The Cascades were an American vocal group best known for their hit single "Rhythm of the Rain" in 1963, which has been described as one of the last great songs of the pre-Beatles era.

In 1960, the Silver Strands were a group of U.S. Navy personnel serving on the USS Jason based in San Diego, California, who were led by guitarist Lenny Green and played local shows. They recruited John Gummoe and left the Navy to become the Thundernotes. Green had the idea of performing rock and roll music with an exotic twist, along the lines of Arthur Lyman and Martin Denny. To help capture this new sound, they introduced an electric piano, and Gummoe became the group's lead singer. Their first release was an instrumental on Bob Keene's Del Fi Records label called "Thunder Rhythm." It was not a hit and Green left the group, eventually becoming a successful songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee.

At this point, the group's membership consolidated as John Gummoe (lead vocals), Eddy Snyder (guitar), David Szabo (keyboardist), Dave Stevens (bassist), and Dave Wilson (drummer).

The group started to get more interested in vocal harmony, influenced by the Beach Boys. They recorded demos which ended up with Barry De Vorzon at Valiant Records, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers, who signed them up and also changed their name to the Cascades -- supposedly inspired by a nearby box of detergent. Their first release, "There's a Reason," became a small regional hit.

In November 1962, the group cut "Rhythm of the Rain," a million-seller later bought by tens of thousands of San Diego kids, at Phil Spector’s Gold Star Studio in Hollywood, using an echo chamber to layer voices, instruments, and drums. Gummoe’s solo voice combined with the Everly Brothers’–style harmony (ahhhh, gone away; pitter pat, pat-pat-pat), the rinky-ding-ding melody on glockenspiel, and that peerless opening — thunder crash, falling rain, tune rolling in, one of the sweetest blends ever of lyric and sound effect to texturize a pop tune.

I USE GOLDMINE RECORDS AS A GUIDE FOR GRADING: Still Sealed - SS

Mint - M - Perfect, never played, possibly still sealed.

Near Mint - NM - Nearly perfect. No obvious signs of wear, no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear, or other signs of slight handling. LP Jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes.

Very Good Plus - VG+ or Excellent- Shows some signs that it was played, and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. May show slight signs of wear, scuffs, or very light scratches that didn't affect the listening. Slight warps that do not affect the sound. Label may have some ring wear, or discoloration. Picture sleeves & LP inner sleeves may have slight ring wear,lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. Jacket may have slight signs of wear, and may have a cut-hole.

Very Good -VG - Same as VG+, and may have surface noise, groove wear will be noticeable, and scratches that affect the sound. Labels may have writing, tape, or stickers.

Good Plus - G+ -Good - G- Will play without skipping and have significant surface noise, visible scratches, and groove wear. Jacket will have seam splits at the bottom, or the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects.
