Gary Walker & the Rain's reign was short & not so sweet. Formed in 1967, after a less-than-spectacular debut single, "Spooky," UK Polydor reluctantly gave the band permission to record an album, which they did. However the record company refused to release it. But it wasn't all bad, as Japan devoured their music, giving the band godlike status in that country. After several more failed singles, the Rain called it quits just one year after forming.

LYRICS: Magazine Woman
Imagine the scenes that you've seen in your dreams with the woman
The scenes in your dreams make it seem like you've been with that woman
Magazine woman, magazine woman
It's so strange as it seems that it isn't quite real but supposing
The feelings you feel become real even though you're just dozing
Magazine woman, magazine woman
Run, run, run, run, run to the sky
Run, run, run, run, run to the sky
It's certainly nice when you know you can go when you need to
It's certainly nice when you get to the place someone needs you
Magazine woman, magazine woman
It's so good to know if you go there you know she is waiting
This woman you dream of you know she is hating your waiting
Magazine woman, magazine woman
Run, run, run, run, run to the sky
Run, run, run, run, run to the sky
Run, run, run, run, run to the sky
Run, run, run, run, run to the sky
Run, run, run, run, run to the sky
Run, run, run, run, run to the sky
Run, run, run, run, run to the sky
Run, run, run, run, run to this woman
Run, run, run, run, run to this woman
Run, run, run, run, run to this woman
Run, run, run, run, run to this woman
