If Al Green was the the reigning king of soul at Memphis-based Hi Records in the
'70s, then labelmate Ann Peebles was the queen. Together with genius producer
Willie Mitchell and his great studio band, Peebles crafted some of the most
unforgettable and enduring creations of the 1970s. Her spare, haunting 1973 hit,
"I Can't Stand the Rain," swiftly would become an oft-covered, oft-sampled soul
standard.

Long before a solo recording career beckoned Ann Peebles supported the legendary
Soul Stirrers on tour. The experience proved inspirational, the group featuring as it
did the magical Sam Cooke. Later she would make a great Queen to Al Green's King
at Hi Records where she recorded a series of great singles and 7 albums. Amongst
that work was 'I Can't Stand The Rain', a record which John Lennon described as 'the greatest single ever'. You'll find it here with much more. The finest budget priced introduction to the Soul and Funk Queen of Hi Records available. Features the
hits and 'I Can't Stand The Rain' and 'I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down' plus
great versions of the Soul classic 'Make Me Yours' and the Funk hardy perennial
'It's Your Thing.
