Wendy Moten is the debut album by American R&B singer Wendy Moten, released in 1992. It features the song "Come In Out of the Rain", which, although a minor hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, was an Adult Contemporary smash, peaking at number 5. It had similar success in the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at number 8 when released in 1994.[2] A second single from the album was released in the UK that year, "So Close to Love", which reached number 35 in the Singles Chart.[3]
