    Folks it doesn't get any better than this. Johnny at his best. The Wrecking Crew backing him with the great Hal Blaine on drums, Joe Osborn, Larry K., and several other great session musicians. Marty Paitch arrangements, Lou Adler, James Burton, and the list goes on. This came out on a single in late 1967. Song written by James "Jim" Hendricks - Nashville gospel singer-songwriter. IF THIS WAS RELEASED TODAY 3-3-2017 IT WOULD BE AT HIT. Gosh, I went into the USAF 49 years ago today -- brings back GREAT memories. This song was BIG in VIETNAM ................................

    Johnny Rivers was so unique and different from the other artists at this time. He was basically playing at the same venues as the DOORS in LA at the same time but was completely different. Truly a great artist that left an indelible mark in my reflections of my youth. And totally deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

    Johnny Rivers was very popular in Brazil in the 70s and 80s. In the same stature as Beatles, Bee Gees, Elvis. Every Saturday, thousands of houses had their dances and Johnny Rivers was a mandatory presence on the record players.

    SUMMER RAIN
    Summer rain taps at my window
    West wind soft as a sweet dream
    My love warm as a sunshine
    Settin' here by me, she's here by me
    She stepped out of rainbow
    Golden hair shinin' like moon glow
    Warm lips soft as a soul
    Settin' here by me, she's here by me
    All summer long, we spent dancin' in the sand
    And the jukebox kept on playin'
    "Sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band"
    We sailed into the sunset
    Drifted home caught by gulf stream
    Never gave a thought for tomorrow
    Just let tomorrow be, now, let tomorrow be
    She wants to live in the rookies
    She says that's where we'll find place
    Settle down raise up a fami'y
    To call our own, yeah, We'll have home
    All summer long, we spent groovin' in the sand
    Everybody kept on playin'
    "Sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band"
    The snow drifts by my window
    North wind blowin' like thunder
    Our love's burnin' like fire
    And she's here by me, yeah, she's here with me,
    Let tomorrow be

    Anyone notice that the first time thru, "let tomorrow be" seems to mean 'leave it alone, don't worry about it'. whereas, the second time thru, at the end, it seems to mean 'let it come-we're ready for it.'? Just the musings of an old man...

    One of my favorite songs by Johnny. The great Hal Blaine on drums and Joe Osborn on bass with Johnny's vocal painting pictures. He references the Beatles because Sgt. Pepper's was THE album everyone was listening to in the summer of 1967.
