Eddie Rabbitt’s “I Love a Rainy Night” came out in 1980 and became his signature hit. Built on a rhythm of handclaps and a bright groove, it blended country with pop in a way that shot it to No. 1 on both the country and Billboard Hot 100 charts. Rabbitt said he wrote it years earlier, inspired by the peaceful sound of raindrops, then rediscovered the notes and finished it off. The song’s upbeat feel and smooth crossover appeal helped make Rabbitt one of the era’s biggest stars. #country | Honky
