Alvena Willis , I know your dad..him, Tyrone Moore, Freddy and Pierre were the baddest group from the Henry Horner Projects..The westside..no "Chicago"
@@phillip-michaelharris8032 no he sounded like Michael Jackson! This song came out in 1975 which Michaels voice was starting to turn into his adult voice for the rest of his life! Before 1975 he sounded like this so technically this guy sounded like a young Michael Jackson
I was only 14yrs old at that time and if only anyone knew what pains I was experiencing at that age I didn’t know then that God was preparing me for bigger storms to come☔️I certainly am grateful to have had this one and only hit.
Also proud of all of you that are remaking the song using The original in your own way either way if someone else brought you here our original brought them here.!!!
Thank you Kendrick for showing this song to the younger generation. Kadhja Bonet's version is so beautiful. I didn't even know it was a cover until now.
This song will always be special to me. Im only 25 years old but I remember when my dad would sing this to me. He was always in and out of my life when I was a child . None the less tho he was always my favorite. This brings back my child hood because he and I have been through sooo much. I remember the rain and Im thankful that we still stand strong in our relationship. If anybody out there has a parent that hasn't been the best, FORGIVE THEM. No matter how hard it is. You only get that one.
You are only 25? You have the wisdom of a much older person. If the picture next to your name is really you, you are also very beautiful. Your dad has got a real winner for a daughter. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
True sometimes it's not the dad's but the mother's themselves not saying it's your case either is it mines my BM let's me be with my daughter I love her n will never let her go but my dad has shown me dusties soul music n I love it my fav group is stylistics but this is my favorite song rememeber mds me of my first love
Lyrics We used to play out in the rain Your mother scolded us She said that we were bad (She said that we were bad) I thought I'd better go on home (stepped it up and) You watched till I was gone Ooh, girl, you looked so sad I picked you up when you fell and cut your knee I told you not to cry and held you close to me As I was running through the storm To get my umbrella I stopped in shock when I saw you With another fellow, oh, wow Can you remember the rain? Can you remember the rain? You left me for somebody else Now I must face life by myself You broke so many rules in school I took the blame for you I guess I was the fool You used to sneak me notes in class I winked my eye and laughed Those days went by so fast I've got remarks that torn us all apart I'm still tryna put back the pieces to my heart And I'll be crying your name, girl Until my very last breath 'Cause my existence without you Ain't nothing but a little death Gosh Can you remember the rain? Can you remember the rain? You left me for somebody else Now I must face life by myself Think about it, think about it Think about it, think about it Think about it, think about it Oh! Baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby, baby
Thank you 🙏🏽 I pray I will be able to stream it I’m sure it’s something with the rights or old label and the family should be compensated a long with any living members
I heard this song for the first time when I was 13. I played it over and over on a cassette tape that belonged to my mom. One day I was the at the local laundry and the tape popped. I was devastated!!! It was twelve years later before I heard this wonderful song again. 21st Century will live forever as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for giving this song new life.
Black people and culture had it going on back in the day. The masters of song and music no doubt. Nothing on this earth like Old School Black Soul Music. Just a simple fact.
+DaOrigTruthSeeker with that simplistic train of thought, white rock or pop music culture has declined too evident that all music in the 70s even the throw away pop stuff sounds like a work of art compared to todays . Not so much to do with anybodys colour or race too do with modern music using more condenced recording process's and melody and thought being a thing of that past from the perspective of a gimick high present .
Tricky Donavan Has everything to do with color and culture. Two totally different vibes. Just as it is today. Whites just don't have the same kind of soul as Blacks and this is evident in every way. Only a dishonest person would deny.
LOS MIDNIGHTERS Cool, I'm glad you appreciate this and much props. What I don't get is why certain Chicanos (I'm not saying all) have beef with Black people while bumping old school Black hits.
You're absolutely right, this song is by the 21st Century, one of my favorites back in 10th grade, 1972-73, the album gotta away through the years, thanks for your contribution!
@@debbiemoses4912 no the silvers never made this that s a false advertisement showing there album with our recording I should know because it’s me singing the lead
Chicago SOUL.... Back when Chi Town had so many amazing acts coming out. I need them to listen to this and other songs and recognize their greatness and stop the madness. Back when Black culture was PINNACLE!
Khadja Bonet brought me here... listening to her sing this, I kept thinking wow this would sound so good with an Earth Wind & Fire, Chi-Lites, Blue Magic, Stylistics, Jackson 5, Delphonics era type of voice and to find out this came first, just confirmed everything. So rewarding to hear this beautiful music.
