Song of the Day: Soon It’s Gonna Rain

The song of the day for Sunday, April 12, 2026, is “Soon It’s Gonna Rain.”

About This Song

“Soon It’s Gonna Rain” was written by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones for the off-Broadway musical The Fantasticks, which opened in 1960 and ran for astounding 42 years and 17,162 performances at the Sullivan Street Playhouse.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Soon It’s Gonna Rain” on March 16, 1962, for On The Glory Road. Just before the intended release date, the album was canceled (it was included in Bennett’s 2011 Complete Collection and is also available on streaming services). The recording was release two years later on The Many Moods of Tony as well as the 1971 album Love Story. Ralph Sharon wrote the arrangement.

“Soon It’s Gonna Rain,” as well as On The Glory Road, is available on Apple Music.
