abstract
  • %22%22Lizzie and the Rainman%22 is as song written by Kenny O'Dell and Larry Henley which was a #1 C&W hit for Tanya Tucker in 1975.A narrative song as was typical for the first phase of Tucker's career, %22Lizzie and the Rainman%22 relates how a rainmaker visiting a drought-sticken Texas town woos a skeptical local woman named Lizzie Cooper . The idea for the song came from the film The Rainmaker whose heroine is named Lizzie Curry.Written in 1971, %22Lizzie and the Rainman%22 had been recorded in 1972 by Bobby Goldsboro, Alex Harvey (composer of Tucker's breakout hit %22Delta Dawn%22) and by the Hollies (as %22Lizzy and the Rainman%22) as well as Kenny O'Dell himself, who had an unsuccessful single release of %22Lizzie and the Rainman%22.Tanya Tucker recorded her vocal for %22Lizzie and the Rainman%22 in a 19 March 1975 session [1] in Los Angeles produced by Snuff Garrett; Tucker would recall: %22the recording was so impersonal. I was used to recording live with all the musicians in the studio, and I just sang to the tracks on this one.%22 Released as the lead single from the album Tanya Tucker - which marked Tucker's MCA Records debut - %22Lizzie and the Rainman%22 was Tucker's fourth C&W #1 and was also the first Tanya Tucker's single to reach the Pop Top 40 reaching #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1975. A #7 A/C hit, %22Lizzie and the Rainman%22 would prove to be Tucker's only Pop hit despite her later recording material more specifically aimed at the Pop market; her one subsequent Hot 100 item %22Here's Some Love%22 peaked at #82.%22Lizzie and the Rainman%22 has also been recorded by Billie Jo Spears and - as %22Lizzy and the Rainman%22 - by the Cox Family.
