The story behind
Kool & the Gang recorded "No Show" for their 1981 album *Something Special*. The version released as a single in 2005 features Blackstreet and was released by Edel. The song is a smooth funk track with a rhythm that blends blues and soul. The lyrics tell the story of someone waiting in the rain for a promise that never comes. The song was produced by Kool & the Gang and Eumir Deodato, and written by several songwriters. The 2005 version peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart. ↓ Skip to chordsIntro
