"Summer Rain" is a song written by James Hendricks and performed by American musician Johnny Rivers on his 1968 LP Realization. Of his several dozen releases, it is considered his sixth greatest hit internationally.[2] It reached No. 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100, No. 6 on the US Cash Box Top 100, and No. 10 in Canada in early January, 1968.[3] "Summer Rain" is about lifelong love during "the summer of love" of 1967. It was released in the late fall, as a reminiscence of the previous summer. The song references Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Beatles album which was released during May of that year.
