Producer Willie Mitchell extended the famous gritty Memphis Stax sound by creating his own unmistakable style; facilitated by the talents of Al Green, Syl Johnson, O.V. Wright, and Ann Peebles.

Ann's "I Can't Stand The Rain," a song she co-wrote, is a classic soul masterpiece.

The St. Louis, Missouri native recorded the song with Mitchell in 1973. In 1992, Ann recorded an "unplugged" version that matches the original in stellar vocal prowess.

Watch the rare, unplugged version of Ann Peeble's I Can't Stand The Rain."
