"What Have They Done to the Rain" is a song by Malvina Reynolds. Composed in
1962 and first entitled "Rain Song", it was written as part of a campaign to
stop nuclear testing in the atmosphere, which was producing fall-out.
The song was recorded by The Searchers, The Seekers, Marianne Faithfull, Joan Baez and Melanie. I learned it from Joan Baez. Other songs by Malvina Reynolds in this section are: "The Bankers and the Diplomats" "Billy Boy (parody)" "I Want to Go to Andorra" "It Isn't Nice" "Little Boxes" |
