出道已50年，迄今仍在巡迴演唱的Johnny Rivers，當然是推出過不少的專輯和單曲，而從頭到尾，卻是只有一首冠軍歌曲《Poor Side of Town》( 見亂談110 )。不過進榜的有29首，前40名的有17首，前10名的也有9首，總括來說，成績還算是不錯的了。 

Johnny Rivers自己唱歌沒得過什麼大獎，後來開唱片公司 ( Soul City Records )，身為The Fth Dimension ( 五度空間合唱團 ) 的唱片製作人，因該團的兩首冠軍曲，反而使他得到了葛萊美獎。 

這首1968的《Summer Rain》，雖然只獲得告示牌排行榜第14名，但卻是Johnny Rivers少數幾首被人熟知的熱門曲之一。 

 

 

Summer rain taps at my window
West wind soft as a sweet dream
My love warm as the sunshine
Sittin' here by me, she's here by me-ee-ee
She stepped out of the rainbow
Golden hair shinin' like moon glow
Warm lips soft as a soul
Sittin' here by me, she's here by me-ee-ee
All summer long we spent dancin' in the sand
And the jukebox kept on playin'
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
We sailed into the sunset
Drifted home caught by a gulf stream
Never gave a thought for tomorrow
Just let tomorrow be, now, let tomorrow be-ee-ee

instrumental interlude

She wants to live in the Rockies
She says that's where we'll find peace
Settle down, raise up a fam'ly
To call our own, yeah, well have a home
All summer long we spent groovin' in the sand
Everybody kept on playin'
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The snow drifts by my window
North wind blowin' like thunder
Our love's burnin' like fire
And she's here by me, yeah, she's here with me-ee-ee
Let tomorrow be-ee-ee-ee
