I Can’t Stand The Rain

The original version was an R&B track recorded by Ann Peebles. She co-wrote the song. It was released in 1973. The single cracked the American Pop Top 40 and peaked at #6 R&B. 

Tina Turner released a new remake of the song for the 1984 album 'Private Dancer'. Her version proved popular in Europe.
