'Flowers in the Rain' is a song by the sixties Rock band The Move.
The song was released as a single and reached number two in 1967. The song is famous for being the first ever song to played on BBC Radio One by Tony Blackburn.
It was released with a cartoon of a naked Harold Wilson. Wilson sued, and an out-of-court settlement was reached where all royalties from this song were donated to a charity of Wilson's choice. This legal arrangement remains in force to this day.
The song has been covered by Nancy Sinatra.
