This brings back great memories. "No show" was, and still is, a great song. The entire album on which it features, that is, 1981's "Something special," was, and still is, a great music album, among the best music albums of our time. I'm from Kenya, in East Africa, I'm 55 years old, and "Kool & The Gang," their music and their legacy, helped strengthen the Black pride of my generation. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 2nd July 2024.

I can remember being a kid, and the first time I played this song on my pops album. I was caught up in every word of this story he was telling. I'm 49 now and its still one of coldest love stories ever told. ❤❤❤
"Something Special' was their best album and this was my best track. I actually enjoyed how JT handled their ballads. Of course I did not know what a 'No show' or heartbreak was in junior high school. The song became poignant years later.
Mann I just heard this on the radio. Haven’t heard this in a long time. This joint brings me way back with a fond memory of how simple life used to be back then. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song is a "SLEEPER"! This is a cold classic. I dedicate this one to the former "Helen Nichols". She was my girl back when this came out & she put me down with this cut. This was her song & once I heard it....I was hooked. Thanks Sexy Slim
These guy's have a talent that is very rare. Such quality with their sound and such energy when on stage live in concert. Not like these boring xfactor statues who have no talent. Thank God for the 80's when music was music and bands were bands 🎷🎸🎹🎤
Fernando Rodriguez J'ai enormement Kool and the gang j'ai eut la chance de les voir en concert sur Lyon et je ne me lasse jamais d'ecouter plusieurs de leurs morceaux
@@zahia31zahia92 quelle chance Barbara ! Moi aussi j'adore Kool and the gang et je trouve que leurs chansons sont indémodable et traverse le temps. Merci a vous Barbara
It hurt me so bad, baby. We waited for that perfect day, for you and I to slip away. I stood in the falling rain, you never showed, never came. NO SHOW! What man HASN'T experienced this?
I love Kool and the Gang I also had the privilege of meeting Them after a Concert at 3 River's Statium very nice Guy who really gave a Damm about Their Fans top notch and Classy yes Kool and the Gang much Love ❤️
Perché sono andati a finire nel dimenticatoio, erano fantastici, la musica degli anni 80 che ti faceva sognare adocchiato aperti, sarà x sempre meraviglioso, ascoltare le loro canzoni 😍😍😍😍😍
I have loved this song since I was a child didn't understand it then but I always heard my Mom & Dad singing it and I fell in love with this song now my children hear me playing it everyday and they're singing it, they just don't make music like this no more,Thanks Kool and the Gang for the beautiful music.
+gina briane I thought I was the only one who couldn't find this song!! Once I thought I lucked up and bought it at Wal-mart on cd, it was somebody else singing the damn track, I was mad... lol
+aquarius d I remember hearing it on a radio show and just fell in love. everyone thought I was crazy. so glad to find out if truly exist and I wasn't loosing my mind
I thought at last love came to pass In my life there was a chance To believe in someone new [Love finally came] We waited for the perfect day You and I would slip away Become one inside our dreams Oh, but I stood in the falling rain You never showed, never came I stood in the falling rain You never showed, never came No show [You never showed, never came] You said your love was strong for me I must face reality I believed and called your name, oh [You never came] Now I'm alone on my way home Just a fool who played the game With a love I thought I knew Oh, yes, I stood in the falling rain You never showed, never came I stood in the falling rain You never showed, never came I stood in the falling rain You never showed, never came I tried to hide my emotions But my lips kept on saying your name No show I thought at last love came to pass In my life was a chance To believe in someone new like you We waited for the perfect day For you and I to slip away Become one inside our dreams Oh, but I stood in the falling rain You never showed, never came I stood in the falling rain You never showed, never came No show [You never showed, never came] I stood in the falling rain (You never came) You never showed, never came (Hurt me so, baby, why didn't you show in the falling rain) I stood in the falling rain You never showed, never came I stood in the falling rain (I thought that you loved me) You never showed, never came (When you and I had made our plans, baby) I stood in the falling rain (We waited for the perfect day) You never showed, never came (Darling, I stood in the falling rain) I stood in the falling rain You never showed, never came Stood in the falling rain And you never showed, never came I stood in the falling rain (I tried to hide my emotions) You never showed, never came (But my lips kept on saying your name) I stood in the falling rain
Saw them do this song LIVE. Brought tears to my eyes. Even as a man I couldn't hide the hurt and pain I've been thru but then again there are a lot of songs that can bring about tears and it doesn't have to be about being hurt thru LOVE !!!
JT always sung from the heart, in essence his songs always touches the heart " come on back to us J T we need some good vibes out here, your fans miss your 🎶.
Kool and The Gang one of my favorite bands they had the 80s locked down..I love that they write songs about difficult situations such as being left at the alter (No show)..divorce (Jones vs Jones)..and the passing of a loved on (Cherish The Love) and turn them into hit records..shame they don't make 'em like they used to..greats bands are a thing of the past
Oh boy. What nice moments my generation had when the Motown bands created songs from the heart. Thanks to KPRS-103.3 (The Kansas City Connection) in the 80's which played this and other gems.
Yes. Figuratively speaking, I've stood in the falling rain so many times and it was a "no show"... and whenever it's a no show, this song just plays over and over in my mind...
Patricia Branham Yeah, I’ve been in the no show scene. Painful. It is one thing if a person calls and cancels. It is worse when one buys show tickets and waits at the appointed dinner place and time and the person does not arrive. No show- naughty girl, hurts so much, no respect for me.
I wish there was a way to automatically delete trolls and then block them. If you don't like the song or the group, don't listen. Keep it moving. No one needs to read your ignorant vulgar comments. Thank you.
Can you imagine how crushing it would be to make the person who was supposed to be with you hear this. They would be devastated and probably try to find you. :O
What I love most about this video are the vintage pictures of African Americans that pop up after JT says "Noooo Shooow". I'm not sure how those pictures relate to the song, but they are beautiful and some how they just fit in with the video.
This song was heart-breaker. I fell in love with this lady name Jennie in 1981 right after i got out of the Navy and i didn't know she was married, she finally told me. By then it was to late, she had my heart, but i went home alone.
They don't make slow jams/love songs liek this anymore. Simple, but effective lyrics. Simple musical arrangement. In the words of Levert, "bring back the good ole days"
The sad thing about this video Is 4 of the members here are no longer with us. Rest in peace
Very sad
1. Kool’s younger brother: “Ronald”
2. Dennis Thomas (DT)

