songs that John Lennon was enjoying in the 70s.

[cimmeriantower]

@aditzulu source?

[aditzulu]

@cimmeriantower

A documentary I cant recall where. Is it so amazing?

:-D

[Ojibear]

The singer is the fabulous Precious Wilson who hails from Kingston, Jamaica.

[ojoscafe74]

Wow...I listen to this music and enjyed it so much in the past, 80´s, in my cuban backyard...with my loved family. Now...I can´t STAND the rain !



[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #95 song of '78. 13 folks don't know good music when they hear it, right, gang? Eruption hit #18 pop, #30 soul in the US. How'd it do in their native Jamaica? God bless!

[jenskies12]

Are there more disco songs like this one?

[Dixoking]

@jenskies12 check out Sylvester, you make me feel.

[lalevizos1981]

@jenskies12

SOS band - take your time

Almost anything from Boney M.

[nokiannie]

Those where the days when music was music lo 

[abqwriter]

Disco rules!! They don't make stuff like this anymore

[Grensoorlog]

She looks and sounds good but is too flat chested! haha

[abqwriter]

@Grensoorlog She's a looker dude. Nothing wrong with itty bitty titties!

[1964star]

tici-tici-tici-a-ha!!! Thanks a lot!

[Trottertube66]

absolut positiv feedback

[RapIsDeadly]

Lol....I haven't heard this song in over 30 years. It's not on any of the oldie station playlists...ever.

[overner2001]

The lead singer's name is Precious Wilson. I was never a great fan and anyone who admitted to liking Eruption or Boney M got laughed at in the late 1970s. I seem to recall this was a cover of an earlier song

[behdoc]

@overner2001

It was originally done as a ballad by Ann Peebles. I never liked the original version. This one's much better, in my opinion.

[xMoshinMetalheadx]

I love the rain!!!

[Glamking1]

This is from the ABBA in Switzerland special from 1979.

Which includes Roxy Music and Amii Stewart in it aswell.

[kodujuust01]

SUPER!!!

[saddy941]

yeah the great old song and what a voice !!!! cannot compare todays... Wonderful Thnx for the vid

[saraphinn]

Lip Sinc? Serious great performance!

[Krusas2]

[DERDISH1]

How understandable and sample that music was!!! THE GREAT STUFF!!

[Tibi77]

Great! I love Precious...

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #18 pop, #30 soul in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless!

[klaatuinc]

The first time I heard this song on Top 40, it became one of my faves. Later I got to know the original and a cover by Tina. It turned out to sound good no matter who sang it. I'm glad to see Eruption perform this one. Thanks for posting.

[f15mos]

she could sing this song the whole day I would not get tired listening .

[dacca62]

just love the music

[earth123ism]

reminds me of my primary school days

[dougiewhite778]

its raining against my window now. It dosnt bother me

[Buffik2000]

Очень эту песню в детстве любил! Пластинку у знакомой с трудом выпросил.

[mismobism0TM]

Boney M's producer spotted this female lead (2nd in the history of the band) so that's prob why it has that sound.

She sounds fantastic!

[regentv980]

good song,just like Boney M

[cubanito195969]

Very popular song in Cuba, bring back many good memories ; )

[khatchaaa]

[skiffsailor1]

Im 18 years old, and i don't know why I listen to this..

[shaidoo]

[GristleP]

Coolness. :)

[eezeupgeezer]

Precious. YOU ARE!!! Love you then and love you now.... an amazing singer and an amazing beauty too

[jewellers100]

[bagpussarah]

I love this song. I can remember my friend and I singing along to this.
