Guest - If this is the first time you have posted a query, it would be helpful if you could provide a simple statement as to what you are seeking. I recall the song you mention, but it apparently is not in the database. Phrase your question more fully and maybe some one can help you.

Perhaps Guest just wanted to make a musical comment on the weather?

Written by: Ernie Sheldon (AKA Ernie Lieberman)
Performed by: Glenn Yarbrough
BABY THE RAIN MUST FALL

Some men climb the mountains
Some men swim the seas
Some men fly above the sky
They are what they must be.

CHORUS:
Baby the rain must fall
Baby the wind must blow
Wherever my heart leads me
Baby I must go
Baby I must go.

I do not love for silver
I do not love for gold
My heart is mine to give away
It never will be sold.

Glen Yarborough sung it and made a hit out of it. It was composed by Ernie Sheldon (AKA Ernie Lieberman) who resides in California.

Glen didn't like to sing it after it became a hit.

It was used, I think, as the theme song to a Steve McQueen movie of the same name.

Thanks, Frankham! That's what I get for just copying the lyrics off a webpage (hahaha). I appreciate the info and the correction.

Not sure if Mr. Sheldon got proper film credits for this songtrack.
Saw the 1964 film last week & Elmer Bernstein was credited with
the score.

What 'rocked my socks' was watching STEVE McQUEEN lip-synching
"Rockabilly" lyrics to a dewy-eyed Lee Remick character. The
mis-timing of the voice-over to the acting were worth the price of
admission.

Steve obviously made a good career move when he stopped imitating
singers & flushed out his action-packed, brooding loner, leading man screen persona.

I was dumbfounded when years later I realized that the movie was based on Horton Foote's play, THE TRAVELING LADY, which is currently being revived in New York.

Not one review I've read mentions BABY, THE RAIN MUST FALL.