4. Clifford Adams

@@kashirocks-lk2qn 😢very sad it was my youth also as we📺🛋l
JT's voice was like silk... one of the most under rated voices of all time;
Agree 100 percent
Totally agree
It's still a great song - after all these years - great memories
Amen My Friend,😘❣️
AMEN !! and one of a kind !! No one sounds like him !! Even in FALSETTO RANGE ==>..STEPPIN' OUT / SURRENDER
JT’s voice was the best thing that happened to Cool an The Gang
OUCH!..
Almost want to cry because my kids are missing out on great love songs like this. Todays music is a NO SHOW
Yes lady
I agree 😊
Amen my generation don’t know good music if it slapped them in the face
I can remember playing this song over and over as a teen. Never did I think it would take this long to truly understand the lyrics. Beautiful song!
Very Sad 😔 song
But it is So Beautiful
I loved it back then and I still love it to this day 👍🏾🖤🧢
Me too. We had some good ass music growing up
Replay, replay, replay, I never get tired of hearing this song!

Amen, I've been there and I 🙏 that NO ONE EVER goes through the pain I did 😭💔‼️😢
JT Taylor was the face of Kool and the Gang, this classic is one of my fav tracks by this group. Love it

What a beautiful love ballad song by Kool And The Gang you can really feel his emotions while JT is singing this song.
Yessss
Cool
JT is the man
JT...
cool!!!
thanx guys
Always a hit
One of the most heartfelt, moving love & heartbreak songs I've ever heard .
This is now 2019...and I STILL play this song! Will always be one of my favs!
"Something Special' was their best album and this was my best track. I actually enjoyed how JT handled their ballads. Of course I did not know what a 'No show' or heartbreak was in junior high school. The song became poignant years later.
💯
What a voice.music was essential so was cool and the gang.
"As One" was great too but I, personally think "Emergency" was their best album with the US top 10 hits like FRESH, MISLED and CHERISH
Mann I just heard this on the radio. Haven’t heard this in a long time. This joint brings me way back with a fond memory of how simple life used to be back then. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
we need more music like this.
no show, great lyrics and music, of course The voice JT the best
This song is a "SLEEPER"! This is a cold classic. I dedicate this one to the former "Helen Nichols". She was my girl back when this came out & she put me down with this cut. This was her song & once I heard it....I was hooked. Thanks Sexy Slim
JT.... The voice that was meant to be.
J.T.!!!!!😍 THAT VOICE!! Had the opportunity to meet him, after a concert many years ago. A very nice guy. #humble
I hope Kool and the gang get Kennedy honors award for their contribution to American culture and their iconic music.
These guy's have a talent that is very rare. Such quality with their sound and such energy when on stage live in concert. Not like these boring xfactor statues who have no talent. Thank God for the 80's when music was music and bands were bands 🎷🎸🎹🎤

