"Lluvia De Primavera", released in America as "Spring Rain", is an instrumental composition by Bebu Silvetti.[1]
Released in 1975 the single did not receive airplay and chart in the USA until January 1977 when, driven by popularity in discos, it reached #39, joining the list of 1970s one-hit wonders in the United States. The single charted in South Africa in June 1977 at #4. The album version is longer than the original 1975 single version, which covered only the Hispavox A-side, with "Travel Check" on the B-side. In March 1977 Polydor Germany issued the album version split over 2 x 7" sides for discotheque use as "Spring Rain Part I / Part II".
The single has been reissued on many compilations, such as Salsoul Jam 2000, and sampled on songs including Shangri-La (Denki Groove song), and Helter Stupid.
TV themes
The tune was used as the theme of The Love Experts, and in Jackpot (game show), and The Big Spin.