Thank you NYC in 1975 we performed at Brooklyn High Sch. and while performing Remember the rain the entire audience had there umbrellas up, Brooklyn blew our minds, we love you.
This one was big in NYC, I was 17 yrs old in High School in Manhattan and this was the slow jam at house parties everywhere I went. Thanks for doing this one!
Been listening to this song for 15yrs & now it’s become a TikTok trend & honestly I’m glad the younger generation gets to hear what good music is ❤ May oldies never die 💕
Oh wow, thank you for that comment to say I sound like the great MJ (lol) and people that know me personally ask me why I'm always smiling, and right a lot of folks never heard of us but for those who have, and especially the ones making this type of comparison, we love you madly
Honeyy, he goes off at the end. My favorite part "Oh! Baby, baby, baby, baby. Baby, baby, baby, baby..." Have always loved this song. And also "Child" which made too much sense to be a hit I guess.
What a beautifully haunting and fantastically performed song by ALL of these young men. Superb production and arrangement. It never gets old. It's an all-time favorite of mine and always in rotation in my musical mix while driving or working around the house. Pure creative magic!! Lots of kudos to Marvin Smith also.
they werent any competition to anyone, just a young group in an era that was full of amazing talent, this jewel is timeless.....i can remember the rain and the feeling this song made a young man feel during my high school days...
We once opened for the Spinners they asked if they could use our bar stools that we used while performing The way we were anyhow Our leader Freddie Williams closed the show singing Bad luck by teddy Pendergrass he killed the song took it to church and the lead singer of the Spinners was not very happy the whole group shook our hands but not him I always loved that group Felipe win and Freddie Williams RIH

makes me happy that mr pierre can look back on here and get some love, i wish more older artists would tell us stories for songs like that, both songs are are awesome
Thank you Anime I’m honored Im no comparison, most artist are giants meaning tons of hits we barely had two, and now the way I see the business just a speck of success is humbling and your always free no security no I own you or your name just my two cents , who doesn’t want to hit the lotto it’s the consequences that we don’t see nor hear because we don’t understand.
@@wakepe1 still, I'm honored sir, this song is a classic that inspired one of my favorites from Mario, proud to say my people did that ...plus, this music then made it's way back and I'm glad
Asking us to get music we did fifty years ago is like asking the Beatles for an autograph lol it is what it is and chat is a hidden gem glad our youth pulled it up our talent is ours and yours is yours thanks for making Ours yours.
Same here, his song is called "Peep Game"...he was my favorite rapper before his death and we were born on the same day in the same year 10/21/1983 #RIPStackBundles
think this group got out shined by jackson 5 they were out at the same time, and I think the label did not have the financial backing like motown... Great song the lead could stand against Michael at that time....
Several groups had incredible young vocalist that sounded similar in tone... Such as,(Brighter side of Darkness)- LOVE JONES) And a group y'all should definitely check out by the name of (Butterscotch) with the song,something has got to change.
This sounds like heaven! Took me alllllllllllllll the way back to my teen years! So nice, I had to hear it twice!! It was a magical time with the BEST MUSIC EVERRRRRRRRRRRR! #gottaLOVEthe70s
I met my son's father when I was 3 years old. He was going on 7. Never was able to be with him until I was 30, he was 34. This song brings back the 60s. Such a story. Just ask you'll be amazed. I'm 61.
In 1975 I heard this song in the gymnasium of Robert Clemente High School in Chicago. I never did find out the name of the song, but I never forgot it's melody. Thirty three years later, I finally found it on UA-cam. It's a testament to the beauty and greatness of the song that decades later I still remember the rain and the song.
A days a thousand and a thousands a day I sung the lead on that original song at age 14 I’m now65 years young listening to you all compare me to a legend who had to many hits to list myself I’m grateful for one hit that fifty years later you would be singing and remaking not the Sylvers , Brighter side of Darkness Boys to men the Jackson 5 never would I have dreamed this but your even using my voice on your tracks I appreciate it so stop comparing and sing there hits as well and put there voices on your tracks hmm. PierreB
Thank you all for your comments about Remember the rain although some of you don't have a clue, were happy that Mario Chris,Nikki have sampled us and more importantly the voices your listening to on You left me for somebody else are ,our voices (21st Century) so to say who brought you here?It was the 21st C,and for those of you that are too young to know us ,your parents or grands in1974 had you while listening to us lol lead vocalist Pierre
Mr Pierre, I just came across this song today, and I’ve had it on repeat this whole time. Love everything about this record. I swear I have an old soul, lol. 💯👌🏾
@@Roslynn846 if it was a present song maybe but we are not trying to promote our music that was already done in starting back in 1974 that’s why it’s a classic thanks to the internet you can still find bit somewhere I have a song on iTunes album titled whispers from the underground number 14 Pierre Johnson and I can’t get it on Spotify but again I’m a vocalist not a promoter I stay in my lane and do what I can ( sing) iTunes song is called Saturday nite scru
This has been my breakup song. It’s taken such a toll on me mentally and physically, but this song expresses every way I’m feeling. I miss and love her so much. this song eases the pain.
