"Tell It to the Rain" is a song composed by Mike Petrillo and Chubby Cifelli and popularized by The Four Seasons in 1966 and early 1967. The single reached the #10 position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[1]
The song's arrangement includes a prominent 12-string electric guitar part, as well as sound effects and a crescendo of vocals toward the end.
