February 10th 2012 I was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer I was also given a 10% chance that I would survive! 4 days into my hospital stay it had rained outside and I remember asking God, you get me out of this sane and alive and I will never take for granted another rainy day. Well I survived cancer and I'm coming up on my 10-year anniversary and with keeping my promise when it's storming outside I still find laughter in the rain! Still listening January 29th 2022 ❤️🎶❤️

On Friday, December 7,1974 I went out on my first date with my wife to the North Forty in Ithaca. I took her home at about 2:00am. Went home and couldn’t sleep. At about8:00am I missed her so much I went over to her apartment woke her up, she got dressed and we took a nice long walk through the streets of Cortland,NY in a slow steady drizzle. We were so in love and this song had just come out and we to this day feel like it was written for that day! Got married on August 9, 1975! Thank you Neil Sedaka!

I grew up NW burbs of Chicago in the 70’s as well. I used to watch my dad shave while WLS was on the bathroom radio. But after he left I turned on WBMX for some soul and dance music.

We are divided and unfortunately today’s music isn’t bringing us together. We need Marvin more today than ever before.

Country music has no relevance to Rock & Roll. Similar to Jazz vs. Rock & Roll, Disco vs. Rock & Roll, etc. They're different genres = not the same. Anyone can say, "Well, it's music," but if people want to honour someone by inducting her or him to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it better be a Rock & Roll musician. If he or she isn't a Rock & Roll musician, then it's obvious (to people who don't need a reality check) that the person involved doesn't belong there. Simple

And you probably have, believe it or not, Sir Elton John for it. Back in the early 70's, Neil's career wasn't going very far due to the music climate at the time and Elton was like a major Neil Sedaka fan. They happened to bump into each other at a party or a convention or someplace like that and Elton had, at the time, his Rocket Records (his vanity label like Apple was for the Beatles, Grunt Records was for the Jefferson Starship, etc) and when Elton found out Neil didn't have a record contract said come over and record for me. He did and the first song released from those sessions was Bad Blood which Elton did background vocals on (which is kind of obvious if you pay attention during the chorus) and I believe it hit #1. Not long, Laughter in the Rain came out and was a major #1 hit. I almost want to say Elton did background vocals on that song to and I think I MIGHT hear them but not 100% sure. I am sure he didn't but still would not be surprised if he did and the vocals are just kind of buried deep in the mix as I am sure Elton might not have even wanted Neil to have two hits in a row with his (Elton's) background vocals on it being obvious with the way I heard Elton's ego was at least at the time. Kind of like, love ya mate but not at the risk of my OWN career!! lol Personally, I like both songs but think Laughter is a WAY better song than Bad Blood was and will listen to that song 10 times in a row before I listen to Bad Blood once. That's my story and I am sticking to it. :)

So did I! I still feel extremely happy when I listen to this song! And I too am 73 !😍😍😍

What memories as a 9 year old child listening to this song in our family car, the smell of the leather seats as the sun warms them, with the windows rolled down and just a hint of petrol and my dad's cigarette; my mom's gentle perfume and hairspray mixing in! Apologies for being GUSHY but MAN, how music literally takes you back in time! Perhaps Albert Einstein had something there ! 😍🤔😉

KZread. The place we come to calm our nerves and remember what it was once like, so long ago, when great true artists ruled the airwaves, like Sedaka. Today's music is garbage compared to the golden era of AM pop and new music makes me ill inside and angry. Thank you KZread for letting us go back and remember these great pop icons, when humanity was full force.

I was born in 1966, and I remember hearing this song for the first time as a teenager in the early '80s. To me, this has always been an incredibly beautiful song that is also a little bit sad. This song is timeless, it was just as beautiful when first played in 1975 as it is now in 2024.

One of the most unforgettable songs of all time 😍🤩

One of the best chorus entries in pop songwriting history. When it hits that key change going into “ooo...I hear laughter in the rain...”, it takes off like a rocket! And Neil’s voice is perfect for that moment. Brilliant! Thank you Neil and Phil for this great hit! 🎶❤️

Exactly! That key change up a min 3rd lifts the chorus beautifully. A nice discreet shift back into the original key for the next verse allows him to repeat the trick for the subsequent choruses. (big shift up, sneaky shift back) Very clever songwriting going on under the hood in a lot of Mr Sedaka's songs.