This style & genre of music will forever be missed. I'm on 19yrs old. This was way before my time, but it doesn't hurt to take a back seat ride through the time your parents grew up in.
This is so beautiful. ..they play it every week for "Take me back Thursday"..I thought it was the Jackson 5..but it's real music....ONE of the best. .Mad Love...
I have always loved this song, always will. It was different back then when you had to sing and you didn't have auto tunes to make you sound good. Either you had it or you didn't. I treasure this music as I grew up with it and it makes me smile every time I listen. Can't find it to purchase it though...too bad. Enjoy family.
Man, that was good singing back then, and the members sound very, very young. 1975 was a great time musically. Now I'm love with yet another HOTT track....
We used to play out in the rain Your mother scolded us She said that we were bad I thought I better go on home You watched 'til I was gone Ooh, girl, you look so sad I picked you up when you fell And cut your knee Told you not to cry And held you close to me Can you remember the rain Can you remember the rain You left me for somebody else Now I must face life by myself You broke so many rules in school I took the blame for you I guess I was a fool You used to pass me notes in class I'd winked my eye and laugh Those days went by so fast I got remarks That tore me all apart Still trying to put back the pieces to my heart Can you remember the rain Can you remember the rain You left me for somebody else Now I must face life by myself Can you remember the rain (think about it, think about it, think about it) Can you remember the rain You left me for somebody else Now I must face life by myself
+aleks cruz all races and cultures will be able to relate to this brand of music because it comes from a place where race and culture has no hold. OUR BEATING HEARTS AND THE BLOOD THAT FLOWS from our veins.
"I picked you up when you fell and cut your kneeeEeeEe... I told you not to cry and held you close to meeEEeEee!!" 😩😫... Who else is here cuz of BigXthaPlug??
My dad is Charley Sr I'm jr. 45yeas young and the bsy of six. Going out of town when I was a kid was a blessing this song is a gem. And because of Sr. I have so much inventory in my mind of classics of different genres endless music for my soul. I wake up to an automatic brain Playlist everyday and I just go along with it..
I'm 46 years old and I've been listening to oldies since I was probably 11 years old and I'm into the real underground stuff not the mainstream played out songs and this right here has always been my favorite
I was born after, but I listen to a lot of 60’s and 70’s era music and I can’t believe I hadn’t heard this until now. Thank you to the beautiful Kadhja Bonet for covering it and leading me to find this original. It’s amazing!
I've heared this song exactly 5years ago, ive been trying so bad to find original song to listen it but simply i couldnt, now im here 5y later and it feels so great, im almost crying cause listening to this song again after 5y. its so nice !
I just want to loop that "Can you remember the raaaaain" over and over again. Its like candy to my ears.

Lyrics
We used to play out in the rain
Your mother scolded us
She said that we were bad
(She said that we were bad)
I thought I'd better go on home (stepped it up and)
You watched till I was gone
Ooh, girl, you looked so sad
I picked you up when you fell and cut your knee
I told you not to cry and held you close to me
As I was running through the storm
To get my umbrella
I stopped in shock when I saw you
With another fellow, oh, wow
Can you remember the rain?
Can you remember the rain?
You left me for somebody else
Now I must face life by myself
You broke so many rules in school
I took the blame for you
I guess I was the fool
You used to sneak me notes in class
I winked my eye and laughed
Those days went by so fast
I've got remarks that torn us all apart
I'm still tryna put back the pieces to my heart
And I'll be crying your name, girl
Until my very last breath
'Cause my existence without you
Ain't nothing but a little death
Gosh
Can you remember the rain?
Can you remember the rain?
You left me for somebody else
Now I must face life by myself
Think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it

Cubie Ended up marrying my cousin
That's what's up
wish this was on Spotify so bad

I love how zoomers know nothing about downloading MP3's and listening to them on an MP3 player. I laugh my fucking ass off every time. @@azizkash286
@@azizkash286 what app do I use to do that or website??
