Ann Peebles — “I Can’t Stand The Rain”

"One of the most legendary intros ever. It’s crazy how Missy Elliott took that 'raindrop' riff 24 years later for 'The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)' and turned it into another masterpiece. Ann Peebles’ influence is eternal! 🌧️🔥"

Reverend Al Greene’s ex, one of the greatest Soul Singers and Sonwriters of all time.

Missy: "Me I'm supafly, supa dupa fly." Me at the back: "Beep beep! Who got the keys to my jeep. VROOOM!!!"

Choose your Queen (with legendary Kenny Moore)

Missy Elliott sampled this 🔥

When music was music, respect of the way one dressed,and all the audience had to do was focus on the perfection of the voice..not 500 thousand dancers and lights, making a chaotic stage with mediocre voices

Has to be Al Green’s studio musicians behind Ann Peebles… and her vocals rise to the occasion - always loved that recording!

Complex human emotions that large segments of our population no longer feels.

ah so that's the song zed's dead sampled for sweet memories

Timbaland is a fucking genius

Love this! 🙌 Toots Hibbert did an adaptation that’s really great too

I love this song ‼️even tina Turners version

old school best school 👍

missy elliot sample this song in 1997...

I like how she mosies around the listeners while singing, cool vibe.

@EDIBLU @MissyElliott What’s the story with Tim sampling this? Was he riding in the car and heard it? Was he going through his parent’s crate of records? I still think this sample is insane.

When the intro started I thought of this song…..

what a song !

Wow 🤩 it’s been forever since I’ve heard this song 🎶

"Memories"

Ah, Ann Peebles timeless. That song doesn’t just play, it drips into your soul. Every note hits like nostalgia in slow motion, and the groove? Pure heartbreak poetry wrapped in velvet. A masterclass in feeling every drop of the rain… and loving it. 🌧️❤️

I really love this song. Merry Christmas 🎅

I prefer Tina Turner's version. It's got more bite.

Graham Central Station put out a good version too!

They all looked confused , No vibes

So dope 🔥

A real masterpiece

Tina usually does the definitive versions of her covers but I think Ann’s OG is better.

Real entertainers & musical artist.
