Singin' in the Rain
singing in the rain
Written by Nacio Herb Brown, with lyrics by Arthur Freed, Singin' in the Rain is a long-popular song published in 1929. First performed by Doris Eaton Travis in The Hollywood Music Box Revue (1929), the song became a hit and has been covered by many artists.
Cliff Edwards recorded Singin' in the Rain, and he performed it in the early musical film The Hollywood Revue of 1929. It was also performed on film by Jimmy Durante (in Speak Easily, 1932) and Judy Garland (in Little Nellie Kelly, 1940). The song is probably now best known as the centerpiece of the 1952 musical film Singin' in the Rain, in which Gene Kelly danced to the song while splashing through puddles during a rainstorm. In 2004, Singin' in the Rain ranked number three on the American Film Institute's list of the top one-hundred songs in American cinema.