Une chanson magnifique sublimée par la voix de James jt taylor
KOOL AND THE GANG PAVED THE WAY FOR MANY THANKS
Kool & The Gang for ever. From Venice ( Italy )
That album is full of hits.
I thought at last love came to pass
In my life there was a chance
To believe in someone new
[Love finally came]
We waited for the perfect day
You and I would slip away
Become one inside our dreams
Oh, but I stood in the falling rain
You never showed, never came
I stood in the falling rain
You never showed, never came
No show
[You never showed, never came]
You said your love was strong for me
I must face reality
I believed and called your name, oh
[You never came]
Now I'm alone on my way home
Just a fool who played the game
With a love I thought I knew
Oh, yes, I stood in the falling rain
You never showed, never came
I stood in the falling rain
You never showed, never came
I stood in the falling rain
You never showed, never came
I tried to hide my emotions
But my lips kept on saying your name
No show
I thought at last love came to pass
In my life was a chance
To believe in someone new like you
We waited for the perfect day
For you and I to slip away
Become one inside our dreams
Oh, but I stood in the falling rain
You never showed, never came
I stood in the falling rain
You never showed, never came
No show
[You never showed, never came]
I stood in the falling rain (You never came)
You never showed, never came (Hurt me so, baby, why didn't you show in the
falling rain)
I stood in the falling rain
You never showed, never came
I stood in the falling rain (I thought that you loved me)
You never showed, never came (When you and I had made our plans, baby)
I stood in the falling rain (We waited for the perfect day)
You never showed, never came (Darling, I stood in the falling rain)
I stood in the falling rain
You never showed, never came
Stood in the falling rain
And you never showed, never came
I stood in the falling rain (I tried to hide my emotions)
You never showed, never came (But my lips kept on saying your name)
I stood in the falling rain
Saw them do this song LIVE. Brought tears to my eyes. Even as a man I couldn't hide the hurt and pain I've been thru but then again there are a lot of songs that can bring about tears and it doesn't have to be about being hurt thru LOVE !!!

My second favorite K&TG ballad after "Cherish." Lovely song
God knows how much i love this song.
JT always sung from the heart, in essence his songs always touches the heart " come on back to us J T we need some good vibes out here, your fans miss your 🎶.

It keeps memories alive.thanks cool and the gang and brother JT

🎶Become one inside our dreams🎶😻🥲
I love this song and JT. Smooches baby.
I love this song.
2022 and this beautiful song is reminiscent of the type of music I love. They don’t make them like this anymore.
sad song but I'm sure it happens to the best of us!!!
Yes. Figuratively speaking, I've stood in the falling rain so many times and it was a "no show"... and whenever it's a no show, this song just plays over and over in my mind...
Patricia Branham Yeah, I’ve been in the no show scene. Painful. It is one thing if a person calls and cancels. It is worse when one buys show tickets and waits at the appointed dinner place and time and the person does not arrive. No show- naughty girl, hurts so much, no respect for me.
Hope not
Can't get enough of that funky stuff !!!! Such a great song with powerful and beautiful vocals and arrengments !!!
No Show from the lp "Something Special."
I wish there was a way to automatically delete trolls and then block them. If you don't like the song or the group, don't listen. Keep it moving. No one needs to read your ignorant vulgar comments. Thank you.
Classic
So true
Sharrell Davis I totally 100% agree!!! These Gen Z’s and some millennials don’t appreciate great music 🎶👌👌
Ignore the bull shit they have no substance what so ever. Dislikes should never own a gun.
As classic as Kool and the Gang. Too many snowflakes around these days.
wow..3 people must've had this song on mute...
This is true music..not the crap we see on MTV today..
Who is with me in 2024?
i am my favorite song by Kool and the gang
So emotionnal !!! Really love this song ;-)))
This whole album was awesome. "Something special
Love this song. It makes me cry!!
One of my all time Favorite songs
makeithap Michel les poemes
This is a very sad song,but its has message behind it.Music just aint the same.Glad I was apart of the 80's.
I also played this over and over when i was 20. Just found it. 50 years old and still love it
Ho i brividi a riascoltare questo capolavoro 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
It's the falsetto background vocals for me.
can't find such meaningful song these days anymore...
God I miss the 80's days
Happen to me in 2005 ,, but still love this song !!
Lol. Thanks man !
I hope everyone stood in the falling rain and got through it
Can you imagine how crushing it would be to make the person who was supposed to be with you hear this. They would be devastated and probably try to find you. :O
I love this Song very much ♥️🎵🎶 I listen it over and over again
I just love JT's Voice 😍😍
in un giornotriste come oggi questa canzone la dedico al mio unico grande amore di tanti anni fa.
I listen to this song over and over and over....I can listen 100000 times... simply one of the best
You never showed never came, no show. He never came.
Totally agree, this brought back so many memories. Such a great band
What I love most about this video are the vintage pictures of African Americans that pop up after JT says "Noooo Shooow". I'm not sure how those pictures relate to the song, but they are beautiful and some how they just fit in with the video.
This song was heart-breaker. I fell in love with this lady name Jennie in 1981 right after i got out of the Navy and i didn't know she was married, she finally told me. By then it was to late, she had my heart, but i went home alone.
(Hugs)
She stood him up on THEIR wedding day! 😢 Real emotions! We had these!
I like this song, it is hard to find on cd, I never knew they had a video!
Just like Joanna, another great track from KATG
Fresh
They don't make slow jams/love songs liek this anymore.
Simple, but effective lyrics. Simple musical arrangement.
In the words of Levert, "bring back the good ole days"
Grandissimi!! Un solo aggettivo!!!
This is real singing! Oh man take me way back
My daughter likes breaking heart, so I send a video of this song to her !!!
I'm hoping this song will go deep into her soul 🙏 ❤ 😔
J was nice, took the Gang to it's highest heights
I've literally forgotten about this track for 30 years, until just now, wow!
classics dont get any better just like wine better with time
