Love Unlimited, Barry White

About Walkin' in the Rain with the One I Love

Walkin' in the Rain with the One I Love was an R&B single in 1972 for the soul trio Love Unlimited, a studio group created by singer/producer Barry White. The main vocalists were female singers Glodean James, her sister, Linda James, and their cousin Diane Taylor. Glodean would eventually become White's wife in 1974; the couple would split up in 1988, though they never divorced. The song is notable for White's vocal appearance as a voice on the telephone. The lush sound and romantic atmosphere led to this becoming Love Unlimited's first hit record, eventually rising to #14 both on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 and in the UK, as well as reaching #6 on the Soul Singles chart in the spring of 1972. The record sold over a million copies, thus receiving a gold record for its sales. It would precede White's debut as a solo act on the Billboard charts by one year, when he hit #1 R&B with "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby" in May 1973. more »

Walkin' In The Rain With The One I Love
Love Unlimited Orchestra
He is following me
See you tomorrow

See you on Monday
OK, girl
Oh, don't be, don't be late
It Starts to rain

The sure is
Everybody is trying to get out the rain
Oh It feels so good
The rain and thinking of you

So as I get home, I'm gonna call you
And tell you how much I love you
Oh I feel so good
OH, I can walk in the rain with the one I love

Feel so fine,
Walking in the rain with the one I love
All mine
Two years is all I have

Didn't say
Well I got mine in so many ways
Living together
Whether near or far,

It doesn't matter where you are
So we love each other
Giving love so warm and free
Make our trade a reality

Then it'll last forever and ever
With every step we take and every
Breath we make, darling, just you and me
OH, I can walk in the rain with the one I love

Feel so fine,
Walking in the rain with the one I love
All mine
So we love each other

With every passed day we share
To follow someone
Just being together
Making love so tenderly

Explode to the extasis
Then it'll last forever and ever
Together we hold the key
To make for ever our destiny

OH, I can walk in the rain with the one I love
Feel so fine,
Walking in the rain with the one I love
All mine

I'm gonna call you right now
Dear, I hope he is home
Hello
Baby, I'm home

I've got something to tell you
What?
I love you
Oh, I love you too

Did you come out the rain?
Oh yes,It was so beautiful
Let me tell you how it started
Walking in the rain with the one I love
