Making Love in the Rain

"Making Love in the Rain" is the third single by Herb Alpert from his Keep Your Eye on Me album. It features lead vocals by Lisa Keith with back-up vocals by Janet Jackson. It also features the rare occurrence of Alpert playing a muted trumpet, since he normally plays without one.

"Making Love in the Rain" was a big success on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, reaching number seven. In the 1987 US Billboard adult contemporary chart, the song is peaked at number 21. The song did moderately well on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 35.

For the first time, Jackson included the song during the DJ interlude on the second leg of her 2018 State of the World Tour.
