Song of the Day: Fool in the Rain
Fool in the Rain by Led Zeppelin. Released in 1979 on In Through The Out Door, which was Zeppelin’s last album before drummer John Bonham passed and the band ended, this also just so happened to be the last single ever released by the band. Fool in the Rain is obviously a much different song than you are used to hearing by Led Zeppelin, but still good nonetheless. The idea for the song came from when some of the band members were watching the 1978 World Cup in Argentina and got the idea to make a song from a samba beat that they had heard, thus the Latin feel to the song. Among the many things that Led Zeppelin had, versatility was one of them and this is just one of many songs that proves it. Speaking of rain, if you’re in the Charlotte area that’s more than likely what you are waking up to this morning.
