James Melton (January 2, 1904 -- April 21, 1961), a popular singer in the 1920s and early 1930s, later began a career as an operatic singer when tenor voices went out of style in popular music around 1932-35. His singing talent was similar to that of Richard Crooks, John Charles Thomas or Nelson Eddy.
"September in the Rain" is a popular song by Harry Warren and Al Dubin, published in 1937. The song was introduced by James Melton in the film Melody for Two. It has become a standard, having been recorded by many artists since.
In 1962, The Beatles recorded a rock 'n roll interpretation during their famed Decca audition.
