"Lluvia De Primavera", released in America as "Spring Rain", is an instrumental composition by Bebu Silvetti.

Released in 1975 the single did not receive airplay and chart in the USA until January 1977 when, driven by popularity in discos, it reached #39, joining the list of 1970s one-hit wonders in the United States. The single charted in South Africa in June 1977 at #4. The album version is longer than the original 1975 single version, which covered only the Hispavox A-side, with "Travel Check" on the B-side. In March 1977 Polydor Germany issued the album version split over 2 x 7" sides for discotheque use as "Spring Rain Part I / Part II".

The single has been reissued on many compilations, such as Salsoul Jam 2000, and sampled on songs including Shangri-La (Denki Groove song), and Helter Stupid.

TV themes

The tune was used as the theme of The Love Experts, the 1984 pilot of Jackpot! (hosted by Nipsey Russell at the time), and The Big Spin.
