"Can You Stop the Rain" is the title track of a 1991 number-one R&B single by Peabo Bryson, taken from his fifteenth studio album of the same name. The song spent two weeks at number one on the US R&B chart and peaked at number fifty-two on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached #11 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
Directed by Rocky Schenck, the video is shot in a sepia tone with Bryson singing the song in places like a plaza, a ballroom containing a band performing and inside a room where he sings to a window that's pouring rain.
