Ann Peebles -I Can't Stand The Rain (Rare and Stripped Down)
Ann Peebles and her husband Don Bryant composed this song.Ann Peebles is mathematically speaking at the intersection of three different sets. First is the set of all singers who in my opinion can't do a song badly. Second the are all singers who use their natural voices to sing. No forcing or silly histrionics. Thirdly they are in the set of singers I am happy to set my computer playing a 48 track compilation double cd playing on repeat all day! Footage of her singing live is all too rare so this live stripped down version is wonderful. This is all real music created in real time by the performers. No electronic gizmos . That's Ann's husband on the Wurlitzer keyboard. The petite lady just perches on a tall wooden stool and creates! I believe she is very light on her feet and that the song in which she says she's 99 pounds of Soul is her actual weight (45kg!) The second clip is a happier song and again is conversational in style.
