"Rhapsody in the Rain" is a song written by Twyla Herbert and Lou Christie and performed by Christie with backing vocals by The Delicates. It reached #10 in Canada,[1] #16 on the Billboard Hot 100, #37 in the UK, and #40 in Australia in 1966.[2] It was featured on his 1966 album, Painter of Hits.[3]

The song was produced and arranged by Charlie Calello.[4]

Many radio stations banned the song due to the controversial lyrics. MGM had Christie re-record the songs' opening lyrics to release a "clean" version.
