It Never Rains in Southern California - Albert Hammond.
Interestingly, he was from England
The song concerns the struggles of a singer who moves out to California to pursue a career in Hollywood but does not have any success and deteriorates in the process. In the chorus, Hammond sings, "It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya. It pours, man it pours."
Open Up Your Heart and Let the Sunshine In - Written by Stuart Hamblen in 1953 and recorded by many people and it was featured on an episode of The Flintstones.
...oh, yeah. Anyone besides me recall seeing the old '70s In Concert show when Curtis Mayfield & band played this? The bassist's fuzzed out tone, coming outta my parents TV console, no less...killed me!
