Many people enjoy listening to recordings of "September in the Rain" by legends such as Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, and others. The lyrics describe the rain as being a sweet refrain, a reminder of a love affair that happened during a September in the past. Dinah Washington’s strong voice and blues style add something special to this standard song. Other qualities she brings to it, like timing, a certain crispness, and clear enunciation (which can be heard on all of her recordings), enable Dinah to own "September in the Rain."
