This song was composed by Irving Berlin for the movie TOP HAT starring Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire in 1935. In the course of the movie, Fred's character meets Ginger's character, and it is love at first sight for him, but not for her. She's determined to avoid him as he is to win her heart. In one scene, both of them are trapped on a bandstand in London's Hyde Park during a rainstorm.. and this is where the song comes into play.
Stacey Kent did a good job at interpreting this song. I like Ella Fitzgerald's interpretation too (which can be heard from one of her songbooks).
