About Don't Go out into the Rain

"Don't Go Out into the Rain (You're Going to Melt)" is a 1967 hit single by Herman's Hermits. The song was written by Brill Building songsmith Kenny Young who himself made the original recording of the song – as "Don't Go Out into the Rain (You're Gonna Melt)" – leading a session group credited as the Seagulls. This version broke in the Miami area in December 1966 and was consequently picked up for national release by Date Records failing to garner enough regional attention to reach the Billboard Hot 100. Herman's Hermits – who had scored a 1965 hit with Kenny Young's "Just a Little Bit Better" – recorded "Don't Go Out into the Rain (You're Going to Melt)" for single release in June 1967; the followup to the million-seller "There's a Kind of Hush", "Don't Go Out into the Rain..." just reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 with a No. 18 peak evidencing the eclipsing of the "British Invasion" acts with the shift in the American musical focus punctuated by the "Summer of Love".