Very beautiful song. One of the guys singing sounds like Michael Jackson when he was a kid.
makes me happy that mr pierre can look back on here and get some love, i wish more older artists would tell us stories for songs like that, both songs are are awesome
Thank you Anime I’m honored Im no comparison, most artist are giants meaning tons of hits we barely had two, and now the way I see the business just a speck of success is humbling and your always free no security no I own you or your name just my two cents , who doesn’t want to hit the lotto it’s the consequences that we don’t see nor hear because we don’t understand.
@@wakepe1 still, I'm honored sir, this song is a classic that inspired one of my favorites from Mario, proud to say my people did that
...plus, this music then made it's way back and I'm glad
@@wakepe1 can you guys please get this song on iTunes like omg I’ve been trying to buy it for so long now😭😭
Asking us to get music we did fifty years ago is like asking the Beatles for an autograph lol it is what it is and chat is a hidden gem glad our youth pulled it up our talent is ours and yours is yours thanks for making Ours yours.
Stack Bundles Peep Game Brought Me Here👼🏾#RIPStack
you musically Inclined I respect that
Chris GotDaStrap me too rip stack!
Same here, his song is called "Peep Game"...he was my favorite rapper before his death and we were born on the same day in the same year 10/21/1983 #RIPStackBundles
SHEEEEEK
pjdbro are you from Queens like him also? Lol
think this group got out shined by jackson 5 they were out at the same time, and I think the label did not have the financial backing like motown... Great song the lead could stand against Michael at that time....
Yes Sir this song actually out chartered the Jackson's at the time and B.G had the song shut down because he was bringing out the J5....
Actually this group under a slightly different name,(21st Creation) did eventually end up on Motown. But not much ever became of them.
Several groups had incredible young vocalist that sounded similar in tone... Such as,(Brighter side of Darkness)- LOVE JONES) And a group y'all should definitely check out by the name of (Butterscotch) with the song,something has got to change.
The Jackson 5 were in the middle of leaving Motown when this record was released
Same could be said about the "Five Stairsteps". Great group, one of their album was co-produced by Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hatthaway and Leroy Hutson!
This sounds like heaven! Took me alllllllllllllll the way back to my teen years! So nice, I had to hear it twice!! It was a magical time with the BEST MUSIC EVERRRRRRRRRRRR! #gottaLOVEthe70s
I met my son's father when I was 3 years old. He was going on 7. Never was able to be with him until I was 30, he was 34. This song brings back the 60s. Such a story. Just ask you'll be amazed. I'm 61.
THAT’S DOPE!!!
Wow, it's been more than 30 years that I've looked for this song. Thank you!!!! I heard it only a few times back in 1975, and of course, loved it!!!
In 1975 I heard this song in the gymnasium of Robert Clemente High School in Chicago. I never did find out the name of the song, but I never forgot it's melody. Thirty three years later, I finally found it on UA-cam. It's a testament to the beauty and greatness of the song that decades later I still remember the rain and the song.
11 years ago tony you here?
@@showtimegodee i think tony dead
@@prochainsnatcher 😔noooo
A days a thousand and a thousands a day I sung the lead on that original song at age 14 I’m now65 years young listening to you all compare me to a legend who had to many hits to list myself I’m grateful for one hit that fifty years later you would be singing and remaking not the Sylvers , Brighter side of Darkness Boys to men the Jackson 5 never would I have dreamed this but your even using my voice on your tracks I appreciate it so stop comparing and sing there hits as well and put there voices on your tracks hmm. PierreB
Thank you all for your comments about Remember the rain although some of you don't have a clue, were happy that Mario Chris,Nikki have sampled us and more importantly the voices your listening to on You left me for somebody else are ,our voices (21st Century) so to say who brought you here?It was the 21st C,and for those of you that are too young to know us ,your parents or grands in1974 had you while listening to us lol lead vocalist Pierre
Mr Pierre, I just came across this song today, and I’ve had it on repeat this whole time. Love everything about this record. I swear I have an old soul, lol. 💯👌🏾
Heard this song sampled and have been obsessed with it. Amazing work
You guys gotta put your a stuff on Spotify!!! ❤
@@Roslynn846 if it was a present song maybe but we are not trying to promote our music that was already done in starting back in 1974 that’s why it’s a classic thanks to the internet you can still find bit somewhere I have a song on iTunes album titled whispers from the underground number 14 Pierre Johnson and I can’t get it on Spotify but again I’m a vocalist not a promoter I stay in my lane and do what I can ( sing) iTunes song is called Saturday nite scru
@@MrElite_01 thank you king Elite
This has been my breakup song. It’s taken such a toll on me mentally and physically, but this song expresses every way I’m feeling. I miss and love her so much. this song eases the pain.
