Rain Or Shine is the name of a 1986 hit single by British pop group Five Star, peaking at UK #2 in September of that year and later becoming their biggest-selling 7 inch with over 250,000 sales recorded. It was held off the top spot for three weeks by British pop band The Communards with the year's biggest selling song "Don't Leave Me This Way". It spent a total of 10 weeks inside the UK top 75, five of those inside the top 10.
Rain Or Shine was also the seventh hit to mention David Bowie's fictitious hero Major Tom in the line of the second verse: "Robin Hood and Major Tom; all the super-heroes rolled into one"...
The title of the album Silk And Steel was taken from the next line of the same verse: "Silk and Steel, that's the way you feel, and how I love you now; rain or shine"...
