Singin' When The Levee Breaks
J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!
This chart combines two well-known songs from 1929--the blues classic "When The Levee Breaks", and the iconic Broadway number "Singin' In The Rain." The arrangement is based on the Led Zeppelin version, with perhaps the most famous drumbeat in rock history. A heavy slide guitar riff completes the stormy sound, against which your singers can let loose their loudest rock belt! This dramatic number would work well either as an opener or a change-of-pace, for any figurative or literal stormy moment.
**Sync, streaming performance, and master licenses are ALL included with the purchase of this arrangement.**
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

If it keeps on raining, the levee's gonna break If it keeps on raining, the levee's gonna break When the levee breaks, we'll have no place to stay Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move Don't it make you feel bad When you're trying to find your way home You don't know which way to go? If you're goin' down south They got no work to do If you're goin' on to Chicago I'm singing in the rain Just singing in the rain What a glorious feeling I'm happy again I'm laughing at clouds So dark up above The sun's in my heart An' I'm ready for love Let the stormy clouds chase Everyone from the place Come on with the rain! Keep on raining I'm singing in the rain On with the rain Keep on raining (Led Zeppelin)
