Just Walkin' In The Rain
While Guy Mitchel's "Singing The Blues" was top-charting in America during the Christmas month, fellow American Johnnie Ray was holding the #1 spot for 7 consecutive weeks (November - December 1956) in UK with his version of "Just Walkin' In The Rain."
The song was written in 1952 by Johnny Brag and Robert Riley, two prisoners at Tennessee State Prison in Nashville.
Bragg and his band, The Prisonaires, later recorded the song for Sun Records and it became a minor hit on the R&B chart in 1953. However, it was Johnnie Ray who took the song to #1 in UK and #2 on US Billboard chart in 1956.
Lyrics:
Just walking in the rain
Getting soaking wet
Torturing my heart by trying to forget
Just walking in the rain
So alone and blue
All because my heart still remembers you
People come to their windows,
They always stare at me
Shaking their heads in sorrow
Saying, Who can that fool be
Just walking in the rain
Thinking how we met
Knowing things have changed
Somehow I can't forget.
