Did you know It s Raining Men, the 1982 disco hit by the Weather Girls, had a secret Canadian connection?
The song, which was announced today as the latest to be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, was co-written by Toronto-born musician and former band leader of
Late Show with David Letterman, Paul Shaffer. Shaffer wrote the track with Donna Summer hitmaker Paul Jabara, who also co-produced the song alongside Bob Esty.
