Paul Jabara & Friends is the fourth studio album by American actor, singer and songwriter Paul Jabara, best known for writing Donna Summer's hit "Last Dance" and the Summer/Barbra Streisand duet "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)". The album includes the multimillion-selling single release "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls, written and produced by Jabara in late 1982. The album was reissued on March 13, 1993[1]
Paul Jabara & Friends was released in 1983 on the CBS Records label, with guest vocalists including The Weather Girls and Leata Galloway. It also features vocals of a 16-year-old relatively unknown R&B singer named Whitney Houston, though the album was released when she was 19 years old.
The tracks "It's Raining Men" and "Hope" were both included on the Weather Girls' 1983 debut album Success and the album also featured a song co-written by Diana Ross and Paul Jabara ("Ladies Hot Line").
