Ann Peebles (born April 27, 1947, in St. Louis, Missouri) is an internationally acclaimed singer and songwriter best known for her popular Memphis soul albums of the 1970s on the Hi Records label. Two of her better known songs are "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" and "I Can't Stand the Rain", popularised by cover versions by Paul Young and Eruption respectively. This song is from her 1972 album entitled 'Straight From The Heart'. This is one of my favourites from the album. By the way, this has been enhanced by me, slightly. Cover art with my link on was made by me. I hope you enjoy! - JLG

Jun 28, 2008 - It isn't too popular? Well, at the present time, uh, no, but those who 'get' it, 'get' it, and those who don't just happen to have tin ears, hard hearts, and not much sense of rhythm.

Jun 28, 2008 - The thing is, when it was released it wasn't popular, so people just don't know about it - Ann Peebles didn't have many significant hits anyway. Such a shame. I have some GREAT soul that I would love to post but there just isn't enough interest, though I might do another time.
