When holding a girl's hand while walking her home MEANT SOMETHING!!! When I had to show HER parents MY report card, so they knew I wasn't a THUG or IDIOT!!! And, when she first KISSED ME...I SWORE that I had a brief visit to HEAVEN!!! When we bought ONE milkshake but had TWO straws!!! When $5.00 at MCDONALD'S would feel you AND your date... WELL!!! We considered CUTE girls 'FOXY'...we had WOLFMAN JACK!!! Our PLAYLIST was a couple of records stacked up waiting to DROP...and...after that INDIAN shed a tear and the national anthem played, television went OFF!!! OH THOSE DAYS... OH...THOSE DAYS... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The 70s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 70s music. You don't need drugs or alcohol to appreciate the best music ever. God....take me back to the 70s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.
Amen - I was 13 when the Beatles broke up, so I lived the best years of my life in that decade. I can sing the words to at least 100 songs from that paradise of music. I am so grateful 🌞
Takes me back to a time when I was little, open to everything that played over the radio, and largely ignorant to the troubles of the world. Sometimes I long for that fantasy to be here again. Beautiful music.
Neil Sedaka has more talent in his pinky finger than 99.99% of the artists (or "artists") on the charts today combined! Such an amazing songwriter with a wonderful voice that brings the songs to life in the best way possible!
....So very much true!!! I most definitely second the motion... And the emotion... Long Live Music.. Long Live Musical Journeys... Longer Live Musical Love Memories... Peace...
I heard this in Walmart today. I started singing in the aisles. I haven’t done that since I had my thyroid removed 4 yrs ago. I sound terrible now but it still made me happy for a minute. ❤
1974, I’m 20 years old and this song knocks me over with its smoothness. I didn’t have anyone in my life just then but wanted someone to walk in the rain with, to walk anywhere with. Somehow this tune helped me feel hopeful that someday it would happen. Such good memories with this one. This one takes me back to a carefree time.
Timeless tune and ageless Neil Sedaka! I've been listening for nearly 50 years since it first came out in my middle school years in 1975. Love it! Thank you, Mr. Sedaka for makung my adolescence so memorable.
Same here, 57 also, I've loved this man's music for so long and will always listen to him. I lost the one that I held hands with, walked in the rain with and enjoyed laughing with so much last year after 23 years of marriage. I can still hear him humming this song while working on his car in the garage. Timeless memories that will never be forgotten.
As décadas de 60, 70 e 80 foram, na minha opinião, as melhores décadas da música nacional e internacional, com músicos incrivelmente talentosos que actuaram para públicos que amavam e apreciavam as suas músicas. Deus abençoe a música e os artistas dos anos 60, 70 e 80, eles eram ótimos músicos com músicas excelentes!! Uma das minhas músicas favoritas hoje em 2023 ainda é essa música lançada em 7 de Outubro de 1974 , com o Artista NEIL SEDAKA Intitulada LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN e outras músicas dos anos 60, 70, 80 … e nada além disso. A música hoje em 2000 é só para os pássaros; nada nem nenhum artista de hoje pode ser comparado aos de antigamente. Viva os anos 70 e a sua música, a melhor música de sempre.
I was mostly into rock but I also loved many genres and Neil Sedaka was a favorite! Me and my good buddy used to go to a karaoke bar and sing Calendar Girl! Everybody applauded! Sadly my buddy passed but I will see him again GOD willing. Amen. Thank you Mr Sedaka and Thank YOU FATHER!
Makes me think of the Rocket Record label on this song ... spinning around and 'round on our stereo as my tiny self would watch, ... back in the mid 70s ....
It was a rainy Saturday afternoon in Germany and my "girlfriend" and I went to the library. We were both in seventh grade and in love. We went to the library to hang out. We carved our initials on one of the desks with our pens and drew a heart around it with - I love you. Then we went to a record store and bought this record as a 45 single. That became our song and I can literally still feel her hand in mine and the raindrops falling on me when I hear that song. Her name is Manuela O. and I can still hear her laughing in the rain after all these decades! Thank you Manuela for your love, friendship and a perfect afternoon. We've been married for six months. We met again.
Hello, thanks for sharing your beautiful memories and love stories. I have learned a lots from reading youtube with sharing thoughts like this. Great cultures and l do love this song too as l remembered it on radio when l first came to this country in 1983. As a musician, l will try to play and sing this beautiful song now to remember those good old days. Thanks again. Best wishes
@@rodanoba8846 Hey Rod - she is my wife today. Today I'm laughing in the rain.We are very happy. I love you so much Manuela. We've been married for six months. We met again.
When this wonderful song became a hit back in the day, Neil Sedaka visited San Francisco with a high caliber backup group and appeared at the Boarding House club. I attended the show that was so great that I developed a lasting high respect for Mr Sedaka to this day. I’ve seen LOT of shows and concerts over the years, but this has always been one of my favorites!
This gotta be one of the most beautiful romantic love songs ever written. So connected to one of nature's greatest gifts and no big dramas, just the pure simple joy of being with your love.
I was in Junior High when this wonderful song came out. Our school bus had a radio with speakers throughout the bus. The driver had the radio tuned to the Mighty 610, KFRC San Francisco which played the great hits of the day... Listening to this, I'm 14 again and humming along to this great song.... Thanks for the memories... 😊
This is such a soothing song. No matter what my mood is during the day I can listen to this song & feel warm, cozy and relaxed. They don't make music like this anymore - I love the 70's
The chorus and the way it comes in are truly great. There's the nifty minor third modulation that packs a punch and the wonderful mix of backing vocals and strings to make it perfect.
And so it goes, I’m listening to this great song on this rainy Sunday morning in NY 3/28/21. This song truly put a smile on my face as I remember the so called good ole days. Damn I miss the world in which this music once existed, it’s probably the only way we will get through this twilight zone we seem to be experiencing today. Anyway, carry on, and REPLAY.
I remember when this song came out - and even now, so many years later, it always takes me right back to those days.. This is one of the "magic" songs.
Yes a beautiful old song it does take you back all those years ago, it brings back lots of memories, Just Love it. Neil has such a beautiful voice, ❤♥️❤♥️
This song came out my freshman year of college. It stirs emotions and memories. I am now blessed with a wonderful wife, children and grandchildren. RIP Mony. Thank you for saving me from myself. I wish we could have had one last talk.
Carla Linton. I love ❤️ Neil SEDAKA. He is one of my favorite POP Artists of all times. One of my favorite songs by Neil SEDAKA is called LAUGHTER IN The RAIN. This is one of my favorite Old School Jams back in the day. I'm a big Fan of Neil SEAKA.
Brings the early '70's when I was just a preteen and listened to am car radio and my mom's old 15 year old Magnavox HiFi. I was poor kid but lucky to have mother and grandfather who loved music.
Though Sedaka was far from being the first to employ this style of arrangement, this was one of the songs that laid the blueprint for the soft rock sound that would define the late 1970s. Especially that saxophone solo!
Uma das minhas músicas favoritas viajo ouvindo esse som procurarei por essa música por muitos anos só encontrei agora muito obrigado por postar valeu demais
Pure Class.......Sweetness wrapped up in honey. Melody, Chord Progressions, Arrangements, Strings, Vocals and that's gorgeous dew right there...Dripping heavenly richness.
One of my all time favorite songs. It's so evocative, bringing feelings of true love, real romance, & the possibility of lasting happiness. God bless Neil Sedaka & everyone listening to this song like me on September 2023 ❤️
I've been listening to this song since it hit the AM radio frequency back in the mid '70s. I was 13 when the Beatles broke up in '71, so I had the best years of my life in that decade. Listening to an unending paradise of different and wonderful music. As this song clearly demonstrates. I was one of the lucky ones. I'm 66 now in 2024 🌞
For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist-pianist Neil Sedaka, backing vocalists Abigale Haness and Brian & Brenda Russell, acoustic guitarist Dean Parks, electric guitarist Danny Kortchmar, bassist Leland Sklar, drummer Russ Kunkel, organist-backing vocalist William Smith, saxophonist Jim Horn, and string arranger and conductor Artie Butler.

