RAINBOW IN MY DREAMS...TOMMY SCOTT

[mariana44]

"MAKE ME RAINBOWS" .... MAUREEN MCGOVERN

[Lena & Harry Smith]

SHE'S A RAINBOW..THE ROLLING STONES.

[ROBERT M.]

How did you know that one L&H ??

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Bought this album around the 70s Robert for our son who liked the Stones music. We liked some of the songs too.
I like to watch Mick Jagger . I think it's hilarious.

RAINBOW AT MIDNIGHT ..LEE RUSSELL.

[Gray]

I LOVE She's A Rainbow by The Stones, Lena.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Yes, we like the way the beat changes unexpectedly Gray on this one.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

RAINBOW DOLL.. JIMMY DELL.

I think we may have come to the end of the Rainbow---but we found 20 songs --which is way more than I expected-and Paul Williams was right when he wrote "Why are there so many songs about rainbows"

Well done everyone !!

[mariana44]

Just heard another song today, while I was out with the dogs--

"SING ME A RAINBOW" ASTRUD GILBERTO---that is 21 Rainbow songs.

[Sandra]

Just to finish off I was looking in an edition of The Guiness Book Of Hit Singles
and there are several 'Rainbow' titles that I have never heard of!

RAINBOW-------------- PETERS AND LEE
RAINBOW CHASER------------- NIRVANA
RAINBOW CHILD-------------- DAN REED NETWORK
RAINBOW COUNTRY----------- BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS
RAINBOW IN THE DARK------------ DIO
RAINBOW LAKE ------------------ WENDY AND LISA
RAINBOW PEOPLE----------------- MANIX
RAINBOW THEME-FROZEN RAINBOW-- SAXON
RAINBOWS OF COLOUR------ GROOVERIDER

all minor 'hits' in the top 100 charts.

[mariana44]

Thanks Sandra--that is amazing --30 Rainbow songs!!

I guess we must have them all by now.

One more Marian, "Rainbow" is a track on Madness' latest album
