Come Rain or Come Shine - Ray Charles - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Come Rain or Come Shine" is a jazz standard originally written by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Johnny Mercer, penned for the 1946 Broadway musical St. Louis Woman, which was based on the novel God Sends Sunday by Harlem renaissance-era writer Arna Bontemps. "Come Rain or Come Shine" was introduced in the Broadway musical by Ruby Hill and Harold Nicholas and later given a new lease of life by Ray Charles, who covered the hopelessly romantic track (“I’m gonna love you like nobody’s loved you”) in 1959 for his LP The Genius of Ray Charles. The LP combines six big band jazz & R&B with six elegant string ballads from jump blues opener "Let the Good Times Roll"—a tribute to Louis Jordan, who first recorded the song—and "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin'" (also popularised by Louis Jordan) to "Two Years of Torture” and “When Your Lover Has Gone,” and features the talents of trumpeter Marcus Belgrave (on "Two Years of Torture") among other guests.