So different than todays music.

From a teenager of the '80s, I agree.
Radio music was the best
Im 48,and love this music,it's truly peaceful❤
Wow, Neil Sedaka will be 85 in 3 days, on 3-13-24. Today is 3-10-24. Happy Birthday Mr. Sedaka & thanks for the great music.
6 days older than my dad. 2 classics.
That’s very sweet.
His birthday is just 3 days before mine, a HUGE age gap but we almost share the same day.
Neil still rocks people! What a totally groovy time in which I grew up!!!!!!!!!
Sharing our love under stormy skies.. lyrics of the 70' s don't get any better. Feeling happy..😊
Takes me back to a time when I was little, open to everything that played over the radio, and largely ignorant to the troubles of the world. Sometimes I long for that fantasy to be here again. Beautiful music.
feels good doesn't it?
Man, you need and deserve more likes on this, not just for how you said it but also for the way you said it!! So very true!!!!
I'm very thankful that I grew up in the 1960s and 70s and was able to experience all the incredible music first hand.
same here, 1972, 17 years old entered the Army and began the journey. I miss it, being young and dumb.
Neil Sedaka has more talent in his pinky finger than 99.99% of the artists (or "artists") on the charts today combined!
Such an amazing songwriter with a wonderful voice that brings the songs to life in the best way possible!
Yes , and that is a statement!
....So very much true!!!
I most definitely second the motion... And the emotion...
Long Live Music..
Long Live Musical Journeys...
Longer Live Musical Love Memories... Peace...
And don't forget Phil Cody his partner in crime.
@@theshrink6719 Absolutely!
😂 a broken one at that!
I heard this in Walmart today. I started singing in the aisles.
I haven’t done that since I had my thyroid removed 4 yrs ago.
I sound terrible now but it still made me happy for a minute. ❤
The fact that this video is still getting comments just 12 days ago really shows how timeless it is
❤❤❤❤
Good for you Lin, I always sing along in store aisles. You'ld be surprised how many start singing along❣️
God bless you!
Miss when music was sweet and innocent 🩵🌧🩵

