              "A delicate, slinky figure with a
              powerhouse voice, Ann Peebles occupied
              a special place among the many great
              talents that roamed the halls of
              Memphis iconic R&B label Hi Records in
              the 1960s and 1970s. While producer
              Willie Mitchell was the company's
              heart, musicians the Hodges Brothers
              its soul and Al Green its top star, it
              was Peebles who gave the label its
              first national success and a lasting
              female identity. Over the course of
              seven albums and dozens of singles for
              Hi, Peebles expressed a complex range
              of moods and emotions in her music. Her
              songs were alternately pleading ("I
              Needed Somebody") and defiant ("I Pity
              The Fool"), seductive ("Being Here With
              You") and destructive ("I'm Gonna Tear
              Your Playhouse Down") but always
              utterly soulful. Released in 1973, "I
              Can't Stand The Rain" would provide the
              title track and foundation for Peebles'
              breakthrough album. Defined by
              Mitchell's evocative production touches
              - including the mesmerizing raindrop
              intro, played on a newly purchased
              studio gizmo, the electronic timbale -
              and some of Hi Rhythm's most supple
              grooves, the song was transformed into
              magic. "Everybody was putting in their
              ingredients," says Peebles. "That made
              it into something special." "I Can't
              Stand The Rain" would quickly become a
              Top Ten R&B hit and a Top 40 pop number
              and it earned the admiration of fellow
              artists like David Bowie and John
              Lennon; the ex-Beatle declared in
              Billboard that it was "the best song
              ever." The success of "Rain" would also
              net Peebles a Grammy nomination and
              send her touring across the world. "It
              certainly took my career to a different
              place," she notes. Peebles soon
              followed into a period of retirement in
              1979. "I stepped away," says Peebles,
              who would return a decade later to
              reunite with Mitchell for another
              album, "Call Me", before taking a
              series of other sabbaticals from the
              business. In the meantime, "I Can't
              Stand The Rain" would become a constant
              presence on the musical landscape,
              covered by myriad acts (Tina Turner,
              Seal) and sampled by everyone from
              Japanese pop groups (Pizzicato Five) to
              rap and hip hop artists (Missy
              Elliott). Even so many years later,
              Peebles remains, as she once
              proclaimed, "99 pounds of natural born
              goodness, 99 pounds of soul."
