Saturday Sing-Off: Minnelli, Manchester, Etheridge, Tennille & more take on “Come In From the Rain”
Welcome to a new weekly feature where I pick a song of various genres and post multiple versions with the hope that readers will post in the comments which is their favorite. We kick off with the beautiful ballad Come In From The Rain written by Carole Bayer Sager and Melissa Manchester and first released in 1975. It was covered by any number of artists including particularly splendid versions by Toni Tennille and Jane Oliver, the great singer who Melissa Etheridge talks a bit about in the intro to her version. Diana Ross does a fine version but the real surpise to me is how absolutely lovely Liza Minnelli’s is.
Enjoy!

Nathan Lane says his Hulu comedy ‘Mid-Century Modern’ is more than “the gay Golden Girls”
Nathan Lane joined Deadline on The Actor’s Side to discuss his role in the new Hulu series ‘Mid-Century Modern’, created by the iconic Ryan Murphy. Lane discusses the groundbreaking nature of the show, which follows a group of older gay men navigating friendship, love, and aging in a world that often overlooks their stories.
He shares what drew him to the project, the joy of portraying characters who are complex, funny, and fully realized, and how ‘Mid-Century Modern’ breaks new ground in LGBTQ+ representation on television. Lane also speaks candidly about the humor, heart, and humanity behind the show—and how it pays homage to classics like ‘The Golden Girls.’
