Ann Peebles (born 27 April 1947) was a popular R&B/Soul singer during the 1970s.  Having began performing in her father's church she then started performing in clubs in the St Louis area.

In 1968 she performed in Memphis and was there introduced to Willie Mitchell who was a producer at Hi Records. She recorded a string of 45s for the label achieving success on the R&B charts. Her perhaps best known recording was "I Can't Stand The Rain", released in 1973 to worldwide acclaim.

This 45, released in 1974, came from her fourth album "I Can't Stand The Rain", released on Hi Records it also contained the title track and a later single "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" which was later covered by Paul Young. In the UK Hi Records were released on the London label.

Ann continued recording with Hi Records until the label closed in 1979 at which point she took break from the music industry.  She returned to performing in 1989 with an album release on Willie Mitchell's Waylo label and continued touring and recording until she suffered a stroke in 2012 which curtailed her career.

The Animals The Animals Is Here EP Columbia SEG 8374 (1964) An early EP from the original lineup of the band namely vocalist Eric Burdon, guitarist Hilton Valentine, bass guitarist Chas Chandler, keyboardist Alan Price and drummer John Steel.  The group formed in Newcastle upon Tyne during 1962 and 1963 when Burdon joined the Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo and they performed as the Alan Price Combo. They later changed their name to the Animals. They were supposedly dubbed "animals" because of their wild stage act, and the name stuck. Known for their gritty, bluesy sound, they balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm-and-blues-oriented album material and were part of the British Invasion of the US. FLAC
