Having been enamoured with Mr Bryson's beautiful ballad 'If Ever You're in My Arms Again', I was eager to have one of his cds. A friend kindly bought me 'Can You Stop the Rain' as a birthday gift and I have to say it is one of my most listened to albums. It is soothing, romantic, beautifully sung and the songs are so lovely. I have since purchased other Peabo Bryson albums and they are all wonderful. Mr Bryson's music is certainly synonymous with class.

Words fail me when it comes to describing my absolute favourite male singer EVER. This guy has to be heard to be believed. It's incredible how smooth and silky his voice is and his music makes you melt. I was lucky enough to see him live in Las Vegas in 2000 at the Blue Note and I thought I was in heaven. This cd is incredible. Lost In The Night would have to be one of the most beautiful songs in the universe. Can You Stop The Rain is also beautiful and sad. He sings with such amazing emotion and sex appeal. This is a great bedroom cd. The only song on here I don't like is the remake of Soul Provider. I think that belongs only to Michael Bolton. Anyway; if you are a soul fan and don't have this - what's wrong with you? You have to own this and experience this superb talent for yourself. He is unfortunately so underrated, but better than anyone else out there.

You will absolutely love this music from Mr. Bryson. Always fabulous, always enchanting, his voice will leave you SHAKEN!! Check out these wonderful tracks: Lost in the Night, Can You Stop the Rain, and of course, Shower You With Love. I still play this CD endlessly after 7 years!

The first time i heard this album was when i saw it in a record store about 4 years ago here in Amsterdam, at that time i was 18 years old and only knew him from his duet Beauty and the beast with CELINE DION this is realy one of the best soul CD's in my collection, it opens very softly with the song Lost in the night and becomes more and more a powerful lovesong especialy with the bridge in the middle The title track Can you stop the rain is probaly one of the most beautiful lovesongs of the early 90's and the album just go's on and on being not only good for those romantic moments,but also for listening to it with full atention with a headphone on and just listen to the soft soul clasic voice of Mr. Bryson. The album also contains a cover of the Michael Bolton classic " Soul provider" a title that fits this CD. If you are into Vandross than you'll sure like Bryson!

Mr. Bryson has wonderful material on this cd. He is an outstanding singer and I listen to this cd over and over. Would recommend it. Much better than this stuff they call music today.

you're into this groove. Mr Bryson takes you to smooth heaven with this polished performance. I don't think he's ever sounded better. A great collection of tunes from start to finish, and you don't want to miss any of these treats. Nice back in the day lyrics (I prefer the understated rather than "in your face"), a velvet voice, and great production. As been said before, it really doesn't get any better than this. Possibly his best.

Maybe if I bought the newer collections, I'd enjoy it more. This is the 1991 recordings of the albums so the songs aren't that good in quality. too bad for me. I didn't know. Anyway, it's still good. My favorites are: "Can you stop the rain", "Lost in the Night", "Soul Provider" and "Closer than Close".

...I just have to adjust the volume controls to better my liking with this CD, to make it okay and more enoyable. I don't have to do this with the other music CDs I have.

When Peabo sings, he doesn't plead nor does he beg, he makes you see things from his point of view, your stubborn heart will eventually melt under his romantic charms, he certainly has a way with his voice, I regard him as one of the premier balladers (alongside Luther Vandross & James Ingram) that the world has ever experienced.

With a Peabo album, you get more than you deserve - a quality album & his words of wisdom which you'll find on the CD inlay.

All tracks on this CD are of very high standard, what you get is a very refined vocal delivery, it is very difficult to single out a particular track, but my favourites on this CD are the album title, shower you with love, I wish you love, you don't have to beg, if it's really love & I can't imagine.

For those of you, who will be alone tonight, you need Peabo's album to minister to your heart. Can you stop the rain from falling?

I so love to hear Peabo sign - I bought the CD just to listen to the title tune. He is an excellent arist.

One of the master singers of the soul ballad at his best. Every song on this CD is a gem and "Closer Than Close", "Shower You With Love", "If It's Really Love", "Lost In The Night" and the hit title track are among the very best songs Peabo ever recorded. This CD revived Peabo's career and is an excellent choice for helping to set the mood for a romantic candlelight dinner for two.
