Albert Hammond~It never rains in Southern California

原是直布羅陀家庭的Albert Hammond因戰亂關係，母親被疏散到London並誕下Albert Hammond(1944)，幾個月後家庭成員重聚並返回家鄉生活。似乎Albert的事業在西班牙發展比美國好，雖然他有一首it never rains in Southern California在72年打入美國NO,5。

It never rains in Southern California

此曲當年響片香港街頭巷尾及校園，風頭一時無兩


Got on board a westbound seven-forty-seven

Didn't think before deciding what to do

All that talk of opportunities

TV breaks and movies

Rang true, sure rang true
Seems it never rains in Southern California

Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before

It never rains in California

But, girl, don't they warn ya

It pours, man, it pours
Out of work, I'm out of my head

Out of self-respect, I'm out of bread

I'm underloved, I'm underfed

I wanna go home
It never rains in CaliforniaBut,

girl, don't they warn ya

It pours, man, it pours
Will you tell the folks back home

I nearly made it

Had offers but don't know which one to take

Please, don't tell them how you found me

Don't tell them how you found me

Give me a break, give me a break
Seems it never rains in Southern California

Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before

It never rains in California

But, girl, don't they warn ya

It pours, man, it pours
