“Rainy Night In Georgia” #4 3/7/1970

Brook Benton’s dad had been a Methodist church choir director in South Carolina, so his love of music came naturally. Brook saw chart success in the pre-British Invasion days but went without a Top 40 record since 1963 until this one, though he had a number of R&B hits. This Tony Joe White tune became Benton’s last pop hit before he passed away in 1988.
