Just Walking in The Rain

Written 1952 by Johnny Bragg and Robert Riley two prisoners at Tennessee State Prison in Nashville. Bragg was convicted of six charges of rape, which were later recanted or considered falsified. Bragg joined up with two prison gospel singers, Ed Thurman and William Stewart (each doing 99 years for murder), and two new penitentiary arrivals, John Drue Jr. (3 years, larceny) and Marcell Sanders (1-5, involuntary manslaughter)! You couldn’t make it up!! Johnny Ray reached No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 in the UK for seven weeks.
