September in the Rain is a traditional pop tune written by Harry Warren and Al Dubin, published in 1937 by Remick Music. It tells a nostalgic story of rainy days and memories. The song was introduced by James Melton in the 1937 film Melody for Two and was first recorded in 1937 by Shep Fields and His Rippling Rhythm Orchestra. It became a hit that year with three charted versions by Guy Lombardo, James Melton, and the Rhythm Wreckers. The tune has since become a standard and was the title track of Dinah Washington's album September in the Rain (1960). The Beatles even cut a rock version during their 1962 Decca audition. It has been covered by many artists across decades, cementing its place in traditional pop and jazz standards.
