That's Kentucky Rain.

You're gonna hate me but Elvis was never a favorite artist of mine.

I enjoy all genres and most artists, but I do have my favs.  Motown, Country, Oldies, Classical, etc.  Most of Elvis' music always seemed a little gimmicky to me.

I was never a huge Elvis fan either, but did like "Kentucky Rain." Now my mom and dad... that's a different story. They were both huge Elvis fans. Do you know who wrote "Kentucky Rain" ?

The person who wrote "Kentucky Rain" was someone Elvis liked a lot.  The writer had a thing for rain, apparently.  In fact, he loved a rainy night.

I will forever link this song with the summer. It peaked on the charts in July of the bicentennial year. I can remember playing basketball outside my grandparents house all that summer.

"You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin'

And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her..."
