Dee Clark - Raindrops (STEREO Album Version)

*STEREO*. Dee Clark sings his big hit, "Raindrops". This is an alternative stereo version, which featured on his 1961album, "Hold On It's Dee Clark'. As LaVerne37 has remarked, the strings are more prominent on this version - listen to those cascading strings at 1:00 and 2:00!

I joined the Air Force in 1961 and was in Basic Medical Training at Lackland AFB when this song came out.....I spent many a coin in the Juke Box at what we called Frosty Freds drinking coke and playing this song....Lonely for the girl back home.........thanks for the post........

What a voice Dee!

I absolutely loved this song in '61. Sign of a classic is that, after all these years, I still love it. But then, I heard it playing through the 2 transistor radio my Dad gave me that I would hold up to my ear to hear it louder. So it was lovely to hear it in stereo. And I LOVE the chords they used behind the words " ...fallin' from my eye eyes" and "I don't know where she's gone". Perfect!

Thanks for the memories SirBasildeBrush.

All this crap about any records in the era of post Elvis and pre-Beatles were no good is nonsense when you hear the quality of this record.It wasn't all about Frankie Avalon and the Bobby's(Rydell,Vee,etc..etc)Ag­e43.

@ShadowHawk4219 That is so true. One of the reasons why Dee Clark was ripped off was because of the fact that he was an African-American who had real talent and they used him to fill their pockets. They are the same unscrupulous corporate people who do the same by having these talentless slackers of today (like Rhianna) put out garbage and hoard the world of their economic resources.
