Song of the Day: Laughter in the Rain, lyrics by Phil Cody, music by Neil Sedaka, released in October 1974, hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 four months later. Though the song was recorded by two previous artists in 1974, Sedaka was intent on issuing his own definitive rendition. With a saxophone solo by Jim Horn, the song is one of Sedaka’s classic pop hits. On this date in 1939, Sedaka was born. Though he died in February 2026, his robust discography lives on.
