"September in the Rain" is a popular song about nostalgia[1] written by Harry Warren and Al Dubin, and published in 1937. The song was introduced by James Melton in the film Melody for Two. It has become a standard, having been recorded by many artists since.
In 1937, three recordings of the song appeared in the record chart: Guy Lombardo, James Melton, and the Rhythm Wreckers (vocal by Pauline Byrns). The song became popular again in 1948 and 1949 when versions by Sam Donahue and the George Shearing Quintet briefly reached the charts.[2]
