Good-morning, my lovelies! I hope you’re not getting wet this Saturday. We are under the threat of thunderstorms all day. One of country music’s most popular and influential artists performed a rainy day song hit in 1980 and it is always the first to pop in my mind. Let’s give a listen to Ronnie Milsap’s Smoky Mountain Rain.
In the mid-70s, Milsap released this next song and I remember thinking, “How can anyone sing about thinking about sex during the day and then…” Well, my little naïve brain had no clue that this is really stays in a man’s thoughts 24/7.
Take the Long Way Home Around the World came out in 1979 and hit the charts at #1 in both the US & Canada.
July 1977, It Was Almost Like a Song topped the Billboard Magazine Hot Country Songs chart…
What A Difference You Made in My Life two artists from in 1977 recorded this song. First by a young Amy Grant from her self entitled début album, but it was Milsap in November of the same year who was best known for making this his second #1 hit.
