Hit #1 R&B, #44 Pop. IMO this is one of their best songs.

It has that classic Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis 80s slow jam production style. Music video Live on Arsenio Hall

This New Edition tune helped popularize the “nayhoo” sound that became ubiquitous in ’90s R&B. “I did it on ‘Can You Stand the Rain’ and also ‘On Bended Knee’ [by Boyz II Men],” says Jam. “That was my go-to…” “…Ad-lib,” says Lewis, finishing Jam’s thought. Adds Jam: “I used to do the demo vocals when we would write a song — which everybody called blackmail tapes because they were so bad. It would feel like, ‘Oh, I might sing the sh— out of this.'”

Jam calls the single “a glue record psychologically” for the boy band because it was the first to feature new member Johnny Gill. Prior to making the song, Jam and Lewis sat the group down and said, “This ain’t your group, Johnny. You’re not going to really do any singing.” Gill replied, “That’s cool with me. I’m a team player,” and when the song evolved into a back and forth between original member Ralph Tresvant and Gill, Jam says they would stay in the studio to watch and support each other’s recording sessions. Jam and Lewis would go on to make solo hits for both Gill and Tresvant but still maintain that the recording process of “Can You Stand The Rain” was “that moment that really solidified them in their new formation as a group.”

Ok what year was this one eligible for the Grammys because I don't understand how this wasn't even nominated?!?! This is a classic R&B group performance. It's a true group performance between Johnny and Ralph's lead parts, Johnny's classic ad-libs, Ricky's belted parts, and the harmonies.
