OK:This was Brook's last top 40 song on the Billboards Charts, topping out at #4 in 1970. In 1961, The Boll Weevil Song made it to #2, and was #1 on the Adult Contemporary Charts. His first hit, "It's Just Matter Of Time" in 1959, #3 Billboards and #1 on the R&B charts for 9weeks. One of my favoites by Brook Was "Shadrack"( from the Bible). I still have that on 45rpm.Came out in 1962; #19 on the Billboards Charts. For more of Brook's songs google Brook Benton Wiki.
1963- Hotel Happiness #3 song

What are you looking for? What real hit?



Actually, the best version of this song - done by Brook Benton - had the sound of a harmonica playing in it. It kind of gave the listener the sense that Mr. Benton was sitting in that boxcar, in the rain, singing, and playing that harmonica...truly moving!

You can now hear it. Helmazz has posted it(03/16/08)and I believe it is the orig. recording. A little more reverb (echo), and you can hear that harmonica off in the distance. "Brook Benton - Rainy Night in Georgia", with a 3:54 run time. Grab your handkerchief and listen...