53 years old and I remember loving this song as a child on AM radio. Nothing compares and if you are with me then you know!
My fifth grade music teacher played this 45 in class around 1975. Since then I was hooked on Neil Sedaka.

Why haven't they put this man in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet??
I literally have not heard this one in DECADES. Life's full of pleasant and unexpected little surprises.😊

Tenho 40 anos mas ouvi esse som 1x na radio antena um, é um hit do kct.. top 10 canta muito!
ESSA CANÇÃO É MARAVILHOSA. ETERNAMENTE NA MEMÓRIA PRA QUEM GOSTA DO QUE É MARAVILHOSO❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is such a soothing song. No matter what my mood is during the day I can listen to this song & feel warm, cozy and relaxed. They don't make music like this anymore - I love the 70's
boa pedida meu amor
Music peaked in the ‘70s.
Ohhh, yes, the 70s ☺️
Depois de quase uma década, finalmente achei essa relíquia 😌😌
Love this song! Wish there were more like it these days!❤
I didn't know this nice song was sung by Sedaka.
Still a great song. Perfect radio hit.
The chorus and the way it comes in are truly great. There's the nifty minor third modulation that packs a punch and the wonderful mix of backing vocals and strings to make it perfect.
Wsu!! Recuerdo mi niñez con estas canciones de 10 ❤❤

True
I remember when this song came out - and even now, so many years later, it always takes me right back to those days.. This is one of the "magic" songs.
This song brings back memories of my dad driving the family to the beach in Miami.
A simple song, but an absolute classic. Thank you Mr. Sedaka
This is legend. He covered 2 generations, end of story.
Just loving this song...takes me back to my younger years... listening while it's rainy morning in Manila😊
Yes a beautiful old song it does take you back all those years ago, it brings back lots of memories, Just Love it. Neil has such a beautiful voice, ❤♥️❤♥️
This guy plucked great melodies and lyrics out of thin air as if by magic... This was the golden era of music, sadly never to be repeated.
This song is the pure joy, we all love, and need more of!!!
One of the most wonderful musicians ever

Every time I hear his songs I feel like a teenager again, what a great artist ft
Meaning of life coming out of these melodies.
n°1 Aux States en février 1975 ; sublime chanson ! très beau souvenir !
Nostalgic
Remembering 1989 at PARKER'S LIGHT HOWSE, LONG BEACH, GOLD times.

Great record, definitely lifts the spirit
Realmente, super espetacular!
このレビューを書いている時点でのコメントですが、6月6日のNHKラジオのマイあさ！のワンコーナーである落合恵子女史の絵本の時間でこの曲がオンエアされていました。それ以前に今年1月のサエキけんぞう氏の素晴らしき二十世紀ポップのコーナーでも紹介されていました。NHKラジオさんてニール・セダカ氏のこの曲が好きなようですね？私も好きです。
There was this little girl in class we little boys were crazy for back in the day when this song was on the radio. Ah puppy love in the early 70's.😊
Simplesmente lindo, fantástico e inesquecível ..tempo bom, música de verdade....Obrigada ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still gets me 45 yrs later...
Agree, an absolute gem from a music legend.
Pure Class.......Sweetness wrapped up in honey. Melody, Chord Progressions, Arrangements, Strings, Vocals and that's gorgeous dew right there...Dripping heavenly richness.
Indeed -- summed it up quite nicely -- love the horns --
wow you nailed it

For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist-pianist Neil Sedaka, backing vocalists Abigale Haness and Brian & Brenda Russell, acoustic guitarist Dean Parks, electric guitarist Danny Kortchmar, bassist Leland Sklar, drummer Russ Kunkel, organist-backing vocalist William Smith, saxophonist Jim Horn, and string arranger and conductor Artie Butler.
