When the Rain Begins to Fall

"When the Rain Begins to Fall" is a 1984 song written and composed by Peggy March, Michael Bradley, and Steve Wittmack, recorded by singers Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora, and released as a US single at the beginning of 1985 (In Europe in October, 1984). The song was performed in the movie Voyage of the Rock Aliens,[1] in which Zadora played a lead role. Before being released in the US, this track went to number one in several European countries. The song failed to capitalize its European success in America, but did better on the US dance charts (at #22).
