Kirsten Kendrick and Nick Morrison (2009-12-14)
SEATTLE, WA (KPLU) - What is it about rain that stirs our creative juices? A lot of songs have been written about the rain. And what better time than one of the rainiest periods of the year to listen to some of the best rain songs? KPLU's Nick Morrison compiled a list for our Web site and NPR's Web site, and he talked with KPLU's Kirsten Kendrick about some of the songs on that list.


Nick Morrison's five songs about rain:

Singin' In The Rain - Gene Kelly - That's Entertainment - The Best of the MGM Musicals
Let It Rain - Patricia Barber - Modern Cool
Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall - Ella Fitzgerald (with the Ink Spots) - Ella And Friends
Soon It's Gonna Rain/Here's That Rainy Day - Mel Torme and Buddy Rich - Together Again for the First Time
