"Rainy Jane" is a song written and originally recorded by Neil Sedaka in 1969, covered two years later by Davy Jones. Sedaka's rendition became a minor hit in the U.S., Canada and Australia.

Davy Jones version[edit]

Former Monkees lead singer Davy Jones covered "Rainy Jane" in 1971 on his album Davy Jones. He achieved a medium hit with the song that summer in the U.S. (No. 52 Billboard, No. 32 Cash Box) and a substantially larger hit in Canada (No. 14 Pop, No. 21 Adult Contemporary).