Love finding 💎 jewels like this. Never heard it
This style & genre of music will forever be missed. I'm on 19yrs old. This was way before my time, but it doesn't hurt to take a back seat ride through the time your parents grew up in.
Loved ❤
do you know many other songs like this? i 19 too and i love this song so much
I remember that I met them when I 25yrs they song this to me in birthday love you all. they went to school here in Chicago smile.
This is so beautiful. ..they play it every week for "Take me back Thursday"..I thought it was the Jackson 5..but it's real music....ONE of the best. .Mad Love...
I have always loved this song, always will. It was different back then when you had to sing and you didn't have auto tunes to make you sound good. Either you had it or you didn't. I treasure this music as I grew up with it and it makes me smile every time I listen. Can't find it to purchase it though...too bad. Enjoy family.
Stack bundles a rapper from New York that passed away sampled this years ago, it was always beautiful to me. The sample
MASTERPIECE if ur happy and u listen to this u become happier but if u listen to this and ur sad ur gonna be more sad
Such a classic. We sampled this song in high school and made a song out of it then I discovered the original song and been in love ever since
Stack Bundles- Peep Game. The Riot Squad sampled it as well. Amazing song!
I feel like I never heard real true music until I heard this song. I legitimately feel blessed hearing this.
Thank you
2025! BigXthaplug bought me here! He sampled this song..and I wanted to see what the original sounded like I'm feeling it🙌🏾
My mom and dad always sang this song to me when I was baby. Memories ❤️
Man, that was good singing back then, and the members sound very, very young. 1975 was a great time musically. Now I'm love with yet another HOTT track....
Renee satchel,if you think you love this I can hip you to plenty more that you've never heard. Trust me,it will blow your mind.
We used to play out in the rain
Your mother scolded us
She said that we were bad
I thought I better go on home
You watched 'til I was gone
Ooh, girl, you look so sad
I picked you up when you fell
And cut your knee
Told you not to cry
And held you close to me
Can you remember the rain
Can you remember the rain
You left me for somebody else
Now I must face life by myself
You broke so many rules in school
I took the blame for you
I guess I was a fool
You used to pass me notes in class
I'd winked my eye and laugh
Those days went by so fast
I got remarks
That tore me all apart
Still trying to put back the pieces to my heart
Can you remember the rain
Can you remember the rain
You left me for somebody else
Now I must face life by myself
Can you remember the rain (think about it, think about it, think about it)
Can you remember the rain
You left me for somebody else
Now I must face life by myself
I grew up in Chicago everyone at James McCosh school now Emmet TILL thought they could sing this, we loved it .
I will always remember my dad slapping this when I was a kid in his 55 Chevy ahhhhh memories
Man this makes my soul shake everytime I hear this...it's ashame they don't make em like this but that's why they call this a "classic"!!!!!
well I'm Mexican and I love this type of music good old memories; )🎵🎶
+aleks cruz all races and cultures will be able to relate to this brand of music because it comes from a place where race and culture has no hold. OUR BEATING HEARTS AND THE BLOOD THAT FLOWS from our veins.
+aleks cruz Thank you brother, one love.
+Pierre Johnson. Hi Pierre I just watched your video

I can't get enough of this song! Thank you so much for uploading this song!
This music will never die out ...2018 and on still vibing to this ...
Here from YogscastPanda.
Beautiful song. Thank you for making it.
My dad is Charley Sr I'm jr. 45yeas young and the bsy of six. Going out of town when I was a kid was a blessing this song is a gem. And because of Sr. I have so much inventory in my mind of classics of different genres endless music for my soul. I wake up to an automatic brain Playlist everyday and I just go along with it..
I'm 46 years old and I've been listening to oldies since I was probably 11 years old and I'm into the real underground stuff not the mainstream played out songs and this right here has always been my favorite
My oldest son is your age so that song could be the reason for a lot of folks born after 1975
this is a great song im a young guy 33yrs old this tells you the quality of music they made during my mom and dads era and now
I was born after, but I listen to a lot of 60’s and 70’s era music and I can’t believe I hadn’t heard this until now. Thank you to the beautiful Kadhja Bonet for covering it and leading me to find this original. It’s amazing!
This song will be at my wedding ♥
legendary top 5 for sure hidden gold. i could really feel thing song its painful but beautiful and i live for this
It just brings tears to my eyes .Old school music is the best.
This song brings back so many great memories of the 70's
Love this,my daughters love this too,14,16,18..they play it in their bedrooms getting ready for school and I'm like 💜💜💜💜
I've heared this song exactly 5years ago, ive been trying so bad to find original song to listen it but simply i couldnt, now im here 5y later and it feels so great, im almost crying cause listening to this song again after 5y.
