"I Can't Stand the Rain" is a song written and originally recorded by Ann Peebles. The song would become her biggest hit single (#6 R&B and #38 Pop in the United States in 1973) and one of her most recognizable songs.

The song has been frequently covered and sampled since its release in 1973. One popular version was a disco-oriented remake by Eruption. This version became the group's biggest hit (#18 Pop in the U.S.) when it was released as a single in 1978.

Lowell George covered the song on his 1979 album "Thanks, I'll Eat it Here". The song was also covered by Bad Manners on their 1993 album "Fat Sound", and by Terry Manning added as a live version to the 2006 CD re-release of his album "Home Sweet Home."

The debut single by Missy Elliott, "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)", contains a sample from the song and it serves as the chorus.

A version of the song also appears on Sam Moore's 2006 album, "Overnight Sensational" with Wynonna, Bekka Bramlett, BeBe Winans and Billy Preston. John Lennon has been quoted as saying that the Ann Peebles version of "I Can't Stand the Rain" was his favourite record of all time.

Tina Turner version

"I Can't Stand The Rain" was also recorded by Grammy Award-winning singer Tina Turner for her 1984 "Private Dancer" album, released as the sixth single from the album in early 1985. The single's highest charting was in France where it peaked at #2. Turner's version of the song was also featured on the hit show Eve.
